hey guys, just came across this at my local GW, decided to take the risk, my first flirtation with 8-TRACK since back around 2000 or so, when fiddling around with my grandma's SOUNDESIGN combo cabinet stereo with built-in 8-TRACK. i'm working on cleaning it up, just got it's gooey original...

believe me, i would have greatly preferred that stuff, but the price is indeed prohibitive. some years back, the foam rubber dampening sheet affixed to the underside of my PIO ELITE PD-91 CDP's aluminum top plate was beginning to deteriorate, so i peeled that all away, and replaced it with...

actual photos of my actual copy of the KYOCERA player shown above. lightly, perhaps pointlessly "modded" by me since, oiled the real wood veneer side panels with OLD ENGLISH, layered the interior with self-adhesive thick felt pads, and replaced the tiny plastic peg-feet with large...

it looks fantastic in any case. myself, i'd prefer the original 1987 KEX-M700-based system, but that's just me. hope this rig (and the truck it is installed in) gives the OP many fine years of service to come...

great news, Craig!! i am cerain you will be as pleased with your D5000 as i am with my own! it hasn't let me down yet. something i strongly reccomend is getting yourself at least one spare EN-EL9a battery pack. i always immediately recharge keep my spare charged, so i always have a fresh pack...

i've a fair little collection of the same magazines as advertised there, -including a JD-M300TP 3-pack- all accoutrements for my 1987 TOTL ELITE PD-M90X magazine changer CDP. ((i have since added a 1986 PD-M6 and 1988 PD-M700, rounding out a TOTL triumvirate of PIONEER's earliest, best made...

my NIKON D5000 DSLR setup was a package deal from COSTCO for just over a grand, with protection plans and whatnot, tripod and accessories $200/300 more. i got it all at once in 2009, used the daylights out of it and it hasn't let me down yet. it is, exclusively, what i have taken all my photos...

nothing electrical. what you see there is what you get, actually; several packages worth of self-adhesive"SUPER SLIDERS" thick felt pads from WALLY-WORLD, some liberal application of cable ties, to clean up internal appearances, (HAUTE COUTURE HI-FI) and a set of large rubber isolator feet...

so, here's photos of my actual copy finally, a series of minor mods made, and the side panels freshly oiled up;

simply pried/peeled it away. in any case, it certainly came off easily enough. i guess modern 9v don't have the metal shell glued on in any way? at least the DURACELL PRO CELLs that i have do not seem to...

**** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-59_/_TI-58 **** hi all. i happened across this old beauty about 6 years ago or so at a thrift for like, $3.00? something close to that, anyway. this 1970's model was supposedly the most advanced of it's day, or, at least, among the most advanced...

Rest in Peace, Nimoy, and thank you eternally for the efforts you made towards making the world a better place. i've been a Trekkie since childhood, and am to this day a firm believer that STAR TREK as a whole always has been quite religious in it's overall optimistic vision of the future, and...

my latest find, a 1987 KYOCERA DA-310CX, just shy of a 10-spot at my local GW;

yeah, they sure didn't seem to have ever enjoyed much U.S. market share, but it evidently wasn't for any want of effort in their products...

we were hauling some stuff from the house to GOODWILL about a week-odd back, downsizing for our move and all, and i get this nagging feeling to go on in and have a quick look around. usually, my local GW only ever puts nothing but pure crap on the floor in their electronics section, but...

i'm heartened to see that you got hold of, and so successfully restored, such an utterly well preserved example of a treasure of your youth. myself, i grew up around a pair of decidedly so-so (IMHO) no-frills VHS VCRs, a Linear Stereo HITACHI from like 1986 and an entry level S-VHS RCA from...

if i was ever to go Separates on Stereo Amplification, this is how i'd do it;

that sucker is in gorgeous condition, Congrats. too bad you were forced to mod it with that externally-mounted cooling fan, but better safe than sorry. my own JVC HR-S8000U and MITSUBISHI HS-U80 S-VHS decks run quite hot indeed, but they do enjoy ample ventilation space, so i haven't been too...

BOBBY BROWN; DON'T BE CRUEL (1988) just found an original issue of the album on CD at the thrift, used to have only the cassette edition. sounds sweeter than ever through my Pio ELITE PD-91 CDP. my favorite track from the album; http://youtu.be/eI0-n3bkRno

i've loved this song since i first ran across it on one of my father's early-80's AIR-CHECKed mixtapes back in the late-1990's. since he was SO on-again-off-again about making his J-card notations, and the cassette this song was found on was obviously made during one of his F%$K-it-all moments...
