What has 3 rings & 6 tubes?

I came across 2 vintage sales brochures that might be of interest to some of you (along with a few new watch pics since I had the camera out anyway)

For you fans of high horology (take note of the suggested retail prices)

And for you fans of high fidelity (take note of the suggested retail price)

WOW!!! for $203 i'll take 20 of them! And is that a 1680 for $195? What year is this from? And btw very nice watch and preamp!

UB7 -- Early 1970s, a 1680 & that $203 price was usually discounted further by ADs because they were unable to move Daytonas any other way back then. Amazing but true.

I thought there might be 1 or 2 other serious hi-fi nuts around here. There is also a matching Model 10 tuner & I used to run them into Marantz 8s or 9s (mono tube amps), but sold them to help fund a business years ago.

The guy I got the equipment from (25 years ago) still had all of the original sales paperwork & sales brochures he picked up during his pre-purchase shopping trips. I even got the unused warrantee card that came with the 7. Unfortunately, he had had a custom cabinet built to store most of the equipment in, otherwise he probably would have kept the boxes as well.

A few Vintage receivers and components in my rack.
