Always pays as you're driving around on a Saturday or Sunday to see what people are selling at garage sales and for that matter a thrift shop occasionally turns up something quite unique and valuable.
That is a transcriptor and I've no idea on the tonearm...too long ago and right now I've got it in storage in what we call here the 'secret room'! I bought it because I liked the way it looked, it was new, and the price was just too good to pass up. But it's so fully manual that it drives me...
What no wax cylinders?? This is similar to my turntable which I got a long time ago for a song. It will go to my son when he gets his first house. Personally I don't think vinyl stacks up to decent CD's and I'm past the point in my life where adjusting carbs on cars is fun. I like the artistry...
Would you believe, it was some time in the 60's, my friend's father took us to Fenway where we watched the Sox play the Yanks (Sox lost) and a large amount of people booed Yaz for not hustling down to first. Ever been to Cooperstown Jack?
I've got a baseball signed by Don Larsen and somehow I've got to get it signed by Yogi too. After all, that was the one and only perfect game in the world series :)
Yes, we all get old sometimes (talk about a Yogi-ism!!) so what do we do? Where can we go to share our stories of 'the amp that got away' or how we used to put pennies on our tonearms to improve tracking? Where can we go where a nice hearty meal of oatmeal is served at night in a room filled...
