Yes, I have a two channel decoder.  I had a four channel decoder that looked 
like the one that you have.  DBX said that they improved the circuitry to 
increase the noise reduction from 30db to 40db so I bought one of the new 
improved units and gave the original unit to a friend.  DBX's advertising 
slogan at the time was "Dolby reduces noise, DBX eliminates it."
I have a nice collection of DBX LP recordings and cassettes.  I've stopped 
recording tapes in DBX because I have been afraid of being stuck with too 
many recordings encoded in DBX should my decoder unit ever fail.  I sure wish 
we had garage sales around here like the one's in your area.  It is very rare 
to find good used hi-fi equipment around here.
