I have a Bose table top radio/cd player and it's good for what it is, but nothing like Haul Harvey advertized that it replaces a whole 'wall full' of equipment.

Paul Harvey, Tim... "PAUL" Harvey!


crank it up and it barks like a dog. Well, not really but for the money it's over rated. I lost the tiny little remote control for it and bought another for a whopping $44.00 about 10 years ago. That's the last time it'll happen.



Now speaking of cabinets that could hold a small child, Well back in 'the day' I bought the best I could afford. and shopped for quality used.



I ended up with a Kenwood Kr 7070 receiver and two Ohm F speakers (Walsh drivers). That Kenwood was rated a 350w. and you could NOT over drive the Ohm titanium cones! I thought that wasn't enough, and I couldn't find any more Ohm's so I got a couple of Klipsch "Heresey's" for a quad system. The only other item I had in the system was a Technics cassette deck with 'chrome' and Dolby. I couldn't use a turn table because the system would rattle the tone arm. So, a friend of mine that worked at a radio station would bootleg albums for me. Also my consortium of friends would buy albums, or go to the local library and borrow them and rack them onto tape as well.. I had a good collection of 'stuff' and bought all my equipment of less than half value. Still over a thousand in the late 50's. I just sort of build as I went.
