Most Stihl products sold in the US are made in Virginia Beach. The higher end commercial products are made in Germany. You can bet that a job with Stihl USA is a highly coveted position.

Hate to break it to you, but the Marantz stuff was probably made in Japan (Superscope). By the 70's, I think all of it was -- though some was still designed here.
BTW, your house sounds pretty cool! Ours is an "oldie but goodie" too -- built like the proverbial brick *****house.

I don't think most VS stuff has been "Made in US" for quite sometime.

It would be interesting to be able to do a side by side listening comparison with a fully restored Marantz tube Amp vs something like a new McIntosh MC252 or something similar. Or even a pair of new MC75 tube monoblocks.

I've listened to the MC275 reissue; very impressive. Wish I could afford one! I'd settle for a nice MC225, though; my speakers are plenty efficient for one.

Good call. if we get to go into the garage, I've got a Dixon mower, a Cub Cadet tractor with snow blade, lotsa Craftsman tools, a Raleigh USA road bike, a Specialized road bike, and a nice old oak desk that I use as a work bench, among other things. Oh, how 'bout a 7-foot toboggan?
