I've been cataloging on discogs, I have a few unique releases that aren't in their database (and it's a rip in the sphincter to follow their new release rules...). I've heard it said that you're really not a "serious" collector until you have 1,000 releases in your collection. I just hit 1016.

Waiting for prescriptions to be filled, I wandered around the local Warmalt. Found a surprise! Not many there, but there were a few on my want list.

Yup, I actually bought a Crosley device. It's a toy, but I couldn't resist!

My first "outside job" came up- an AB-so-LOOT-ly PERFECT late-model PL400. Original owner, purchased in 1975. Looks like it came out of the factory yesterday! When the time comes to take her apart I'm gonna feel like I'm spray-painting Mona Lisa's face!

Any interest? The T-Shirt shop does ball cap embroidery...

The man who paved the way for an endless glut of commercial messages! Bummer, though- he died on his birthday!

Just spotted this today... https://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-JBL-Speaker-Cabinet/323849435527?hash=item4b66ee3987:g:RjIAAOSwzL1c0dh6

Well, after we scared a newbie off by mercilessly hijacking his first thread, the gears of my gray matter still turned. Fiddled with Inkscape and traced pretty accurately the "Phase Linear" script that was in a font that's lost to the sands of time. Here's my mockup. "THE POWERFUL DIFFERENCE"...

Found on FleaBay for $17. Aluminum 45 adapter!

Hey, guys... too long away from my friends, please forgive me. Life has settled down a bit, don't even remember the last time I logged into Phoenix... Well, anyway, just bought a PL700/II on eBay for $750. Probably paid too much, don't know, don't really care, but you just don't see these...

Yesterday I finished rebuilding my PC: Asus B85M-E/CSM Intel i5-4460 3.2GHz 2x Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 ram PNY CS1311 480GB SSD Windows 10 Pro (64) Upgraded from: Asus P5E-VM HDMI Intel Core-2 Duo (2GHz) 2 GB ram Seagate ST 1000DM003 Windows 7 Ultimate (64) This is the fourth set of guts...

I've not logged in for about a year- maybe more. Got a PM from fishoz poking me because I haven't posted/contributed for a while. Lots of shit happened during the year, my sister fell and broke her hip, so it had to be replaced. My nephew lost his leg below the knee (diabetic complications)...

For some reason the space bar doesn't make a space when I type into this forum lately. I have to type my line, mouse click on the intended word breaks, and add my spaces later. Anyone else getting this (feature)? Macintosh Sierra (10.12.1) Google Chrome (54.0.2840.71 [64-bit])

Replaced PS fuses today, went to do a DBT startup but pushed the switch the wrong way, so it went into a full current startup. The odor of ozone and burned components came afterward... So... Where do I go from here?

My first attempt at acrylic sheet fabrication. I made a dust cover for an old record changer. The glued edges came out a little boogery, but for a project done with whatever I had on hand (apart from buying glue and plastic sheets) I think it came out rather well: <iframe width="560"...

Is Crosley finally attempting to make a worthwhile turntable? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Crosley-2-Speed-Manual-Turntable-with-Pro-Ject-Tone-Arm-Natural-/282041900771?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 Still a Crosley, though- I wouldn't touch it with someone else's hands...

I bought a PL3000 preamp at the same time as my PL400 amp thinking I got a sweet deal on a whole functioning combo. The preamp was listed on the bay as "functioning", but it turns out that it's FUCKtioning instead. The selection latch and flip/flop ICs are (I suspect) faulty. So- got my list...

Found this symbol three times lateley- does anyone know who scratches this "cat head" in the deadwax?
