Just an observation. I ordered some parts, including resistors, for an RCA 9Y5 record player radio combo that was made in 1949. I found the physical size difference between the old resistors compared with the new ones startling. Resistors seem to be smaller even than they were just a couple...

A few years ago, I gave a friend a pair of Leak Sandwich 150 speakers and a Kenwood KA-3500 integrated. They were to replace his old, out of commission amp and a pair of likewise Pioneer HPM60's. Those leak speakers were the nicest sounding, non-floor standing speakers I had. His intent was...

Released in 1947....older than I am.

I had an earworm this morning.

Hearing a quad 8 track was good - rigging up a 4 channel system for playback was not. Second amp, second pair of speakers and necessary wires and cables strung out across the room. I had a Zenith Quadraphonic 8 track player for a time to experiment with then sold it for $25. Also had a half...

I'm waiting to learn when I go for my 2nd colonoscopy - supposed to be this year sometime. The first was three years ago and I woke up during the process. Heard some talking, looked around at what was on the monitors, said "thanks for the tour" and went back to sleep. The proceedure was a...

I have that album as well but I think mine is a 1963 copy. Difference of catalogue number and no mention of it being stereo. But the label does say "Outstanding High Fidelity Recordings". It was them appearing on the Andy Griffith Show that made me interested.

I used all of the cassette tape brands at one time or another. Being in audio retail for years had some perks when it came to employee purchases. Fuji FR-II became my tape of choice. On several occasions I sold large quantities of my blank tape stash on CAM but I hung on to all the Fuji...

You need another to name Seiko. With two, one can lean against you on each side. That way you won't need to hang onto something to keep from being pushed over. A few years ago, I used to help out with fundraising for The West Coast Rottweiler Rescue Association. Motto...."Helping the...

That's a name that hasn't crossed my mind in while.

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...
