Why must shipping take sooo long?!

Some of us remember when shipping on anything mail order was "6-8 weeks for delivery".


Just yesterday I bought a circa 1961 Eico mono FM tuner. I believe it has 4 tubes.

$20 thrift store find.

It's pretty and reeks of 1961.

Haven't opened it up to see if any of the tubes are good or even still there.
