Now we have the old timers thinking back!! I suppose some of the younger readers will wonder if our minds are wandering too far from reality, but if they're lucky, they too will have glorious memories to share one day. The Danelectro reverb unit had one tube and was very noisy, but it also had spring metal feet and wasn't as prone to accidental noise as was the Fender Twin Reverb amp my brother and I bought. Now, that unit would "boinggggg" your eardrums numb, and it still sits in my brother's basement. When the reverb part went out, we had to rewire around the unit just to be able to use the amp. That's back when amps actually came with schematics! I also bought a six string, short neck, bass guitar that I can't remember the brand name of, but someone else liked it more than I did and took it home with them. Haven't seen one since 1963. However, I still have the Kustom bass amp that loves to gather dust and is probably worth more than I would want to pay today. I would be willing to trade it for a kn7k, though! Still, it is worthwhile to pass some of these useless items on to budding musicians and watch them enjoy some of the "things" that enriched our lives at one time, and it also gives them some insight into how things used to be - before computerized components. Lindoz, I took my Mosrite guitar in for switch repairs and the fellow that owned the shop traded me a brand new Rickenbocker 610MG for it. The fast action neck on the Mosrite was so thin it was subject to serious warping and was hard to keep in tune, but it was fun to play! The thing weighed a ton, too. Once in a while I take the Ric out to look at it and sigh.
