Hi Tom, I've still been going through these, and found an article on A&R (wo)men that includes a photo of you mother (pg. 48) http://vintagevacuumaudio.com/vintage-magazines/high-fidelity/1958-1-high-fidelity.pdf with text starting on pg. 122. Not monumental, but hopefully fun for you to see in context. Regards, Rob On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 7:08 PM, Tom Fine <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Thanks for the great link, Rob.
