[R-390] spiralining values

[bernie nicholson]

 Regarding the upward value of tube era gear I think that it will probably survive until the end of analog radio   ,Digital broadcasting is about to take off , and in Australia they are turning off anolog TV in a couple of years time, to use existing equipment one will need a set top box  if you haven't bought a digital TV , but with radio , I don't think that anyone will contemplate the manufacture of  set top boxes , Digital radios in mass production will be cheap , and our beautiful 390 RX s will become static exhibits , GREAT BIG BEHEMOTHS , when switched on to demonstrate you will still be able to hear static and  tube shot noise and the occasional digital gurgle BUT WILL ANYONE BOTHER ?   I don't think so there will be some  relegated to museums BUT THE REMAINING  60 000 or so I doubt that you will be able to give them away   , I hope you all don't think that my vision of the future is too severe but I feel pretty confidant that THIS is reality and it will happen  within the next 10 years , I HOPE I AM WRONG , Regards to all   Bernie Nicholson
