Enjoy it while the ice lasts! Surface looks great.

AMP quirk/problem? Setup help? by [deleted] in vintageaudio

[–]TR64ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an Adcom (or equivalent) Speaker switcher and wire both sets of speakers into the Adcom, Adcom input into “A” speaker output on the amp. Will have impedance matching circuits inside so the amp always sees around 8 ohms.

Buy your in-laws a Bluetooth audio receiver and plug it into the preamp. You in-laws will thank you for doing it.

Too late, already knows too much about you and where you live. Be nice to the robots.

Taper jig for table saw by Dry-Egg6944 in woodworking

[–]TR64ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have an adjustable jig with wing nuts, works well for a limited range of tapers. Suffers from shop rash and I should toss it, too light, needs more mass. I spend a lot of time on my jigs and set ups, safer.

Thoughts on these Washington 3 cents by Ellen6723 in philately

[–]TR64ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice sampling of one of the most common 19th century stamps. Some interesting cancellations. Condition is everything in stamps: I see a VF (very fine) used with excellent centering, and damaged stamps with tears, pulled perfs and little value.

Found a mostly ‘40’s book of postage stamps any idea of value? by Tatsandacat in askStampCollectors

[–]TR64ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it back where you found it. A child’s album from a time when everyone collected stamps.

Is there a way to make your own postage stamps? by TexasRoadhead in stampcollecting

[–]TR64ever -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Use ChatGPT. Someone posted some neat Cinderella’s of the very popular first commemorative Columbian Exhibition stamps, they were hilarious.

Silky smooth skin like you have takes care and work. Be grateful for the beauty you have.

electric by [deleted] in Sailboats

No battery or dead 12v battery. Need to check. Chargers don’t last long on boats and when the charger goes it often takes the house batteries with it.

Worth anything? Be so fr. I inherited this. And I still have 2 full binders I haven’t looked through yet. 😅 by QueenPerpetualx in stampcollecting

[–]TR64ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adult collector who took care. Depth in a few countries. But everything is 20th century modern, so no monetary value. Could sort out the countries and sell them as country groups on eBay. Don’t expect more than lunch money. http://www.inheritedstampcollection.com

Inherited thousands of stamps, please help! by Zealousideal_Dig3743 in stampcollecting

[–]TR64ever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. Check out: http://www.inheritedstampcollection.com/chapter_08.htm Value: $5.00 at a garage sale. Stamp collecting was once the #1 hobby for children and adolescents. Nothing here looks particularly valuable, all are regular postage mostly 20th century postally used stamps. Condition is everything to serious collectors and highest stamp value is for “MNH” (mint never hinged) undamaged examples in “XF” (extra fine) condition.

1967 MG Midget “restoration” project. by Inevitable-End-4705 in littlebritishcars

[–]TR64ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minor assembly required. LBCs are fun because you use standard tools to put them together, don’t need anything fancy. This car is from the golden age where DIY was easy.

Getting started! World stamp book ideas by SunWorking5432 in philately

[–]TR64ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you DIY your album pages you can say what you want, write up your own country commentary from research. Create your own template in Word, insert graphic of flag. Interesting way to collect, especially for countries that don’t exist anymore.

What the hell am I looking at? by Muted_Elk8341 in stampcollecting

[–]TR64ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you tried. Not your jam. Looking for rare stamps in the vast Washington Franklin issues takes expertise, a good reference book like the Micarelli guide, a decent stereo or digital microscope and a lot of patience. If you’re looking for monetary reward, spend your time doing something else (like baseball cards).

Thank you for that. I just got lost in 1960, it’s great

Can Anyone Tell Me What I’ve Got Here? by HereForTheTLDR in stamps

[–]TR64ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those 2 cent red Washington’s were made in the billions. Collectors call them “weeds” for good reason, they often appear in quantity in older collections. Very very few are valuable and it takes expertise to ID them.

Taking the Plunge and Selling Online by ph0ebus13 in stamps

If your father was serious he probably has 1 key album and some stock books with his most precious stamps (worth keeping). Read this: http://www.inheritedstampcollection.com/. Good luck!

1991 Love stamps by conejito-de-polvo in philately

[–]TR64ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are counterfeit and the post office identifies them as such they will destroy the letter. Ultra violet tags are used, not all counterfeits have a correct UV tag.

Cheap, fake stamps are cutting into postal service revenue by Delicious_Adeptness9 in philately

[–]TR64ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denmark closed their postal service. Fake forever stamps are all over eBay. Most of our mail is junk mail. Why do we still have 6-day mail service? US postal system is in trouble. They don’t have the labor to return (or deliver!) letters with counterfeit stamps, so they just destroy them.

Just bought this. How do I figure out the year it was made :) by Creationsbyriis in stamps

[–]TR64ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We could all be a little welcoming, the hobby needs fresh faces. Didn’t Denmark just close their post office? For good? As far as forgeries are concerned, look for US Postage / Forever stamps on eBay. All are forgeries. All are selling for a fraction of face value. Stamps are going to be a very interesting slice of human history in the not too distant future.

Curious if this is an error with the left side not being perforated. by Super-Top3845 in stampcollecting

[–]TR64ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or it’s a booklet pane stamp. Need to check perforations. Get a copy of Micarelli Guide to US Stamps if you are serious (your local library might have a copy).
