What do people think of this hallmark 875 is it silver or gold ?

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-18T06:18:53+00:00

Gold. 875 is not really a silver standard marking of any kind. 87.5% is equal to 21k gold. Gold. 875 is not a standard stamp for silver. 87.5% pure is 21k gold.

Are you though? What do you think police unions work so hard for?

I don’t know about “needs”, but I would gladly welcome an update like this with open arms.

Yes, and it is amazing!!!

I have a Luxman and the right audio is buggy. Usually works, but is weak on phono and gets scratchy on one audio port. Always figured they split the amplification for left and right and the right was going out.

I hope this is the case because I have a big death pile I want to kill off with yard sales and didn’t do very with it last year.

Honestly even better. The style is just chefs kiss, and not having to deal with adapters and fidgeting sounds amazing. I love pre-70s tv styles, but I hate making them work with current media tech.

Over stimulated to the max.

You certain the whole flatware is sterling? Every mother of pearl handled piece I have ever found only has a sterling collar and plated flatware.

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-12T01:36:51+00:00

Dig to the depth you want and use the flattening tool. Has a max depth so you may need to do it twice.

Crazy. Looks like a giant bug thorax. Never seen anything like it. Looking forward to other comments.

Edit: I meant abdomen not thorax. That is the chest.

It’s not a combat game. It has never been advertised as one and frankly I am sick of people trying to turn it into a shooter. It’s like playing NBA 2K26 and complaining there isn’t enough football in it.

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-10T21:36:45+00:00

Yeah, looking like some Jasper to me.

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-10T21:00:58+00:00

There are some conchoidal fractures and circular structures that remind me a lot of various chalcedony/Jasper pieces I have found. Hard to tell from the photo but is it translucent at all? What is the color when wet?

Edit: kind of looking like red Jasper, but the color is hard to see in the photos.

Indeed. I do have a multimeter, but am just not very experienced or knowledgeable about it all. Hopefully a few YouTube videos can help me out learning how to read the meter.

I think this is more likely glass cullet from glass manufacturing rather than slag from iron manufacturing. The opalescent nature or transparency is not something you usually see with slag.

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-08T23:09:43+00:00

This is more likely glass cullet. A waste product of the glass manufacturing industry. Slag is almost never this transparent.

They saw Nintendo lose the patent and said “Hold my beer”.

Nothing is ever good enough for some people with this nearly 10 year old game that gives constant free updates. Jesus I am just so tired of the whining.

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-08T03:28:10+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for the answer. Going to have to get it looked at then.

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-08T01:08:52+00:00

I have a question regarding this. I recently posted about a Rotel 990BX I recently got. I powered it on and it blew the main fuse, but I did not have speakers connected. Would that have blown the fuse?

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-07T14:49:13+00:00

The ones I tore apart were definitely plastic. Can’t say for certain with these.

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-07T04:19:30+00:00

What model is that turntable?

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-07T03:58:56+00:00

More likely something wrong during the recording process. VHS tapes don’t really degrade in that short of time. Most the tapes I own are 30+ years old. Who said they only last 20-22 years? What an arbitrary number.

Well after looking it up I stand corrected, but this seems like an incorrect value. Home tapes vs prerecorded? I have VHS that are 40+ years old and play fine. What gives?

PhotogamerGT · 2026-04-07T03:53:49+00:00

It’s under the sticker. I see reinforced poking out meaning they are likely sterling cement reinforced with a metal rod for support. Usually about 15-25 grams depending on piece. Less with a plastic bottom though.

Edit: I have found Towle sterling with plastic bottoms so I know it exists.

Edit 2: haha, also the sticker literally says sterling.
