Nope. Other side of the continent.

I knew McIntosh held clinics but did not know Marantz did something similar.

Unless I'm confusing the Corvair with a different car, which is entirely possible, I thought the big gripe about them was a front impact issue. Drivers getting decapitated by the steering wheels.

Around 1977 I began selling cars at a Renault, Fiat, Volvo dealership. It was advertised that police in LaConnor, WA were using Renault R5's - aka LeCar.

A bit of an update. When I made that last visit, a notice was taped to the door. It was placed there by a former employee who had left several years ago. The notice contained an e-mail address created by that former employee for the benefit of anyone who, like myself, had left items there for...

I ignored Styx, not my idea of rock music. Then "Come Sail Away", from that Grand Illusion album hit the radio and I detested that song. Therefore I not only ignored Styx, I hated them.

The GF might appreciate a fully automatic table. Like I do.

There is a track on Steppenwolf’s 2nd album called Hodge Podge Strained Through a Leslie.

The fellow’s name was Nick Sieflow. I learned of this yesterday. I engaged in numerous dealings with Nick, including buying a Thorens TD124 from him several years ago. But buyers remorse set in so I took it back to his shop in 2021 for consignment sale. As far as I knew it had not sold...

Two of my high school friends were brothers who's family owned a neighbourhood market across the street. I'd hang out there after dinner when one of them had to mind the store. Good old airplane glue was kept on the shelf until it's sale was prohibited. There were three 10 or 12 year old...

As requested.

Thanks Joe and yes, I do have the schematic.

Does anyone know much about selenium rectifiers? Last fall, I mentioned in a different thread about having an RCA 9Y5. I've replaced quite few components inside but in the process, I suspect the selenium rectifier has failed - as in dropping voltage. The dial lamp now dims almost immediately...

From 1996 to 2011 my job was quoting on and providing replacement electronics (and other things) if any were involved in a home insurance contents claim. The quotes went directly to the adjusters. One claim involved an large Akai power amp. It was determined to be the reason why a...

For sound quality? Short answer is yes. That DH101 is the only piece of Hafler gear I still own. It was included for free with a NAD 2100 that I bought off Craigslist for $75. I wasn't really interested in the pre-amp but did not refuse it. This was all before learning of this Pheonix forum...

What Hafler? Last week I finished my latest round in a ten year tussle with a DH101.

Nice to see that PL's EQ is a parametric. I thought it would be the typical 10 or 12 band graphic.

Replacing transistors in this DH101 fast became a frustrating experience. The diagram I was following (contained in the service manual) used triangle symbols to indicate transistor positions and designated position numbers - Q1, Q2, etc. I have not encountered transistors depicted with...

I bought the El Rayo X album when it came out specifically for the track Mercury Blues but thought the rest of the LP was dreck. I knew nothing of David Lindley other than that song. I didn't care for Jackson Browne, never owned any of his albums so never knew the two were connected. One of...

Interesting. The last time I ordered from Mouser, shipping took a couple of weeks so I have taken to using Digikey. Digikey's shipments arrive in a couple of days. What popped up first on Digikey's site was the description for On Semi's MPSA63 which said "obsolete" and likewise for MPSA13...
