I bought this stand for $40 from Facebook Market place for my son inlaw's setup. I goofed with the purchase because the guy measured the shelf width outside of the pillars instead of the inside of the pillars. I freaked when I measured those distances because its going to be a shoe horn fit. I tested the fit by placing a Yamaha RX-V1900 (he has the RX-V1800 which have identical dimensions) and it fits...sort of.. like a tshirt that has shrunk somewhat and is trying to cover a beer belly.

We had a Buick dealer in my town. Lindemann. They had one of these and believe it a GnX in the showroom. They were one of those sells a lot of $$ models dealers, so yesh they got the really nice stuff. I was glued to the showroom window at age 17. GLUED, I SAY!
Dad had the $, and I was a divorce kid. Wasn’t able to guilt his cheap a$$ into anything but another pair of shoes :rflmao:

Probably should clarify from a post last night to this one. Had two different dads, cheapo was bio dad, he and ma divorced when I was really young. His dad (grandpa) had started an energy company after ww2 and it was solid. Actual person I call dad was the New York City fellow who worked in the old WTC.

We were not so well off. My Dad told me if I wanted a car I needed to get one for myself. 1975 I bought a 1964 Galaxie 500 from my neighbor for $15. Was missing some front end parts. Had my Dad take me to the junk yard and I found one and bought the parts for $75. By the time I was 16 it was road ready. Drove it til I left for the Navy at 18.

my parents gave me a '74 mustang ii with a small block when i was 15. i really had zero interest in it.

when i turned 16 and started hanging with a different crowd that were all car guys. i started showing interest in it and asking dad all kinds of questions about it.

almost as if he was waiting for it, he called my uncle and sold it to him for my cousin.

i can't say that's what set me off but after that, i was in constant trouble. school and with the police....around the time i started drinking too.
