| Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles! In the summer of 1967, I bought an Eico build it yourself amplifier kit, similar to the Heathkits being sold. I spent a couple weeks building it, and it didn't sound so good. I was using 12" three way Jensen speakers, with ported cabinets I buil... | |
