I am a pack rat. I also still own a Zenith Royal 3000 Trans-Oceanic radio I bought in 1963 in high school and a Dual 1019 turntable from 1967. I'm not a watchmaker but like to dig into radios and audio gear. It's ironic that the Zenith cost $200, the Dual $130 and the Rolex also $130 from the same relative time period. They all took a lot of saving and part time work.
