I'd say you used a touch too much.

Might be that if you offered WAC upgrades as well as WOPL upgrades, DC300's values would rise. EDIT: WOC upgrades.

Good tune! The band I was in for 17 years did nothing but covers....except for two originals. Out motto was "We've forgotten more songs than most bands will ever learn". Keep You're Hands to Yourself was one we did over a long time. It was fun to play.

I saw both of those bands in the early 70's but not together....I don't think. BOA must have been later because Ruby Starr in Daisy Dukes caught my attention in Jim Dandy to the Rescue. I think that one came out in '73.

Too bad your job fell through the cracks. I've had a dozen or more dealings with Tom on different repairs and he always came through. Maybe yours was left with Tibor? My impression is he is addled most of the time. Twice that I recall, when I picked up a repair, he suggested I could barter...

A long winded story but since there are forum members in BC, I thought this might be to their benefit. The business, Vancouver Audio Speaker Clinic, was the go to place for speaker repair since the mid 1970's. I was aware of them for many years but first set foot in their door ten or twelve...

I agree, that is a smart looking record player. I've not seen one either. Does not look as if it was intended for a stereotypical juke box environment like a cafe or bar.

I hope the servicing doesn't involve disassebly/reassembly of that mechanism. Good price on that cartridge but the vendor does not ship to Canada.

I'll check further for that Pfanstiehl. Only did a quick search. The retail seller's website where I saw it was asking $30.

Many thanks, those are great links. I would for sure need a minimum of a new idler and cartridge. Up til now, I assumed I would be dealing with Voice of Music. For one of those stand alone RP168's I tossed, I had tried adapting one of the ceramic cartridges I had on hand by mounting to the...

If you are familiar with those things, I might like to pick your brain sometime within the next few weeks. Today I received replacement capacitors and resistors for the radio/amp portion of a 9Y5 and I have a line on the 4 tubes I'll need. One tube is still good. The record changer I'm...

I was, coincidentally, listening to that Roy Buchanan LP this morning. But my 8 track copy is used.

There were some 2N3055's that I checked prior to the 909's. Their hFE was between 175 snd 445. Or so my "device" said. That is why I was expecting to see higher numbers for those 909's. But I just now looked at the data sheet for ON Semi's 2N3055 and the hFE numbers are nowhere near that...

Nope, the thing operates on 3.7v from an integrated rechargeable battery. But the hFE numbers on the sheet are lower than I thought they'd be.

Thanks, they shall go in the garbage.

I agree and would be happy if I could afford better gear. Better anything really. But not in the cards and even more so the past two years since I've been in negative cash flow. You should see the place I had to move into. Savings dwindle from basic living expenses.

Could be, it's only a $20 item that happens to read hFE. I went through a bunch of various TO3 transistors to see which ones passed or failed and recorded hFE numbers for all of them. Other transistors all displayed higher numbers than the old PL parts. Made me wonder if that was normal...

It's an out of curiosity question. There are a dozen (X)PL909 transistors in a bag that I saved after removal from my 700B. I have no intention of using them but I checked them with one of those cheap Chinese component testers. All of the transistors were identified as BJT - NPN so I assume...

You need an 8 track and few tapes to round things out.

I have one of those decks and posted here about it’s motor not too long ago. After installing it, I’ve encountered a couple of problems. Having a legible schematic might help me out. The one on HIFi Engine is too low rez for me to see when zooming in. It there is someone here that has a...
