ill say one thing, they dont make them like they used to.
Back in those days, they had some interesting designes i wish they still had today.
Now, they are just plain looking japanese jucnk.
in todays circuitry, one little component can cause a complete expensive catastrophe.
tubes, i bet my set with the strong tubes i have in there now, and the caps that are rated lifetime, I bet that set will last another 50 years.
try to get that kinda time out of solid state garbage of today.
it already lasted 50 years, lets last another round of 50 years.
And my silvertone, it is unrestored and it still works! take that and shove it up japan's ass. LOL
my 2 cents
