ANALOG IS STILL KING!
Metallurgy from the 1950's & 60's is long gone.
Modern wire,resistors,capacitors,tubes & other metal based components are cheaply made and have poor construction and chemical properties that have very little to nothing in common with components made in the 1950's & 60's
Bubble Wrapped & Double Boxed for safe secure delivery!
