I once saw a website that said that about 2% of the total production

of
tube gear made in the US or UK has survived. The site was devoted to
prewar TVs from both US and UK and it noted that only a couple hundred
prewar TVs from either country are known to exist today, and that

given
total production (I don't remember exact numbers) that those numbers

are
about 2% of total production, just like the formula says.


What ever the total figure is, I'm sure it's mostly made up of low end
products. The high end stuff like SX-88s are far more likely to be kept
around.

It went on to
say that an undiscovered prewar TV would be of comparable rarity to an
undiscovered original Stradivarius (sp?) violin. I would suspect that
the same is true of the SX88.


Stradivarius should have come to Chicago and talked with Bill Halligan.
Bill's factory at Fifth and Kostner would have turned out millions of
beginner violins, concert quality violins, mil-spec cellos, anything
people would pay for.

I would suspect most of the SX-88 owners don't want themselves or their
radios on the lists.
