Actually, those receivers came with a phono input, so maybe some of them, 
at least, were used for listening to a symphony. :-)

What was that very rare Hammurlund in the wooden cabinet? The SP-155, 
or something?

Maybe Hammarlund just figured that once that 14 watt audio stage was in 
their receivers, they might as well leave it there.
