Digging for old gold

摘要

I've always liked experimenting with and repairing electronics and my hi-fi story starts with old equipment found at jumble sales and donated by my parents' friends and colleagues. The first proper unit to come my way was a late '60s Philips EL 33 12 stereo cassette deck with built in amplifier. Actually it was the first stereo cassette machine to be produced, but alas I didn't know that at the time. I remember how good it sounded playing a new copy of Now That's What I Call Music 5 -which shows how long ago that was! By then I was already hooked.
