Yes, that's probably the late 1940's or early 1950's at the latest; it was the Sinclair Opaline® name that reminded me of the 1960's for some reason.

Interesting the different perspectives that are conjured by the same image.  I was struck by the "now made of plastic" claim and thought: great, another product made from oil.

Ah, the good ol' pre-Stonewall days when the "gay agenda" merely involved recruiting children through secondary advertising. Now those same children want to legalize gay marriage. And to think some people say there isn't a gay-liberal plot to take over America! Oh, and we understand what "won't...get droopy" means.

Notice the cuffs on the trousers E and F.  These were designed to catch your platform shoes in them;  very effective, too. 

Our Calculus teacher was of the Cool Teacher type:  wore an army jacket and sometimes a flowered baseball shirt.  Good ol' baseball shirts.  Who remembers baseball shirts?  Those were the days.   The seventies.   The baby boom generation first cohort had pioneered the way and we of the second cohort picked our way through the rubble.

One day in January our Calc teacher didn't show up, and we were informed that he wouldn't for the rest of the semester.  Some sort of psychological problem or other.   A couple years later he was found dead.  Wow.  Those were the days.

Lovely hi-fi components, though, with discrete components you could actually replace.  Keeps the SX-636 alive.
