December 1966
Miracord ... Garrard ... Viking .... great names from the past.  Back when electronics were built like tanks, with real wood trim, solid knobs and switches. 

My kingdom for a set of H.H. Scott speakers, though.  Back in the '60s, my ex-wife's father worked for Scott; in their living room is a 30+ year old set of Scott speakers.  Magnificent doesn't begin to cover their sound.

If you love old electronics as much as I do, you'll enjoy this side trip to browse the 1960 H. H. Scott Hi-Fi Catalog.  The catalog's cover alone is worth the click.


Sorry, Kmart, but if I want a "retro" tree, I'll find a time machine and go buy one of these instead.
