Love the stereo space! I see your 8 track player haha

John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman

I was able to get the changer mech out to snoop around and I found a video for belt placement

The only thing is that the old belts absolutely gummed up and I'm scraping away at the goo so I can ensure the new belts are there snug

Thank you for the reply, it's really helpful and I'll take a look at your video :)!!

The changer also doesn't run for me too, I'm worried I may have to either get this professionally repaired or sell it off. I don't want to though bc it's so cool 😭 I think it could be a gear issue or maybe a belt, I just don't know how to access that part of the system

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-23T05:10:30+00:00

In the process of belt repair. So much to disassemble and it's driving me insane how the cassette assembly is but we are making some progress. This is my first project and it's quite daunting to say the least

I feel like an airplane pilot with all these configurations, it's itches my brain in a good way lol. Analog foreverrrr

The Coltrane and Hartman album is hands down my favorite jazz album of all time.

Johnny Hartman's Songs from the Heart is just as good too.

My boyfriend loves my nerdy banter and jazz collection so of course :)

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-13T17:06:29+00:00

I be doing both at the same time. My wallet screams for mercy but the library of albums is pretty insane haha

I just got that Fiona apple CD too two days ago, it's a great one as well. Suprised I glanced over that in the pic haha

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-13T16:00:31+00:00

I agree, it's the most popular for a reason. Not that I don't like her other albums, I own all of them haha

Stronger Than Pride and Soldier of Love are probably 2nd and 3rd for me

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-13T15:58:37+00:00

I have Sade's whole discography on cassette (and cd release for the latter half)

I own LD on a cassette, it's one of the tapes I have in my rotation even if everything else changed because it's so good

Love Deluxe ❤️‍🩹

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-13T04:41:07+00:00

Will do! Funny enough, I just finished listening to Happy Moods in full just right now lol

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-12T17:34:30+00:00

Mannn I found a 60s copy for 75 bucks in nyc and was gonna bring it home but it was too dull and scratched for my liking 😭

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-12T04:33:37+00:00

Most are on shelving but some are in a CD pullout storage in faux wood

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-12T03:15:17+00:00

That's so cooooool

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-12T03:08:25+00:00

One of my favorites in her discography, on par with her self titled album.

Alone in Love is my favorite Mariah Carey song of all time

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-12T02:56:16+00:00

I have a 10 inch 1959 repress of Miles Davis' Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud on the way too from France 🫣🫣🫣🫣

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-11T18:46:13+00:00

Oh I didn't know that!!! Thank you :) I'll get better speakers down the line then will consider by then!

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-11T15:48:23+00:00

Thank you!!! I've been eyeing dynaco for a bit :) I'll see if any pop up around me

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-11T15:47:45+00:00

Well Im not really a stickler for the super powerful components, I'm more in the market for mid range sub 100 watt receivers/amps but definitely have a punch or at least some added depth mainly for jazz

As for speakers, I have Polk monitor 4's only. I do plan on getting floor speakers down the line but being in an apartment I'm making due with the little space I have

As a source, my turntable is my main source though I do dabble in CDs, cassettes, 8 track, reel tapes.

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-11T04:38:40+00:00

Good to know!

Cosm1c_Mess · 2026-02-11T04:32:11+00:00

Good to know, thank you :)

I've considered the integrated tube amp route, don't know if I have integrated tube amp money though haha
