Whatever Happened To SAE?

I remember in the seventies walking into a Cal Stereo store in the LA area and seeing the SAE equipment. I was a college student back then and owned a reciever. The SAE stuff with it's black metal and white graphics looked sooo imposing and impressive. Amp, preamp, tuner and EQ all in one stack....man, if I could ever own something like that one day! By the time I could afford decent equipment, SAE has been long gone.

Was their stuff any good?

What happened to them?

I don't know what happended to SAE, but the fellow who owned it was Morris Kessler. Very nice guy. I met him when I visited Arnie Nudell and John Ulick at Infinity Systems in Canoga Park, Ca back in 1970 or 71. I was in the army at the time and I used to sell stereo gear out of my house on the side. I carried Infinity, SAE, Klispch among others. Oh, those were the days.

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd share this link with you of a collector who has some interesting SAE gear.

This stuff used to be the bomb!

I used to covet SAE stuff but could not afford it and had limited space. By the time I could perhaps, SAE had gone its way.

Still way cool looking stuff!
