Much was new back in the 60's and 70's, and was "inherited" or was stuff I had back then. The GPT-750 I purchased in 1973, for $350.00. Not a bad value per pound. But $300-400 for an AC-1? I don't think so. Heck, I got a Heath AT-1 just a couple years ago for $75.00. Oh yes, and a Davco DR30 receiver for the same price. It just takes careful shopping, and not depending on eBay. -- _ _ _ _ _ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ John L.
