Excellent! Thanks so much! I was in Frankfurt 82-84. Looking back, I didn't see any Carver stereo stuff in the PX. I saw Marantz, Fisher etc....bought a Fisher Studio Standard system and it fell apart within a few years. Gosh, I loved Germany, and had a few friends in Bamberg. My MOS was 73C (Finance Specialist) and I was with 18th Finance Co. in Frankfurt right behind the V Corps building. I can still taste those fine German hops and barley with a schnitzel and applecorn chaser! Guten Ahbend!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Looking fwd to a great experience here.

Thank you! I'd do it all again...I loved serving. USA! USA!

Thanks so much for the reply! It was a great day for sure...I wonder if the trash guys would have recognized what was there if I wasn't. Chances are, it would have been in the back of a truck among heaps of rubbish.

Thanks so much for the reply! Yes, it was a great day and PERFECT timing seeing the woman toting that amp....she was struggling a bit because of the weight, but I gladly snapped it up.

I have other pics, but need to trim them down to post. The amp had a few blown power supply cans. I'll post those pics soon! Man, they were swollen, but didn't leak thank God.

Thank you! I'd do it all over again...USA! I have a great 'old school' story to tell you guys. I was driving down the street in Jefferson, Ohio and it was a residential area so very slow speed. I saw a lady walking from her house on the lawn, and she was toting an amplifier! She was heading straight for the curb where there was trash...I stopped the car and asked her what she had there. She was struggling with the weight of the amp, so I knew it was something good. It was a Sansui AU- 7700 in beautiful condition. I said "Are you junking this"? She said "Yes, it doesn't work". I promptly and carefully took the amp from her arms..."Can I have this"??? SURE! take it. I loaded it in my car and she went back in. Just as I was driving away, she came out yelling, "Hey, I have this too'! It was the original laminated set-up sheet in perfect condition! WOW! a complete treasure! I'll post some pics here soon...the ones I have are too large...can't post them.

Thanks so much!

Hey Carver Community! Drew here...new here just breakin' some ice and lookin' forward to a 'cool' experience with you all. I'm a retired U.S. Army Staff Sergeant with a passion for 'old school' stereo goodies esp Carver! I have a Carver TFM-22 rack system and I love it!
