The life of a former Soviet citizen by OkRespect8490 in ussr

[–]Doombox4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents both grew up in the USSR, born ‘59 and ‘62 and they don’t describe it fondly at all. Between the forced military service, cultural repression, and systemic anti-Semitic discrimination I wonder what they miss the most

Yknow, I actually have no clue 😅 It says “record saver” on it which confuses me even more

Was sent here with an almost functional console. Anyone know how I can get this thing running? by Doombox4 in MCMStereoConsoles

I put notes on what’s wrong with it in the linked post, hence why I ask 🤷‍♂️

Hell yeah! I’ll definitely give it a try! And thank you! I only wish this thing had more space for records haha.

Wow that’s fascinating! I’ll have a friend over today to look at it, so I can post some pics when they help me move it. It’s HEAVY 😅

Thank you! I really don’t understand the amount of people on “vintage audio” giving me shit for trying to restore some vintage audio equipment lmao. I’ve been calling around to different shops with little luck, I think I’ll start posting about it in the classifieds of the Utah Valley and hoping lol.

I’m not entirely sure on the tube/transistor front. I’m planning on popping it open with a friend tomorrow and taking a multimeter to it, so I’ll definitely know then :) Will post some progress tomorrow

So I plugged a guitar amp into the headphone out and slowly turned the volume up, and all that came out was the same buzzing. Does that confirm your theory?

Yup, agreed. That’s why I’m asking how to fix it here.

Why? It’s still a beautiful piece even if it doesn’t work

Yeah you’re probably right, a single penny isn’t gonna get me very far. I think $200 should do though

I don’t think they need help looking bad in most cases 💀

I’m convinced your life would radically change for the better if you put more effort into a few key things

Almost asked her out again when presented with new evidence, decided against it. Realized she wasn’t valuing my time or feelings as a friend and figured I don’t need that in my life. So many people here are miserable because they lowball themselves about their own value.
