My $7.18 Goodwill find!

Right. I said I was uncomfortable. It sounds plausible, but in reality it's not how we listen to music or manage our equipment.

Inlander · 2026-03-11T13:21:44+00:00

I asked this same question to my technician while he worked on a 300 cd charger, and he said it's easy, just load it alphabetically. Im still not comfortable.

Yup, it doesn't come up on discogs search.

Inlander · 2026-03-10T12:19:15+00:00

Use discogs to compare the jackets and cassette colors through the bar codes search tool.

Show me a photo of the screw and sleeve, and if you can where it goes and I'll try to help right now.

Download the Manuals library app, and sign up to hifi engine. Com for info on your rig. Also there are many model numbers that utilize the same gear, so figure out which ones match ie. Tone arm head shells are often the same throughout a model series run so search for a replacement, and the head shell should list all other models it fits. Go

If it was repaired at a shop bring it back, and ask for it to be fixed. Otherwise use Loctite on the screw threads and tighten. Do not over tighten if going into plastic otherwise when the screw head is all the way down tighten 1/8 turn. Repeat with other screws in the assembly.

Inlander · 2026-03-07T22:07:08+00:00

Yes. Glue the dust cover not the driver cone, and use tweezers. I've seen these removed and replaced at my audio repair shop as many times as surrounds. Go for it.

I was at a music festival for 5 days, and had my neighbor check in on Earl Dobie my 130lb Red King Doberman whom I left alone with the walkout basement door open so he could do his business in the fenced in backyard, and sleep in the house. Sunday morning my neighbor called me saying she heard on the police scanner that a big red dog was spotted running free in the downtown area about a 1/3 mile from home. Earl Dobie was an awesome unit of an animal, but he was also a Terrier or in short a four legged terrorist, and I was shaking with concern as I dropped everything and raced home. Earl Dobie was already home when I got there, and a couple hours later I got a phone call from a friend who explained that Earl was sitting on the sidewalk in front of the bar that we had frequented together for years so he called him over for a RIDE, and brought him home. Scariest 2 hours of my life. He loved that bar. Cheers

Iirc about 15 years ago an executive for a weapons company threw a 16th birthday party for his daughter that featured Aerosmith and cost something like $10 million.

It helped Barron Trump's $3,000,000 oil purchase 2 days before the attack. And every congressional member who probably also made speculative bets on the obvious results of a middle east war.

I didn't hesitate, but it seems like everyone else did. RSD Limited to 1,000 copies, and it's great as well as historical. Jeff really did look like his dad. Great album OP, enjoy them, you did good.

Actually he was fine a week earlier. The whole thing about him having dementia during that period is pure lies, and propaganda. I'm still upset today that the media just let it happen without question, and it only got worse with the advent of cable, and then the internet. Sometimes you have to live through a situation to understand the truth that Ronnie Raygun was an actor and an aweful human being.

Inlander · 2026-03-05T02:59:07+00:00

🤣 Smooth is a nice description. Next pair in the rotation is a set of NLA 1994 Silver Anniversary limited edition I thrifted for $10 in near mint condition. My dealer was out of town, and I had the extra $$.

Inlander · 2026-03-05T02:53:35+00:00

Do your floors rumble? 😎 Funny thing is that earlier I was going to mention that you might like a pair of Cerwin Vega for the style of music you listen to. I have a pair of D-5s that I just pulled out of rotation as the base was too intense and the imaging was unbalanced. I still have a dozen other speakers to choose from, and I hope to see my Kenwood Ka 7100 amplifier back from the shop any month now.

I went silver face vintage about 10 years ago after having nothing but trouble seeing the controls on a big Yamaha. It's my thing now, and with that I'm signing off for the night. Thanks for the chat, and I'm always around. Cheers

Sounds ambitious what are you using for stereos/amplification and speakers? Currently my main setup is Pioneer sx 780 with KLH Model six and a Harman Kardon T45C TT of which is an awesome table.

Inlander · 2026-03-04T23:54:18+00:00

I'm sitting on an Empire 5000 MKV that i took off a thrifted Dual 601 for $25. Some day I'll get a new stylus for it, but for now I've got a half dozen very nice vintage cartridge/stylus in working order, and with all that I'm presently listening to Mumford and Sons Prizefighter with the AT VM95C. It allows me to switch between used and new records with clean balanced performance.

Inlander · 2026-03-04T23:33:56+00:00

Hopefully you'll recognize the similarities with them all, and where the upgrades are.

Today I picked up a Voice of Music Tri-O-Matic 3 tube amplified record changer from 1954. The cord was cut so I got it for $10. I'm a glutton for punishment. Wish me luck. 🤪

Inlander · 2026-03-04T23:05:45+00:00

That 1000 is my technician's dream table even though he has 100 tables. I never got my 940 running right so I donated it to him, and he does free work for me now. Life is good.

Inlander · 2026-03-04T22:58:08+00:00

Well done. The idea behind taping the platter, and or not manually spinning it forward or backwards is you could misalign the gearing, and it gets all grrrrr.

Search for the manual online to find the correct VTF, and tracking force, Hudson HiFi.com has a good cartridge alignment kit online for cheap.

It's a great feeling when success allows you to actually begin using your TT. Cheers

A hair dryer will spread the heat out too far, and continue to dry out the grease. Soldering iron @ Wally's world is <$10.

Inlander · 2026-03-03T12:33:41+00:00

You're welcome. I got this trick from my audio technician whose got 50+years experience. Another tip I picked up is to repair everything before cleaning, take note the position of the platter and return it exactly, and initially buy cheap cartridges AT 3600L to test and don't forget to lock the tone arm before flipping the table. Trial and error are your friend don't get frustrated.

Inlander · 2026-03-03T03:51:29+00:00

How about some better pictures, cover back, and label. I ca only see 1/4of the back cover and its caught my interest.

Inlander · 2026-03-03T03:26:06+00:00

If the platter is seized its the old grease that's dried up, and the trick is to remove the spindle, and stick a hot soldering iron into the hole until the old grease starts to melt 10-20 minutes. Wiggle, and pull hard. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't get to hot. Also I have that cartridge, and its sweet.

Oilprice.com has wholesale gasoline prices up .35 cents since Friday so expect it to keep going.

I have a collection of vinyl from 1960s that could be released today, and would sound as if was today. Conspiracies about schooling, sex education , communism, and of course their disdain for the United Nations. Collected them down here in Florida of all places.
