I'm on the east coast so no good for me but here's a nice mono Ampex R2R deck and two very cool tube-powered suitcase speakers. I have those speakers. Nice!

Cool,
Glad I'm on the right side (that is opposed to the left not the wrong)
Otherwise those would be tempting

I’m guessing the seller doesn’t really know what they have there, particularly the speakers.

I'm close, had I seen this, this morning I might have contacted them. That right there is two tube mono blocks for 160 bucks.

Yep right here in Redwood City, my sisters first house was a block away from the Ampex building.

427, why is this not standing in your backyard? Damn, Stanford tore it down.

Yeah, I think I paid more than that for a nice working pair of those speakers 25 years ago.
Used to run 'em in the office hooked to a cassette player.
My idea of a boombox.
