Hi ya'll, I'm Hal

[Hal]

I suppose I have been an audiophile since 1967 or so when I went with my grandfather to pick up his new Fisher Console stereo, helped carry it into the house, unbox and set it up, and heard it, and moreso ... watched the various looks on his face as his spun various LP's on it thruout the day and into the night. After pumping gas, clearing tables and dishwashing, and cutting grass... all of my next several jobs were selling hifi audio in the 1970's in the metro Atlanta area. Later I was doing collectible vinyl in Greenville, SC and going to record shows throughout the southeast in the early 1980s. I was the sole proprietor of SOUND SOURCE in GVL,SC from 1985 to 1993 where we sold vinyl, compact discs, etc and hifi, and moved more into just selling midfi and high end audio in 1989. CJ was already sold in the city by a competitor, so the closest brands we sold were VTL and Counterpoint... and Mod Squad, VPI, Ortofon, Vandenhul, Grado, Vandersteen, B&W, Spendor, MIT, Mordaunt Short, Eminent Technology, Klipsch, Denon, Parasound, Hafler, B&K, Magnum Dynalab and others.

I currently own a CJ mv-75a1 amp that I would like to purchase a faceplate/cage for, if anyone has one that they would like to part with.

Welcome to the forum!

Fisher, Scott, Marantz, McIntosh ... , and their Realistic and Lafayette knockoffs ... those were the days.

We were still jonesing for better Reel to Reel tape machines and recording live local bands in ‘67. And don’t forget 8 track.

Hola Hal,

You could ask to service@conradjohnson.com if they still have the faceplate in stock. Your task is very difficult. What happened with the one that the amp has?

You can restore it. Just thinking loud.

Happy listening!
