Default Re: The Amstrad Times.

We had the TS30 tower, came from either Woolworths or Rumbelows, I forget, but it was delivered by van one evening. It wasn't cheap, though alot cheaper than a seperates system, and it gave years of good service and pleasure as our first stereo system, first FM radio and first record player. Before this, cassettes were played on a portable cassette recorder and the only radio was a GEC Transistor Seven. It had a BSR manual turntable, a good cassette system and the IC-based amplifier went loud enough for parties. It also looked good with all that brushed aluminium and smoked glass, very trendy. Bear in mind our TV in the corner was a Philips G8, so this thing was bang up to date.
