There were some names here that I had long forgotten, not the least of which was Sansui. It's sad, but there are lessons here.

Things change, and not always for the better. Sad.

As a side note, I met Mr. Marantz once in Forest Hills, Queens, NY. He was selling his home. It was the late 1980s. Nice guy. Apparently, he was still playing around with electronics. He had a little workshop in his basement.

Here's a 10 minute video from the same creator on Marantz. It was fun to watch.
