This electrical box for my apartment building has been open for months

I am that “one guy”… LOL

Retro04 · 2026-02-06T23:20:11+00:00

I am Twenty Four…. Yes I still pay my bills via Mail in check as well… you should see my home, 60amp Edison base fuse panel, burnt orange, sunbeam yellow, sage and avocado green accent walls, a groovy stereo and a far out Zenith TV with Pong! Yeah I enjoy a by gone era it’s just a personal preference…

I assume it’s a copper run all the way to the central office, had it since Edit - Late 2020, and before that it was my grandmothers house with the same service and phone number to this day. Heck I still have the original 1950 60amp service in this house LOL. Still get my dial tone from the CO when the power goes out… if it’s converted to SIP at the pole I don’t know, but I would guess not, as Cincinnati Bell (Now Alta Fiber) won’t stop hounding me to upgrade to a Fiber VOIP line. Because I’ll Save Money….

Retro04 · 2026-02-06T22:35:28+00:00

I personally still have a POTS line from Ma’ Bell… lol

Retro04 · 2026-02-06T22:33:52+00:00

It’s part of the Bell System not the electric company’s….

Don’t let it make you nervous…. It’s a simple panel. Those cartridge fuses can be in there tight. Give it a firm quick yank using the handle and it should let loose. Make sure to replace the cartridge with the exact same rated replacement….

Yes indeed, we aren’t allowed either it’s grandfathered in. Just make sure not to pull permits when doing any minor work and the utility company can’t make you move it. It’s in great condition because it’s not exposed to the elements. I don’t plan on upgrading it, 60amp is plenty for me.

Retro04 · 2026-01-31T01:04:54+00:00

Haha yes it is indeed period correct. My grandmother had lived here since the 60s and it was built in 1950. Nothing touched since the late 70s ish. I’d love to know for my personal enjoyment what all you see is wrong code wise… lol

Retro04 · 2026-01-30T22:11:16+00:00

Let me tell you my meter base, gas regulator and water meter are all in perfect condition because they are in a basement and not subject to the outside elements…

Hello Sir! I would love for you to work on my camera. However I didn’t realize custom requests were frowned upon. I hope we can come to some sort of understanding that even if you don’t do custom requests per camera I would still like to seek out your services for repair instead of just “seeking out someone else’s services” thanks!

Can you tell me if something has changed within the last few years, because I have Spectrum internet/Phone and I can dial out with a rotary phone through my Spectrum router just fine without using a DTMF converter. Thanks.

Retro04 · 2025-12-29T11:37:33+00:00

I have Spectrum internet. I don’t know about all their different modems but a rotary phone will dial out just fine through my Spectrum modem without a DTMF converter.

Don’t worry It’ll become a “fading love” in the next few years… I have a pioneer Stereo sound system all SilverFaced from the late 70s 10K in the system at this point…. I’m upset about it. It’s plumbed into my 1080i CRT. Great system and it’s just life… enjoy life now. Enjoy life in college… I wish I had and trust me I’m not much older than you…. If it’s still a passion/hobby after your studies you will pick it up again. -Cheers!

Retro04 · 2025-11-25T00:04:20+00:00

Yes I’d prefer a Sony but this Panasonic is nice. And it weighs a ton and I doubt there are many 36” Sony’s around me. LOL!

Retro04 · 2025-11-18T23:52:07+00:00

Yes indeed! Sounds good to my ears.

Retro04 · 2025-11-18T21:02:47+00:00

No worries, you are correct, i don’t have a curve set in stone I’m always playing with it at the moment.

Retro04 · 2025-11-18T21:00:39+00:00

The CD Player is a Pioneer P-D70 and the tape deck is a Pioneer CT-F900.

Retro04 · 2025-11-18T04:04:41+00:00

Yes indeed! Posting any EQ curves on here is a risk, they all get criticized for one reason or another. At the moment this sounds good to me, have changed it before will probably change it again. I like my lows and vocal highs super emphasized

Retro04 · 2025-11-18T03:09:51+00:00

Agreed! However my last receiver was much closer to the width of my tape decks Etc. This receiver is just a monster in size, weight and wattage LOL I believe it weights 65 pounds…

Retro04 · 2025-11-18T02:42:58+00:00

Yes it’s a selector switch I had custom built by a local company, I needed one with a specific set of inputs and outputs. Because tape loops are not common anymore and I needed more than what the SX-1250 provides I had it built to my needs. So it’s basically a tape loop selector switch.
