What an amazing post you just made! The pics are thrilling to browse through. How did you run across this?
I certainly hope a QQ member visits this sale! And reports back!
Was posted in /r/BudgetAudiophile on Reddit.
Yes, absolutely we need a QQ presence there if possible!
Didn't he invent a decoder? I recall the name Fosgate in Quad discussions.
I'd love to look through that vinyl collection! Some cool decor, too.

Are you being silly, maybe? His contribution to surround sound is legendary. You should do a show about it.,
Not being silly in the slightest. One man's legend is another's hint of a rumor, perhaps?
Per Wikipedia:
After his departure from Rockford Fosgate in 1981, Fosgate remained active in the audio world, running Fosgate Laboratories and leading the team that created Dolby Pro Logic II.[1][2][3][4][5] Fosgate was also the developer of one of the finest quadraphonic decoders, the TATE II 101A (see Stereo Quadraphonic for details), in collaboration with Peter Scheiber and Martin Willcocks, which was superseded by his 3601 decoder.

There might be some rare Quads or test pressings in the collection. It would be worth a look to see what’s there.
That was my thought! I'd be looking for hand-labeled boxes of tapes... might be an unreleased quad mix in that house.
Someone better get with it though, if the Estate sale is tomorrow. Unless one can do it online.
I'm in Ohio, you SF bay guys might be the closest.
I’m 745 miles away according to Google. By car the drive is about 12 hours without stopping. Where are my car keys?
Seriously, though, maybe a local member might be able to check it out.

I did not see that wooden cabinet all vacuum tube PLII decoder. I also did not see the Forgotten Fosgate FAP-T1:
I see 2 interesting quad components on the shelves.
One is a Harmon Kardon Quad Receiver....you can see the joystick.
The other might be a CBS 100 Decoder....maybe? It looks like one.
Now I'm sure there are others as those pictures don't tell the whole story.
Lot's of disc's, cd and a large record library. Must be some unreleased SQ encodes I'd bet.

Agree!
I'm almost willing to drive the 22 hours round trip for this baby alone...fantastic!!
It wasn't long ago I did 12 hours round trip for a pair of speakers....
