Default When did Kenwoods etc become "boatanchors"?

............. Those early "rice boxes" have a lot in common
with the "true boat anchors".


I rebuilt a K'wood 520 for Gary KM6A. It had tubes (6146)so it is BA for
me...perhaps the end of BA but BA just the same. Crap sakes! If you look
the other way, as in back, before tubes there were crystal sets...proto
solid state....so our beloved tube sets were perhaps a short lived
transitional stage....~8^* OOOOH but I like them anyway.
