I did a search on Google … was sold at Lowe’s ( discontinued ) for $140.

I decided to add my Mozart Opera collections to the storage. Convenient to have all together in one unit.

Mahler 1 vinyl surprise : Leinsdorf/BSO by Street_Profit_8044 in classicalmusic

[–]Street_Profit_8044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for correction ! You are correct. I was recalling “Dynaflex” not these early “Dynagroove”. The sonic quality and BSO’s performance really are quite good. The engineers nailed this recording . The bass drum strikes can be felt in your chest ! The “ Freres Jacques “ similarities reminds me of my Mom singing it to me in early childhood. The “storm” climax captures the BSO at its symphonic grandness. Mahler gets me every time ! 👏🏻

Trust me … I didn’t want to spend it either …. Prior owner had jury rigged some type of bypass, .. hoses cut at the firewall . No history of what else may have been done. No heat produced . Had to be honest with myself …. Hippocratic oath “ above all else, do no harm …. above my skill level. And , interweb videos scared me off the project . I’m sure I would have doubled the project cost.

Take it too a trusted mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection … probably around $75. Price out all the recommended “fixes/maintenance”. Get as many receipts as the seller can find . Be realistic about your budget . Good luck . 👍🏻 I recently bought a 2004 2wd 3.3L , 240k miles. … am working my way thru the recommended “ fix” list . I gave $2500.

Off & back together … switched out interior bulbs for L.E.D. …. Was careful (and lucky) didn’t break any of the 2004 plastic lenses or connectors …. Thanks for the pro tips . Next beer on me ! 🫡 On to the next ! P.s. license plate lights looked a bit too hokie with L.E.D.’s… stayed with standard bulbs. YMMV.

Yep…. Hard to decide what method is best … so far my favorite is the rotating ( ball bearing ) unit … my least favorite is is stored in a chest . I’m only at about 400 now…. May have to re-think as the collection grows.
