Barry Atwater, the actor who played the vampire, 'Janos Skorzeny', in "The Night Stalker", was my main mentor into the hobby of audio starting back in 1974. When he died, I was charged with handling the audio equipment (McIntosh C22, MR67, MC225, MC60, Thorens TD124/SME3009II, Janszen 130 tweeters, double AR-1W woofers, etc.) and vinyl collection in his estate.

Get outta here! That's awesome. I've always felt that Mr. Atwater portrayed the creepiest, most primal, most convincing vampire ever.
An audiophile to boot? Too cool.Rich H.
I mean, have you ever been to those big record conventions and ham radio swap meets? Just look at (and smell) some of the people. Geez, a bath and mouthwash once in awhile wouldn't kill you guys! ("Ahhh, the Children of the Night...what sweet music they make!")Seriously, Barry would have been pleased by your compliment. By the early '70's, he had very few TV and movie acting jobs and made his living teaching TV/film sound production at UCLA. Although he didn't utter a single word of dialog in "The Night Stalker", he was awarded 1972's "Outstanding Portrayal of a Vampire" by the Count Dracula Society. My sister still has his red and black cape that he wore for the awards banquet.
