I was 19 and picked up the following at the PX's BX's in Phu Bai, RVN, and in Udorn, and Ban U'Tapao Thailand from 1972 thru '74.Pioneer QX8000A Quad amp
Avery Fisher XP9c speakers (4)
Akai 7" Reel to Reel (Quad) with eight track (also Quad)
Garrard POS Turntable, BIC Turntable, Shure VType 2s (I think)
TEAC cassette recorder
Sennheiser HD (?)414s
All the Thai stick I wanted, and a Top Secret Security Clearence.I tossed the Akai from the second floor of my bungalo in Udorn after three repairs and replaced it with a TEAC 7" A 4010 reel to reel. Sold the Garrard to somebody and picked up a new AR 1201 TT with V15 type III. I think.
Bought new Pioneer QX 949 Quad and four new ARs.
New TEAC A 6010 10" reel to reel.
JVC quad decoder for TT and the dozen or so quad LPs available.Had a little sansui amp for awhile.
Bought a new Pioneer SX 1010 boat anchor with two huge Klipsch speakers, model numbers unknown.
Shipped the original Quad system home when I thought I was gettin out early. Stayed for yet another year and the Eff'n Army wouldn't let me ship the rest (the newer good stuff) cuz I already used up my alotment. Sold most of it to a Department Store in Bangkok (always keep those original boxes kids) for about ten time what I paid.Late 70s added Micro Seiki DD60 TT with V15Type III.
Early 80s, added children and 18 mo old destroyed DD60 - bummer.
