Here it sits in my living room. It sounds amazing but I’m not turning it on too much. View attachment 4203380 View attachment 4203381

Ya, I've heard they sound really great. Yours looks terrific for its age.

Sort of a zombie thread. But it looks like we’ve found another one. I got this one a couple of weeks ago….

Two thoughts come to mind:

1. Your folks are cool!

2. Please do get pics! Would love to see some pics of another survivor. Makes me wonder just how many are out there and not accounted for. Can't be many.

I found some.

Can you please move in next to me so I can come play amps with you?

It might be easier if you you move. Those were only six of the 23 amps* I helped a family member catalog earlier this month, and we only got though the combos.*

This storage unit had some really neat stuff in it, and they are just getting started.

* My apologies for only getting six of the eight Michael-Hulls in the photo.

Holdout!

And get us grill shots too, please. Love that bass clef cutout!

Here's a gif of the eight they have found so far.*

Looks like we lost one of the clefs in the last 78 years.

*I say "so far" because they haven't gone through everything yet.

Nice piece! A couple of questions have popped into my brain. When used with a DB, how many decibels were created? Assuming this was often used with a DB, how much does it weigh?
