Roy, 	

No, I did not find them a new home. Which really does not break my heart, as I
love them.	

The H.H. Scott LK-48b stereo amplifier and matching LT-110 FM stereo tuner are
both completely rebuilt, look like new and play as good as if they really were. 
Both are in home built wood cabinets and have front panels that are perfect.
Even all original knobs! 	

i am still using the LK-72b stereo amplifier and matching LK-110 FM stereo
tuner. (Yes, I have two LT-110) They stay! I have the Dual 710 turntable wired
in, a Yamaha CD player and Teac A-5500 tape deck. I am using a modern solid
state Marantz PMA-7000 integrated stereo amplifier with a true 95 watts
continuous RMS per channel to drive the pair of JVC six-way cabinets I am using
off the center channel of the LK-72b. I am running it mono, of course. I have
split it so that each speaker has its own channel, as in using one off the 'A'
speaker connections and the other off the 'B' speaker connections. The cabinets
contain two 12 inch, one 5 inch and three tweeters, so they do like the power.
Talk about sound! Wow!   	

Once I have the volume level set on the Marantz where I want it, the LK-72b
takes over and controls the input levels.	

Where is the Revox B77? It is on the other end of the room with the more modern
equipment. The 'more modern' system ranges in component age from 1972-2003!	

Just to keep the grandson happy, my Sony TA1144 stereo amplifier from 1970 is
driving the audio for the Sony Play Station #2 and a pair of AR-4's, along with
four other cabinets. There is even a self-powered sub woofer under his bed! When
he gets a racing game going it sounds like the car just drove down the hall.
Sometimes I think I can smell high octane fuel and burning rubber! Then I am
reminded it is probably just fumes from what the grandson ate and not a high
performance car after all!

Just finished two Boots Randolph vinyl albums; Dedications and Country Boots,
onto a single CD.

Duane,

Yes, just listen to the music..  It turns out that there is benefit if you 
have a moderately good match, but the variations are way more than people 
expect.

Did you sell that Scott tuner and amplifier? I use the Scott tuner here 
each day to wake up to.. it still runs well.

Roy
