I scraped up every penny I had for three years and finally was able to buy it used in '76 for $425. The first time I tried the cheapest Deluxe was $250 so I saved another six months. But it seemed that whatever the going rate for LPs was, I would end up about $25 short at any given time. Finally a shop manager had pity on me and sold it to me for less than he wanted to. And yep, too many miles and smiles in this one to sell.
