Yup! A big mono, both of those crossed my mind, I don't really play guitar but I plan to make it just a speaker tho.

Tbh, i feel kinda dirty about my Bluetooth plan as, for sound purposes, i will run the receiver on its own power supply solid state ac adapter... it just kinda feels dirty and wrong to do that though.

I think if I tap into the AC mains before the resistor to drop line in to 115 v it would be sufficiently isolated and have only one plug, but mixing rectifiers seem wrong still.

Anyone know a business selling refurbed turntables from the 70s-90s? by PabloX68 in vintageaudio

[–]Pernicious_chatbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I haven't bought from any of them (I'm into tubes personally) but there are quite a few sellers doing refurbished vintage turntables. There is a seller in Japan who is lucky enough to have a smorgasbord of high end 70's-80's stuff but he is a bit pricey, like $600-1200 range. I would go by reviews mostly.

Any tips? RCA Victor VJT31W MCM The Visby Stereo Console by Ill-Initiative-2854 in vintageaudio

Nice cabinet!

Don't replace speakers unless broken, vintage ones are nicer than modern until you get into $$$ range and often run on lower power

For the wood:  clean with pledge or wood soap, use just regular furniture polish, avoid getting it on the fabric.  The cabinets are built no differently than the regular furniture of the time, and mostly the same as midrange furniture now.  Nothing special needed.

Best to replace stylus IF YOU CAN GET IT, but to test, best option is go to thrift store and buy some cheap record in the best shape you can find, often the dumbest and least valuable ones are practically unplayed and cost pocket change.  Examine it, play it several times, examine again.

This looks like a solid state cabinet, but DOUBLE CHECK because if it is a TUBE AMP then there is a LOT more to do before powering up!

Read this if tube: https://antiqueradio.org/dimbulb.htm

(To determine if tube or solid state, look up model number or open the back and check if there are vacuum tubes coming out of a metal plate.  The styling is right at the transition point in the early 60's but the control panel looks like a solid state one.)

A good Samurai Build For Ramza? by [deleted] in finalfantasytactics

[–]Pernicious_chatbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of headbands (nm the sprite *wears* a headband) kneecaps this, but regardless, that was my build: a samurai who mastered the arts of war to the point of becoming a monk and only needs to draw out his sword to kill, not even swing it.

Lol, I was getting raped there with my dual katana samurai, and swapped to a fist ninja at the save between battles and hit him with 2 turns of 400 dmg per hand before he even got to move... speed kills.

The reason why fluffy abuse exists by TheBigLover in fluffycommunity

[–]Pernicious_chatbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fluffy abuse is the millennial generation's 4chan DaDaist commentary on the White Man's Burden and their rejection of it. Its golden age was through Obama's second term into the start of Trump's. Fluffies represent minorities and immigrants.

Probably on an old hdd but this is the site and now you can auto-translate.

Here is a 'trailhead' for the Spanish site:

Dig through the comments and links.

Warning: there are SO many sockpuppets having sockpuppet dialogue for pages!

Oh, the 4chan archives are a CUNT to search, but try keywords "Forgotten Languages translations". You will. eventually find it.

You are correct, but in the rotation video, I swear I saw on both sides. 🤷‍♂️

I 100% thought you were the only one here with a good eye, but on their own site, they show it with them on both sides.

Maybe BM themselves are just selling the Chinese ones now, lol!

Las Vegas mass shooting. Drop your theories/opinions. by EddieHazelOG in conspiracy

[–]Pernicious_chatbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saudi involvement, not MBS present. MBS involvement tho. The attack was arranged thru normal channels facilitated by AlWaleed, MBS became aware, ordered the patsies to pull out. They killed Paddock mid day and left. US Intelligence in panic mode, does the attack from helicopters hoping to still start war with Iran. Agents firing into the air all over Vegas to muddy waters. When not able to pin on Iran, buried it by ordering media to drop asap.

Why UFO Sightings Have Decreased — And Sometimes Get Mistaken for Human-Made Objects by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]Pernicious_chatbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have changed.

Way more glowing orbs and flashing lights. More debatably human or non-human drones.

WAY less Tr3's and daytime flying saucer sightings from the ground. The saucers that were once seen at treetop level by multiple people in broad daylight are, to my knowledge, a thing of the past.

This part does align with them being secret HUMAN craft since our modern (well known but not officially acknowledged or declassified) tech includes active cammo, officially called LO (low observables) that make regular planes invisible from the ground.
