I like the early stereos specifically Magnavox, So early they did not put a balance knob on them cause they thought they were better at setting the balance than you were. 1958-60 glorious pieces of Americana The Concert grand had 2 50 watt amps and it took 42 tubes at full speed to drive them. A total of 650 watts of electricity to run. Took a year to get one and were the cost of a new chevy. Not as much anymore but still turn up in estate sales as cherished items. Good ones still only go for grand or so. Today you can get them repaired and play digital music through them with remarkable quality of sound. look around your relatives probably have one. Here is one where they overpriced it Hydro https://www.ebay.com/itm/203494773338
