the video. A YouTube user named tubiephrank0707 offers two commentaries, one of which focuses on the VU meter
readings and the power output involved. The video's original poster replies in agreement with the assessment.

About the EICO Cortina 3150 amplifier -- this was the higher powered brother of the 3070, offering at least 40 watts per channel of
continuous power at 8-ohms (3070 put out 15 watts per channel). The kit version was a steal at $ 149.95, while the wired version
sold for $ 225.00, very competitive against other wired amplifiers close to that price. This included Acoustic Research's classic
AR Amplifier ($ 250.00 - 50 watts per channel continuous at 8-ohms). Sadly, despite glowing reviews from two of the leading audio
and music magazines of the day (Audio, Stereo Review), the 3150 lasted far shorter in EICO's audio line-up than did the 3070.

driven, THD and IM typically below 0.1%); a Sansui TU-9500 Am/Stereo Fm tuner; a Dual 1229 turntable (the phono
pickup was not identified); the Bose 901 speaker system. Any other components, such as tape recorder decks and/or
players, TV set and Ham or Shortwave receivers, were not mentioned. Total system cost, in 1974 dollars, was $ 2,000.00 !!

Each device requires one 9-volt battery. Under the proper conditions, a D.C. power supply may provide power for both.
FM Microphone Option: Substitute an audio jack for the mic element, and then connect the mic mixer to the jack.
Mic Mixer Note: A battery may not be necessary - Just turn-on mixer's power switch, and (if need be)
turn up the individual input volume controls up slightly higher than normal.
Xtra, Xtra: The FM Mic's maximum **L E G A L** transmit power was 1/10th of a watt (0.1 watts).
