Good morning Gentlemen,
Love seeing pictures of "Platforms" as well as "Control Panels" from the past.
Those were the terms my father utilized....
Attached are some pics of my father's Platforms from the "early days".
First from my mom and dad's apartment when they got married in 56...
Then moved to Jersey in 1960, and enough room for a turntable.
Yes - that's me at the "Control Panel" as a young pup.
I know you'll ask and the answer is no....he sold everything in the early 70's.
I still remember the night some guy named "Artie" came and bought it all.
At some point I'll post my current platform and tell more of the story.
I've since re-collected everything my father had and then some....
Thanks for starting this post Bob, awesome stuff!
Bill
