Holy Batman Robin we still have some of those kicking around at work!

Many moons ago I bought a fancy Luxman amplifier that did not have a phono stage (CD's were the rage and vinyl was dead dontchano) so I bought a cheap Kenwood preamp to spin my disks... daddyo...

Still have my high end Sony cassette player/recorder , need to put that up on eBay.
