   Hi Trish – I’m a big 8-track kinda guy and I think this Quad system will
   look good in my game room. I got two other Quad 8-track system, but the
   size of this one and also the matched speakers should work well for me.
   Thanks for your comment and watching my video — Atco

   Nice finds, Atco. Very interesting how you take that old equipment that
   doesn’t work and make it operational again. I always enjoy your videos.
   Thanks for sharing them with us.

   Hi Stereo – Vinyl is in right now, and for good reasons… great music!
   But, most music can be found on cassette too, and you can still get some
   real hi-end equipment cheap. Is there good music today? Yeah, but in my
   view not enough variety. The creativeness of the late 60s – 90 has kinda
   been lost. That’s why so many younger collectors are grabbing the older
   music. But finding good vinyl equipment is getting tough. I think cassettes
   will get more popular each year. See ya — Atco

   Hi Atco. You got some real bargains on those 8 track players. Jose
   Feliciano sounds great on them. I always pick up blank cassette tapes
   whenever I come across them. The reel to reel tapes were a nice find too.
   Sounds like you had fun :). What Is Ginny’s Booooo Bash? Thanks for
   sharing—Colin

   Hi Colin – I tell my younger subscribers to go into cassette players and
   tapes if they don’t have the vinyl equipment. Everything cassette is still
   cheap, but before too long that will change. What has started to slow down
   is finding blank cassette tapes. So, you’re right to grab them when you see
   them. Prices are going to start going up soon for the collectors. Ginny
   Bash? I saw the t-shirt in the summer and had to grab it to have it for
   next Halloween! See ya — Atco

   Some pretty nice catches Atco. Chris & I weren’t as lucky last
   weekend….kinda slim pickins’! However, the Mansfield Outdoor Flea Market
   will run right up until Thanksgiving. Still a few more chances for some
   good stuff!

    Yeah, I always try to make it to the last hamfest of the year. So many
    people don’t want to keep their stuff for another year, so you get the best
    deals. See ya — Atco

    Hi Henry – Yeah, you get used to seeing people in one style. Most of my
    adult life I had a mustache. When I shaved it off around 2005, people
    didn’t know who I was at first glance. Now the mustache might hang around
    again for awhile, who knows! See ya — Atco
