^^^^^When did Horshack become such the ladies man?

At a yard sale last summer, looking at a set of speakers, Coral BX-300. The owner said, "take them, they're free, I don't think they work".
OK, free is always good. Then he said, "here's a brochure that came with them" He bought them while serving in Vietnam and told me they 'survived' in his 'hooch'.
I got them home and the only thing that worked right were the horn tweeters. I started to examine them more closely and noticed fine slits cut through the grill cloth. Strange I thought, and opened them up. The slits extended through the grill cloth on line and through the cones of the tweeters and mids.
I swear someone had bayoneted them. Did they sound that bad, that the GI's in the hooch bayonet them, or were they over-run by VC, or did one of his hootch mates dislike his genre of music...?

I'm betting on an ex-wife. Amazing to have saved the speakers - and brochure - all these years.

Pioneer SX-434 ad from a December 1975 Scientific American magazine. I have a box of the magazines (mix of 1950's, late 60's and 70's) that I will wanting to part with as I read them. The 1960's and 70's ones have some good stereo and car ads. I gave a couple to a local Volvo mechanic.

More ad from late 1970's Scientific American magazines. The Apple II above the JVC tape deck ad is from July 1978 about a year after the Apple II was introduced.
