**I can assure you that they most certainly did. Perhaps not quite as
low end as those Sansui atrocities, but models that were significantly
less costly to make than their good models. As an authorised service
agent for the importer, since 1980, I've seen them all, though Interdyn
no longer import Luxman.



** Did you deal with Gordon Hoskins at any stage?



**Of course. I even did work for him for a few years. To his credit,
bills were always paid by the due date. I mostly dealt with Dianne down
there at Arncliff, I never bought Luxman spares from him.


** Think I dealt with her over the phone once, to get some Luxman amp BJTs.

She was polite, efficient and I got the *correct* parts in the mail the next day. So I rang her back to say how pleased I was.

I remember her being astonished that anyone bothered to do such a thing.




Despite the store stocking various Interdyn items, he refused to supply any spares or info on Luxman etc.



**That's because he is a massive dickhead.



** ROTFL !!


Certainly be 1980 (and
probably a long time prior) Interdyn were the importers for Luxman.
Hoskins was their Sydney agent and pretty much sole retailer for a long
time.


** After taking on Alpage and Celestion plus opening the "Quality Hi-Fi" store in York Street, he didn't get any better.

Gordon must have been a sleazy used-car salesman in a previous life....
