I wouldn't mind having an SP-172. Sounds nice.

Hi Paul and everyone,
I have that price list too. What is really amazing is how prices escalated in the next couple years:
on the '73 sheet:
VMS-70 $33,750
SAL-74 $17,775 (not including head)
SX-74 $6500
on the '75 sheet:
VMS-70 $47,388
SAL -74 $24,240
SX-74 $8160
Everything pretty much doubled from 1972! Pretty ridiculous increases if you ask me! I just checked the US Dollar vs. Deutsche Mark for those years, and the Mark changed from 3 to 2.6 to 1, no where near 2:1. Could it just have been Herr Temmer's (Gotham Audio) greed????
Best,
Kev

BTW Does anyone have a Gotham price sheet from 1968 or 69? I seem to recall the SX-68 was about $2500 when introduced, and I think the VMS-66 was about $18,000. That's just my recollection. I would like to have a copy of one of those year's sheets for my archive, as my VMS was built in '68.
