5) Assembly Lines 

Next, we have the assembly lines where all the parts are assembled together into actual products.   What you see below is 1 row of the assembly lines.  There must be at least 15-20 rows which I lost count of.    Everything is hand assembled.

The famous blue meters, waiting to be assembled.

  These look like the MC402s to me.   

               And above, we have the MC2102.                                                      

               Gorgeous !   A thing of beauty.

Again, we have more MC2102s, and the legendary MC275………… 

I thought I was a Mac lover…….    We learned from Ron-C that a gentleman bought   24 MC2102 tube amplifiers with consecutive serial numbers.   He probably needs a personal nuclear power plant to power 24 of them up all at once. 

A picture is worth a thousand words…...

 And, this is the photo which I have modified into the Stereopal.com front page logo.

Pretty cool eh.

I wonder why they have bags of cocaine on top of these 2102 units.   May be the factory is ran by Columbians.
