Two Years Of Improvements In Meteor Cylinder Kits (Brad's Pics)

[casual cutter]

Who makes parts in the U.S. anymore ?

The ones that do, you can probably count them on your right hand, and they're most likely in the process of moving production overseas also...

Priced a Pioneer SX-1980 lately ?

I have. A lot of the vintage Pioneer stuff is up there, along with Onkyo.

My brother has a Pioneer SX-1980. He bought it brand new from the BX while stationed at Anderson AFB on Guam. He also has the pioneer HPM-1500 loudspeakers that were made at the same time, along with a set of JBL L-150s. The SX-1980 is an engineering masterpiece, and also beautiful to look at. I have never heard audio equipment crank as loud and clean as the setup my brother has.

WOW ! If he ever has any problem with it send him to the AudioKarma website. There are a couple of guys over there on the Pioneer forum who know those inside and out as well as other models. I wouldn't take it to the local Joe's electronics and barbecue for anything.

He has had to have a couple of issues resolved with it, but nothing major. I would love to know what a receiver with the specs and build quality of the 1980 would cost today.

I have read some speculation about that. The whole package with detail in wood and metal. I doubt it will ever happen again.

To think I actually tossed an old SX1280.
Old Onkyo's were the shat!!
Would like to find a pair of JBL 4311's

And all the worthless tube equipment and tubes that were tossed................

I do still have a pair of Mac 2105's though.

Jeez Scoot. I had Bob Carvers Phase Linear 700B feeding into 4311s.

PX in Germany. Wonderful sound.

Couldn't afford the Macs.

The Dead used all tube amps.

The physics department at a place I used to work at threw out all of their old tube Heath stuff. I kept most of the tubes for myself, but I put 6 used Mullard tubes on eBay and they sold for $250.

I used to bridge the output to the Phase Linear 700B to make it Mono so I could arc weld with it........1400watts. ;-))

Not quite a 1280, but I bought a SX-1010 for $20 , spent another $15 rebuilding the power supply board and replacing the protection circuit driver and it sounds wonderful.

I listen to it working on chainsaws so it is on topic.:msp_biggrin:
