Tim from GA
Hey everyone, Tim from South Georgia here.
I'm a music and audio fan in general. I love live music, especially in a small setting. I got into car audio as a young teen in the late 70's and worked as an installer through my mid-20's, so I lived in stereo shops in my young life. Other passions are cars and rocketry. I'm a Licensed Dispensing Optician and manage an optometry practice in real life.
I was on VintageHiFi.net as username "Alfista" (an Alfa Romeo reference) for a while before it shut down.
I have a good bit of vintage audio odds and ends, and I have 2 consoles. Both purchased from the original owners:
1962 Magnavox Stereo Theater 4ST357MR 1947 Magnavox Regency Symphony

Re: Tim from GA
Welcome aboard!! I remember you from the older forums. Good to hear from you again. We hope you enjoy the forums. I have a 1962 Stereo Theater, 2MV418 that currently suffers from a busted TV chassis. Thanks for sharing your consoles.....

Re: Tim from GA
While many of us here have different interests, old audio and cars seem to be central ones. I'm just getting my 1951 Maggie "back on the road."

Thanks, and I remember you all.
Your usernames told me that I was in the right place. But I did a double take thinking it might be an archived version of the other sight.

Re: Tim from GA
I was a moderator on the Vintage forum. When it started having issues, I started this forum in 2021 with the intention of keeping the core group together.
