Hi, Dave:

Don't you wish you had that time machine? I've actually had folks GIVE me Model 7's in the past! You could have heard me shouting "THANKS!" across several states when that happened!

Didn't the 7-T utilize germanium transistors?

Not good sounding. I wonder how many people have ever bothered updating those older units to any advantage?

I've also owned and sold a few 7-T's, never much appreciating them at all.

A clean, updated and working Model 7 does sound a bit euphoric, but compared with one in original shape (though stratospherically more valuable these days), the earlier unit will not exhibit such low harmonic distortion on paper as a unit which was been fully updated and restored.

Would you drive a vintage vehicle around on its original vintage oil?
