I do! It made sense for school PA systems, etc., but not for much else. Once I understood why they used it, I was just glad they didn't go for 250V or something!Bogen, Bozak, Urei…..remember all that 70 Volt system crap?……

Were I headed to Germany, I'd consider not returning to the U.S., I love it there so much. The people, the food, the countryside
I could happily live most places in Europe.
Pink Floyd played Pompeii centuries after it was buried. Try not to be playing (or there, period) when another city gets buried.
Florida Man take:
That would have been really exciting on the train ride to the top.
I used to install 70V systems. The old stuff that was just meant for paging was dreadful when you played music through it. The newer gear for distributed audio actually sounds good.Bogen, Bozak, Urei…..remember all that 70 Volt system crap?……
Yep. Like telephones, very bandwidth limited (in this case, I think mainly by transformers and cheap speakers). And not really meant to be that loud.
well, it was based on telephony, from the 600Ohm (actually 500 in phones) ref Z to the 3kc BW....YIKES...
..Texans knock FL....Californians TX...funny stuff....
hmmm.....remembering those years and kids..dunno..
The first pic sure puts humanity into perspective. We are tiny, tiny dots on a big blue planet. (Actually not as big as others, but I prefer not to live on the others.)

You got to watch that happen? Amazing. Oh, I just saw that you left. Pele was pissed. Or Vulcan. Or Hephaestus. Or the great Prince of Darkness, Lucas, who has infested the earth now and caused the magic smoke to escape.

And Ohioans knock West Virginia.
We used to install 30 watt 70v horns in industrial environments. Loud and nasty!
Lucas Electric parts failing again?
Everyone knows about Florida Man. Besides, Texans would be storming the volcano with weapons blazing.

Do Lucas parts ever not fail? I have had enough British machinery to expect the worst, and I'm never disappointed.
