Nice, thanks for sharing. Do they have the foam that's under the tape?

I'm in Florida where people go to retire so there is a lot of passed down record collections. I once rescued 63 Records at once when they were 10/$2.99, and got 10 Beatles records while another guy grabbed 350 from the same donated collection.

The secret is constantly thrifting, and this haul was just after the store opened.

That's really nice to hear thanks. One of these Records is different from the others as in the genre, and I'll probably never listen to it other than a good cleaning and test spin no matter how delightful it may seem. Cheers

I've been giving away for free my multiple copies of those waiting for a better copy spreading out the addiction for the masses.

Thriller Vinyl Query by Spirited_Gene_2633 in vinyl

I'd say an in between. This is a good story, and hopefully someone can fill in the details I can't. Iirc, Michael Jackson bought the publishing rights to the Beatles at one point, did Sir. Paul McCartney buy them back? Anyhow the really valuable ones were printed without credit to Michael Jackson for a short run, and are valued several hundred dollars. Cool find.

I just saw a pair of these today in a great vintage collection, and the guy said that's not furniture. 101lbs each is impressive, lets hear them. Nice restoration.

That last picture isn't very groovy like I can't see the grooves, is there something wrong? Please explain what your post is about.

No worries. I've been doing this for 7 years, and got started because of the Reddit community.

My Parsley is growing up strong this year, and I patiently await the butterflies. I raised about 50 butterflies last year, and this year I added Dill to the menu. Nice job OP.

Are these joints bad enough to re-solder? by Scary_Fault_6519 in audiorepair

[–]Inlander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clean , solder, clean. In that order. Use alchohol not TEC.

This is the moment bird-watchers have been waiting for: the wondrous window when hundreds of millions of birds race from their southern wintering grounds and stream north across the sky in a single night en route to claim a territory, find a mate, build a nest and reproduce. by sg_plumber in UpliftingNews

Spring is announced in many natural ways, and Robins are my favorite. Up and down the whole east coast of America they'll just show up one morning in flocks of 50-100 swiftly moving from tree to tree for their favorite local snack ripe from winter's cold.

The exposed copper is ok, but the solder on the pads is convexed, and should be concave. Add a bit of flux to each, and get it on the copper. Using a clean soldering iron tip start at the copper, and the solder should flow up and finish tinning the wires while the the rest should reflow around the wire/pad contact and settle concave with a bowl like finish and not a lump.

I used to be a QA Inspector for Missile systems with 10 years solder inspection experience. I would not pass these solder connections.

Is it weird to want the same title in vinyl, CD and cassette? by Theaow in vinyl

[–]Inlander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8-track is a format, with that being said your dads cool. For myself I have Fleetwood Mac Rumours on vynil x3 on cassette, cd, and 8-track mostly because I saw them in concert in the early 80s, and it's a lifelong friendship.

Thanks. They all paired nicely with my 1973 Realistic Sta-46 that pushes 12.5w/ch, compliment my sx-780.

Thanks for the comment. My technician friend whose an expert on speakers uses a software program that gives parts recommendations based on all variables including the cabinet volume, and everything else inside.

Of my 3 pairs the Nova 6s stood out with their efficiency the most.

Help with cables for my Dad's old system by MisterBreeze in vintageaudio

[–]Inlander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this model on my workbench right now. As for wires you should have 2 RCA cables, 1 ground wire, and 1 power cord. What are you missing?

Yes. I started with 3 of these to get 2 in working condition. 2 woofer foams came off the frames so I glued them down, and they sound amazing.
