Mine was a kit that I bought from an outfit in Chicago and put together
myself. It was all 'valves' ... It's been so long, I forget what I
actually had. I remember the records and tapes more than I do equipment
from that time. However, there was the amplifier and a turntable with
speakers I bought out of another catalog. But I don't remember any names.
Anyway, Allied Radio, the electronics place where I bought the kit and
turntable, is no longer in business.

Right on that. I haven't seen any new records in ages. There are plenty of
used records around though.
