Tracy --

You got me digging through my old photo albums - then trying to figure out how to scan - and import and post and blah blah blah...

Note in this OLD photo - the Phase Linear 4000 sitting there and just underneath it the PL 700... and in the foreground a corner of the old RTR
280's !! LOL -- Oh man, check out the furniture - and the "cool" lamp! :rofl:

BTW -- For you "young uns" -- that Ivory colored thing on the coffee table -- that is a P H O N E as in Ma Bell... Pre Verizon or any of these other new fangled devices. Yes - it was actually hooked into the wall... and you could roam around with it any further than the cable allowed - and it had no "memory". You actually had to remember your friends numbers or you looked things up in the WHITE PAGES or businesses in the YELLOW PAGES...

Note the BOSTON "album" -- they were made out of plastic and played on a turntable... 33 1/3 RPM... Yes I still own it... along with a few zillion other albums... you know -- like "Meet the Beatles".... and the Dave Clark Five... and old Stones.. :rofl:

I lied -- I had a Phase Linear 400.... and it blew speakers left and right. I was going to buy the Phase Linear 700 later -- but ended up with a Marantz instead.. I've had a lot of this kind of stuff over the years -- wish now that I'd have kept them all!

I have a boat load of albums,Some how I have a MEET THE BEATLES first run($$$$).I am only 45 and still remember all that stuff.Still have a set of BOSE 901's.Don't laugh about that telephone in the pic,I keep one around just in case of power outage,Sits in the closet.Did you ever have think some off that old audio stuff would be worth anything today.

The only reason I kept the C26 was because I paid good money for it then -- and when it was "worthless" I couldn't bare to toss something that was such a nice little piece of gear. Of course, after you've kept something like that for so long - you just can't throw it out. I never thought that it might be worth almost as much as I paid for it.

My Meet the Beatles is a "second variation -- with the side one label listing BMI on the first song and the rest are credited to ASCAP...

Rare - but not as rare as yours... Yours is pre-release... with no credits... mine is the second release with the "mistaken" credits... Mine is also MONOPHONIC. I love the labeling which states that "This Monophonic microgroove recording is playable on monophonic and stereo phonographs. IT CANNOT BECOME OBSOLETE. It will continue to be a source of outstanding reproduction..."

Uh..... okay.... right....

Bought mine February 7, 1964

The reason I know that is because I wrote the date on the album jacket. :>)

My dad got mine he was stationed in Europe in the Navy,I put it in a "safe" place.Now you got me thinking of all the old albums I have...Going to have to go thru those now..Lol
