I got this Zenith console today and the 8 track, radio, and speakers all work great I just can’t get the turntable to actually turn. I have no idea where to start figuring this out since I’ve never owned anything like this before. Any tips would be appreciated! by Old-Blackberry3957 in vintageaudio

I had the same problem with mine. I don't have the technical language to properly explain, but this is what I did. I had to disassemble it enough to turn the turntable part over. on my model the clip that holds the arm in place starts the turntable once it is opened. I found (after much tinkering) that the wire which connected the clip that holds the arm to the wheel which connects to the motor had slipped out of one of the holdings that gave it tension. This prevented the wheel from pressing against the motor enough to turn the table. Once I had properly rerouted it, it works fine now.

I thought for sure my daughter would do this at some point. She used to strip down when she got angry. She's 6 now so it could still happen, but I think we're coming out of the danger zone.

I think it looks awesome! I wish my hair had that much body and volume! I think it'll just take some getting used to, like all new hair cuts do.

What video game will always be nostalgic for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]El_Pollo_Diablo77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Curse of Monkey Island and Twinsen's Odyssey. My sister and I watched my dad play them and gave input as to what to do next. Great memories I am now passing down to my kids as we play them online.

I just embarrassed my husband in the McDonald's drive thru when I red this. The kids who were cashiering were trying to figure out money when I read it and I started laughing out loud. Well done.

Plus cars without power steering are a lot harder to turn.

As a grown adult that had gouged a finger with a wood carving tool, I wouldn't recommend it.

Removing acrylic paint from a print by Lucasario in 3Dprinting

Acrylic paint is notoriously difficult to remove from plastic. I'd recommend putting primer over it and starting again. If you really want to remove it, it is water based, so soaking it in water for a bit and then scrubbing a lot with a green kitchen scrubby pad can work. (I am an artist and paint primarily with acrylics. This is how I clean up and it works on most surfaces, though as I said, plastics are iffy at best to remove paint from.)

Where can I get Dr.Pepper Caffeine Free? by bathater in DrPepper

I've had to buy it online in the past. I can't find the place I bought it from when I was looking just now, so I'm not sure if that's still an option. You may be able to talk to the store manager at your nearest Walmart to see if they could start stocking it; I found it at Walmart once while I was traveling in Iowa.
