    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    came across a video of a McIntosh 4100 under repair and it looked delightfully "old skool" inside and out-nice big transformer and filter caps and transistor heat sinks,could not count how many output transistors there was. I think the subject 4100 was from 1983.

    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    The Bose i am most familiar with besides the 901,is the Delco-Bose stereos in certain GM cars starting in 1983: special low level output head unit outputting to amplified speaker modules-the amp in these modules especially prone to bad capacitors, probably too much heat buildup in that plastic...

    Bose buys McIntosh (audio equipment)

    I thought bose had degraded to a "BPC" brand some time ago... but this notion could be wrong? Last i knew, McIntosh was still at least assembled in USA and premium stuff worthy of analog source.I almost bought a McIntosh receiver about 1992 at a stereo store table sale: noticed the transformer...

    Advice on Chevy Celebrity Eurosport

    I think the fan with 5 straight blades is larger diameter and larger motor-i think i have only seen this fan on '85-later 2.8 . The 7 curved blades style i have seen on 2.5 and 2.8. The 4.3 diesel (82-85) had a big 16.5" 7 straight blades with a very big motor-about the most powerful electric...

    Old Wringer Washer Identification

    I looked at '30s-40s SQs and they were way different. Looked over a bunch of pics of other wringers and only one was kind of similar but had no info-someone had cut part of the skirt out to clobber in a B&S gas engine...
