Attendance about the same as last year I think. Plenty of interesting vintage radio gear including more early broadcast sets than usual. Saw all the usual suspects and enjoyed talking with friends.
Cheers,

I used to have a pair of these audio amplifiers.

They are interesting in that the output stage has voltage gain and they are pretty tough electrically.
the "Universal Tiger" indestructible 125-Watt Power Amp.
Build instructions are in popular electronics OCT 1970. I believe it was offered as a SWTPC kit.

The pair I had was also used to drive modified deflection coils for some CRT-based art displays in the early 1980s. That would destroy most solid state amps of the day, which was a problem with my art -I was trying to get away from using heavy tube amps but kept blowng the transistor ones.
Wish I could have been there to buy them if the price was right.
