when i was in my first year of college in 1969 i bought an AR turntable, Sherwood receiver and KLH speakers from Len Tweten of Magnolia HiFi when it was in a house in the Magnolia neighborhood (where it got it’s name) of Seattle.
i did buy a used Wollensak stereo tape deck from a newspaper ad (remember those?) 2 years prior when i was in High School.
