![]() "tommyknocker" wrote in message ... 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. Frank Dresser |
