Polishing Turds

It is worth noting that the AR-XA's price of %78 in the early 1960s works out to about $630 today.

They polished that "turd" in the places that matter. The machining in places critical to performance was to very close tolerances. Its performance met or beat NAB standards of the time.

I still have one in daily use and the music sounds fine.
