Once upon a time there was a company named Boulton that had multiroom multi source audio that selected records using a rotary dial. Will anyone admit to knowing about that one?

never mind.

Yes, 84 stores down the tubes in about 1985. I have a good deal of their parts department (old Dual, Garrard, BIC parts for turntables, which we have serviced since way back when).

Quadraflex, Concept, Spectrosonic, I'm forgetting some. Quadraflex speakers were decent sounding for the price, unique in that the drivers were mounted to the front baffle with STAPLES, the kind Larry uses to hold his 110 romex to 2x4s all day long... now that's cheap! It made it a little fun when we had to recone them.

Welcome YEAH, to Pacific YEAH, Stereo-OH! (remember that).

Well, back to reality...

That's CDP-101. I have one here. I have a collection of service manuals for the original CDs from Sony, Hitachi, Technics, Philips...those things were thick. Hitachi couldn't make theirs work and had so many modifications. When one came in for service, we had to check the back panel to see if it had the red dot, blue dot, yellow dot, brown dot, or several of the above, to see how many mods had already been done on it.

I have the Sony service manuals for the Elcaset. Anybody remember what that was? It had potential to displace the lousy sounding Philips Compact Cassette (which was the mainstream cassette) but couldn't catch on. People aren't always interested in the best fidelity, best picture, etc.

This has been fun.

Not as far back but i had to do my first lutron homeworks system programming manually, you know press the button on the keypad, go to the dimmer closet(s), adjust the lights how you wanted, run back to the keypad..................... all this in the dark because you can't set scenes during the day. and oh yeah the last day i was there, almost done, they released their bata software to use a laptop.

How about the CDPCX100 - 100 disc xger for 1200.00!

Or Harmon Video?

Or the Runco 850?

It's 14/4 guys, not 16/4!

JPL, Yes I agree it's 14 for us...But I knew industry standard is 16, so it just seemed funnier...Harmon Video became Dwin, and man I use to hang alot of 3 gun Harmon,s..

This is a remote forum. I still have 2, CL9-COREs. Anyone remember those?

Echostar begging for resellers at CES.

I do. Imagine a cassette on steroids. It held about an hour's worth of 1/4" tape, if I remember correctly.

No, but I had a Memorex CP8.

I have a friend who had the Garrard Zero-100 zero-tracking-error articulating-head tone arm.

I preferred my Dual 1229 with the flip-up dust cover and flip-down base w/ storage compartment.

Let us not forget the Shure V15 Type III cartridge.

I still have a Sony Super-beta deck, and a Technics SL-QL15 programmable, straight-arm turntable.
