Beecham's pills

摘要

Isaac Asimov, the writer of many volumes of both Science Fiction and science fact, was once asked, 'When was the Golden Age of SF?'. His reply was '14'! By which he meant it was whenever someone had been aged 14. For them, that was the 'Golden Age'. This recollection was prompted by my seeing a pair of old Armstrong 730/732 amplifiers sold via the Internet for over £1000, which was more than the price about 40 years ago when new. As suggested by feedback in response to HFN's monthly Vintage Review features, interest in 'classic kit' is growing.
