i heard that stuffing the utterly empty stock cabinets with polyfill or the like significantly tightens up the bass response...

well, i stumbled upon these mini-monitors at my local GW just yesterday for $20.00. i nearly passed them by, but noticing the make, and knowing something of the reputation they have, i decided to at least have a close look. i was immediately impressed by the weight, for the size, and the...

thanks a ton Steve, and everyone else, too!!! and here is the exact three tape types that comprised my first ever TYPE-IIs, handed down from my folks back around 1999/2000. the MAXELL XL-II 1988 and TDK SA 1984 are courtesy of Steven (Thanks, man!!!) and the MAXELL XL-IIS 1989 is from a...

Thank God!!!! here's to a full and expedient recovery!!

indeed, i've heard the belts are a mother to change in this design. fortunately, this example seems fine on that account. the only issue, in fact, is the auto-changer's tendency to jam, which appears to be the fault of the anti-vibration rubber coating on the magazine's disc trays peeling away...

Jeez... i had no idea. me and Craig go all the way back to to our AK days, back around 2006/2007 or so. a silly question he was kind enough to come along out of nowhere and attempt to answer for me, in regards to the occasional "static snap" i was hearing somewhere within the confines of my...

yeah, without that coating, the tray is quite plasticky. still and all, it is a sort of plasticky a great many steps above the absolute rinky-dink flimsiness of the DVD player mechanisms pretty much shared by most modern CDPs made during the last 10/20 years. anyway; the Dual-Mono Analog...

while it certainly isn't the cosmetic equal of the best PIONEER models such as the PD-91 and 93, it is definitely top quality, indeed so heavily built that it feels like hoisting a solid chunk of steel. that said, there's a thin anti-vibration rubber coating on the disc tray that does not...

been getting lucky at the thrifts and such lately. this time being Nakamichi's 1991/1992 $2000.00 MSRP TOTL internal-magazine-type CD changer, the "CD Player 1" great name, guys. anyways, this beast is, well, at something like 30lbs. or so, a Beast. much of the weight is due to the...

standard CIA issue then, may i presume? why? is this deck prone to draining it's cells in short order and causing premature leakage? also, before anyone gets carried away on notions that this was some intelligence field officer's personal dictation recorder; this deck was found, -in a plain...

"AGAPE HOUSE" in HERMISTON, OR. they hold a "name your price" rummage sale about ten times per year or so; http://agapehousehermiston.org/ they've been at it for the last decade at least, and once or twice a year on average i get lucky. one of the first i ever attended, about ten years back...

found this fairly well-made piece at that local rummage sale i attend, held every month or three, paid about a dollar or so. it's well made, ant it seems to work perfectly. only issue is that it is MONO only, but is definitely Hi-Fi MONO, even out of the internal speaker. no DRAGON-killer...

Thanks a Ton, Guys!! i'll see what i can do... :p

the deck's main drive belt was gone, but the motor went through all the proper motions when FF/REW/PLAY was depressed, so that was encouraging. i found a way to remove a couple screws in the right-hand side of the flywheel support frame below the main motor, allowing me to pull it away enough...

came by this, a 1979 "Floroscan" model, at my local GW yesterday. don't really need it, what with the limited storage space left to me, but i just could not leave a reasonably decent vintage Pio deck on the shelf, not for an early/mid-oughts Yard Sale price like $2.99. she cleaned up real...

the best deck i've ever owned to date, -by a wide margin- and the best i'll likely ever own; (what with the pricing of similar TOTL models these days and all) ELITE Series version (CT-91/91α) EURO Market version (CT-939/939mk.II) PIONEER "REFERENCE MASTER MECHANISM" HEAD BLOCK...

i do need to find myself one of those early/mid-80's MAXELL MX one of these days...

Thank You, "Finebar4"

thank you kindly!!

yeah, been thinking of doing something about that, easy enough to do. this S2 is a real pleasure to hold and use, it's bulk quite reassuring. that said, it's probably a better outdoor scenery camera; the NIKON D5000 is far more effortlessly surefire in it's results, at least for the indoor...
