Reproduction Hardware? - -------------------- Not that I know of. You can't miss it. It had two vernier dials, one for FM and the other AM. That's it. Only the minimum knobs needed to adjust the other parameters. No illuminated stuff. I don't think KLH even published the specs in the manual. But it had that characteristic KLH sound, no matter which speakers you used. KLH only produces speakers now. Their KLH 21 radio is still in its own class. The original was a dedicated FM model. Prior to the transistor model I have they made a tube 21 which was also excellent. I figure most are still in use. That's what bothers me about today's products. They're ephemeral. Only Leicas are spoken of as current though they may have been made 40 or more years ago. People talk about the Visoflex or the BOOMU CU stand as though it were new in the stores now. The Hermes 3000 typewriter seems to have an infinite life. Sears still supplied parts for Ford Model T's until recently. Maybe they still do. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
