And don't forget the Magnavox "Star" system with a AA battery in the tuner.....
I think the engineers got carried away & woudnt see the service
headaches. Remember that Sony suffered from arrogance.
As far as 9-160's go we did a ton with bad pc cons
& a few other things, but the beauty of it was you could whip
a new one in in a few minutes for abt $50 net. Done & on
to the next. Those were still busy days except in spring when
we would put more time in them.
