I saw that plate and it rang a bell. Here's mine. It's not MJX but it's close. Original 1964 Cali plate on my one-owner 64 Polara vert. Now I just need a picanic basket!

After buying that reel-to-reel I showed earlier, my next acquisition was this receiver in 1976 - a Sansui 9090. The 1970s power wars were just starting to heat up, this one was modest by later standards with 110 watts per channel. It was also the first receiver on the market to have power meters. Another $650 from a wholesale place. They go for $2500-3000 these days.

I just replaced my Emotiva stuff with a new Onkyo.... really love the thing.. especially for the money...
I do have a few pics of it. My Dad filled in the pond that was used to refill steam engines and I have developed the lot into a two unit rental property.
But the area where they would load rail cars is still open. There was a large gantry crane/gin pole anchored in the ground by large cement blocks. The blocks
are still there. I tried to push over one block with a Case 1150 dozer and the block wouldn't budge.
About 25 years ago the railroad came in and remove all of the rails from the spur that was in front of the depot. Rail spikes and tie plates still float up every once in a while. It's
funny how they find their way to the top of the ground. I usually find them with the lawnmower blades !!
The Depot House was torn down when I was about 10. The guy who tore it down did it with a crowbar, hammer and an old Ford car with the trunk lid removed so he
use it like a truck.
The Section House where railroad workers would stay sometimes was sold by my Dad and now it about 3 miles from it's original location. It was moved with a team of 8 mules.
I would like to have seen that.
The pic shows the gin poles that I mentioned in my last post. It is the only pic that I have on my phone.
The other pic is kids in a rail car that was taken across the highway from the Depot.
Mr. Walter is still alive and lives on Swamp Road.
The Depot was called "Boullion Switch" I have part of the original sign that was hand painted on a cypress plank

The new equipment certainly has a lot of channels and video processing, I've had an ONKYO and it was quite nice. I need turntable inputs though. One thing I liked about my old Sansui was the look; brushed stainless with real walnut casing. That, and it weighed 51 pounds.

Power supplies have come a long way.That, and it weighed 51 pounds.
My Class D amplified, powered PA subwoofers - single 18" driver, 3/4" hardwood plywood enclosure, amp, wiring, grille, all of it - weigh in at 93 lbs. 3,000 watts each.
It comes with money?
