[Dixielandjazz] Stereo in the Good Old Days

[Don]

I'm still using the "Hi Fi" speaker I built from a kit in 1957.  It has 
a 15" University coaxial speaker, and is one of my few wood projects 
that came out looking halfway decent.  Of course in 1957 I only needed 
one.  Many years later my Dad found a matching speaker someone threw 
away in the alley behind his house.  It, mounted in a different, 
commercial cabinet is now my other channel in my main sound system that 
has grown like topsy.  At various times it had Heathkit gear as well.  
Now I listen mostly to music either in the car, or on the computer with 
headphones while doing other things.
