My stereo sound system has been on the fritz for quite some time. The Receiver shuts down after a few minutes play time. Paddy's Pal Chris told me it was a "grounding" problem. He comes over last night, lays prone on the floor at the back of my system & repairs the thing!!! Since he was here I asked him if he could hook up my Saigon Speakers (bought in 1968). They Blew the Room Away!!! They sounded tremendous...so I told the young ones how they came to be in Lancaster in 2012. I won about $700 in an impromptu one-on-one basketball challenge in Long Bien that lasted 3 nights on a dirt court. It was a "I got the winner" type challenge. Had to pay to enter...loose & you can just watch. After paying off my backers I ended up with some cash, was in Saigon & bought the speakers & a Seiko watch for my younger Bro who had just graduated High School...Last night one of Paddy's friends commented that my speakers were older than his Dad...Cracked me up...

I still have the Seiko that the Psycho bought me in 1968.
Pea you tell some great stories..I always enjoy them.
great story Pea. I think you should contact the manufacturer of those speakers and share the story, telling them they're still sounding great (to a guy with two hearing aids).
Btw, i really like the fleece/sweatshirt you're wearing - from Martin guitar. Gotta get me one of those.
