I agree with that business model..... Bummer that there are issues, but agree it is best to handle them and move on. Robert

Hi Nando, I don't use the RT-909 very much. It was a real adventure getting it going so tend to use the 701 or the older Pioneer which came before the 909,707,701 series. I actually like the older Pioneer better in some ways (1011L or something like that) than either of the other Pioneers. I...

Here is the one of the Pioneer decks:

How did I missed this thread...... I will have to find some photos of the Pioneer's, 1020L, 701, 909. Robert

Removal varies depending on the type of part. A vacuum solder sucking machine or even the spring loaded manual tool is really helpful. At a minimum clean, flux, flux, and more flux..... I find the hardest parts to remove are those which have been mechanically secured before being soldered...

In addition to what is posted above: Be sure everything is clean. Use solder flux. Be sure your solder iron tip is in good condition and at the right temperature. Practice on some scrap parts or wire if you have not soldered in a while. Don't move or blow air on the solder joint while the solder...

My favorite for the past several years comes from Aldi's (Chain of German discount food stores in the midwest). They have a vacuum pack brick of German roasted for all of $5.00. It has converted many coffee drinkers from the more expensive stuff. Robert

Many thanks to my Secret Santa (Sutton) for the wonderful gifts. Just what I needed, a tape eraser, some RTR leader and splice tape. I never dreamed that I would get one of the items on my list, let alone all of them. Thanks so much. Robert

Merry Christmas everyone! BTW: I can't wait to get home from work and open the Secret Santa package..... :) :) :) Robert

I have a small boatload of those Monoprice (red and white) cables shown in the original post. Bought them for another one of those routing project ideas which did not work out as planned. Anyway,they work fine except are a bit of a pain to route if you are in a small space. Robert

Welcome to the Phoenix Forum..... Glad to see you are asking questions already, that is a good sign. Ha, we have been known to scare some of the not-so-brave away before all the hello's are even finished! :) There are a bunch of really great folks here as you will come to find out. Robert

Now that is what I would call 'original packaging'..... :) Robert

Thanks to everyone involved with the Christmas CD and card. I received mine this afternoon, and will give it a listen this evening. Thanks guys, you all are great! Robert

It's so tempting..... However, think I'll wait a bit, at least until more of the gang have received their surprise. Robert :)

The Secret Santa Elf was busy today in MN.... They helped ship my gift this morning and when I returned home they had also delivered one.... :) :) :) Now comes the long wait until Christmas morning.... :( No peaks, right?!?!?! Robert

Mine is packed, just need to get to the post office and get it mailed..... :) Robert

Total agreement....... I'll even offer to bring the rope, tie the knot, and find a tall tree to dangle them from! Robert

BINGO!!! There is agreement on a variety of issues and that is where the involvement of everyone needs to happen. If this country is to survive the people had best start working together to solve the things they do agree on. For example, we both agree there is way to much waste. Great, why...

Lee, I can't wait..... FWIW, I was in Sheridan a few weeks back looking at houses. The need for a nice shop may require me to build, which would be an interesting adventure from 900 miles away. It will happen one of these days.... Robert

I agree everyone should voice their opinion..... However, I totally disagree with your point that all is wonderful here in the northern winterland or the country. FWIW, I have lived in many parts of the country and things are not wonderful here or in most parts of the country for the average...
