That's a rare beast. Canadian WB Machine Head. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Jon! It's a bright, sonic and clean play.
Time to pass the torch!

So the chance of me sneaking in to pick it up cheap to see if it's better than the one I have is kinda slim from what jon is saying? I'll be watching with bated breath!

Hi Ken. Yeah, I figure just let the market decide.
At least you already have one, is that right? Same cart?

 

[66Grandeguy]

Yeah I've got the same exact one (Canadian Q8) but I've been playing mine since the 70's (with a bit of a layoff when i had stashed all my Q8's on the truck of my 53 Chevy for about 20 years.) If I remember right i had to unwind the whole thing at least once and do a major salvage job so the sound quality may not be as good as yours.
However i had a few younger folks over for a fish fry about 2 months ago and I played Lazy nice and loud and boy did it turn them(and me) on! As one of the young ladies said' I've never heard musc like this!"

So I may try to hoard another one (yours) but I have a feeling it'll go high!

Well, it sold for a little less than I thought but it's okay. The buyer is a nice fella and an avid collector.

Too bad. i gave it a shot but I wasn't paying attention at the end or I might have bid it up even more. Hope he loves it like I do!

Well thanks, you were a nice seller too lol.... I'm listening to the tape now as a matter of fact. I thought I may have to pay more so it's good you overslept 66Grandeguy... I got into quad back in the early 70s, I tried the newer stuff (5.1; 6.1; 7.1) but went back, I just like the analog sound better I guess.
