Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Good god what a dog's breakfast that thing is. The soldering is a joke, and gluing components to the chassis... Meh, I've done it but I won't do it again. I had a large filter cap I glued to the chassis of a Grundig radio because I didn't have a suitable clamp. Worked fine for 10 years, then came unglued and shorted against the chassis.

But seriously, $7500 for something so sloppily rebuilt is just a joke. There really does seem to be a lot of builders out there suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.
