I have had mine since 1982. Right now it is not hooked up, but plan on firing her up real soon. I did take it for repair once in 1996. Crackly sound was coming out. Was repaired and have loved it as I have for 43 years. Many good memories with it. Thank you all for posting. I live in the Vancouver area, IF I need to take it in for repair, any suggestions would be wonderful .
