Hi Hobo

Just seen your post, I've been ill, anyway I think you are having me on. A Sony Hi-Fi system for a few pounds, no way.

You see, over the past few weeks, before I got ill, I checked ebay and various other web-sites checking out hi-fi prices. And to tell you the truth, I could not now afford the hi-fi system I owned in my early twenties. Hi-Fi prices are 10 times more than the prices I paid in the 70's.

My system was as follows:

Ortofons VMS Cartridge
Thorens TD160Mk2 (without tone arm)
SME 3009 Mk2 Tone arm with dampening fluid
Sony PreAmp
Rotel Amplifier
Rotel Tuner (FM/MW Stereo radio with amplification)
Goodman Stereo Speakers (Tweeter, Midrange and Bass Unit per speaker)
Sony stereo cassette recorder/player that could use three or four types of recording tape.
a) Ferric (ordinary tape).
b) Chrome - for recording high frequencies.
c) Ferri-Chrome - for recording both high and low frequencies.
d) TDK's Super Avlyn - Used on the Chrome setting and was a good balance between Chrome and Ferri-Chrome.

but along came marriage and children, then children become curious toddlers, curious toddlers that wrecked daddy's hi-fi when he was at work.

And that was that.

PS. This is a light hearted post in which I can't get the smilies to work. This could be down to the latest MS security updates I just installed.
