Dear Mom,
I'm happy again to hear from you and know that all is going well.
My connections with the audio industry do not include Zenith- and besides better is available. I enclose brochures on what I can get- apparently I can get about 30% off West cost retail. All 3 of these are the same turntable- a Garrand- and I would suggest getting one with FM multiples radio. Scott may possibly be the easiest to get replaced if needed. I happen to have a KLH in Walnut which I have had for a couple of years, and could send easily since I have the original packing box. It costs somewhere around $300 retail, so you could have it for somewhere around $150. I would have to checked out thoroughly before leaving here. Anyway you can see these if you go to a hi-fi store.
All the children except Linnie are coming over to Honolulu in April. Without any round up this year, I don't know whether I'll make a spring trip to the ranch or to the coast at all.
Glad you met the Rogers- they're pleasant people. [...]
Let me know what you think about the phonograph.
Love
Linus
