In cold weather, they make really good space heaters for a small room too!

It's a pair of deHavilland KE-50A monoblocks with some KT-88 tubes. They're a modern & improved interpretation of a classic 1952 Fisher 50A. If you're a jazz fan like me, they're fun to listen to all day. My solid state amp option that I can toggle to is the First Watt SIT-3 in the lower right.

I have fond memories of the six volt tube radio in my first car, a 1953 Bel Air. Turn it on and listen to that "hmmmmm" as it warmed up. And then the sound was so rich and "comfortable." Sigh!

They do build character over time and a new reproof job helps even more.

It kind of like a lot of Filson gear or a pair of Russell's. It might cost a bit more in the beginning but you will have it for life.

Last time I sent mine for reproof they trimmed the sleeves and pockets with dark brown leather; it makes the high-wear areas more durable and looks great; recommended to all.

Cans of compressed oxygen for recreation at high altitudes. Initially I thought they were a gimmick.


When my head is pounding and I want to barf, it is really difficult to have a good time. A bit of oxygen and ready to go some more.

John, O2 works wonders unless you run out. This pic is at 23,500 ish if I remember correctly.

Now should we start the thread about products we used to love but no longer live up to their own standard?
