A friend of mine and his father owned a local "high end" audio store back in the late 70's thru mid 80's. Unfortunately, his father has recently passed away; however, he leaves behind a stash of Soundcraftsmen equipment--demos, personal collection, some unsold inventory, some junk (?). I remember playing with this stuff back in the 80's and recall that it had a following back then--kind of as the "low end" of "high end" audio at the time. My friend has no interest in this stuff other than LIQUIDATION. Should I open my checkbook and load up the van? Any comments, suggestions, and/or rants welcome! I do know that this company eventually "de-volved" into MTX--much like Pioneer, Kenwood, Fisher, etc. Is the original stuff still worth a listen (or a buck)? I've seen some listings on the net, and the prices/ratings are all over the map...

Yes, you should grab the stuff. :o

Get it on the Cheep, then swap out with Falcon 377 to assist with his downsizing!!! :P :P :P...no, seriously...they made a few quality pieces. CHEAP is the word!!!

Kingman, you are funny. :D :D :D
Soundcrafstmen, did make some good amps, a long time ago.

CHEAP is the word!!! The family wants to sell the house--that means getting it empty. Guess I'll assist with a little road trip this weekend...
BTW--If anyone has any specifics on models/items worth keeping (or worth $$$--not always the same), please post.
THANX!!!

Pick up the goodies and check them out. Rule no. 1: If it is heavy, it is likely good. ;) Post what you get and I am sure we can separate cats from dogs.

Yeah--like I stated in my welcome wagon post, you buy amplification by the pound--even I know that! Besides, every pound counts when you weigh in at the scrap yard too...
I'll work on posting an inventory once I get my hands on the goodies...
THANX
