Hi everyone, my name is Gary and I'm from Texas. I was into vintage audio gear when it wasn't vintage, but mostly just the store displays until 1978, when I had finally mowed enough lawns and other odd jobs to buy a Technics SA-400 receiver .Paired with a cheap set of floor speakers I "borrowed" from my sister's abandoned Zenith system. In the early 80's, I put a pair of Mach One's with it and rocked my way through the 80's and 90's. In the early 2000's it was stolen. Stayed away from home audio and focused on show cars and competition car audioaudio for the next 10 years.
Today, I bought a very nice example of a Marantz 2240. Recently serviced. New bulbs, adjusted, calibrated, cleaned and lubricated with new caps. Probably over paid for it, but cosmetically it is near flaeless and I am very excited about it.
