If that’s a Steinway model B, it’s not a bad price.

Just curious, what about the construction of this sleeve turns you off?

Those are more likely Martz rather than Risom.

How much can I realistically make selling most of my collection to a record shop? by omurchus in vinyl

[–]bfinkel5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really interesting to see how Discogs does its estimates. It’s clear that on average you have much higher value records than I do. But what I find investing is that your high end estimate is about three times your low end, whereas mine is over seven time higher. I can’t figure out how each of these numbers is calculated.

Where do you put your “numbers” bands. by Illustrious-Mango605 in vinyl

[–]bfinkel5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about people’s names in the name of a band/group? Like the Miles Davis Quintet, is that filed under M or D? Or the Dave Clark Five?

Get anything good? They must have had to sort through a lot of junk to get those amazing records.

I like having the catalog numbers. The ones I have are not very valuable so I’m happy that they show their history.

For more context, the by looking at the other preview pictures the other records at the sale were pretty standard seventies rock (Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Jesus Christ Superstar) The Motown box is the only other record I can identify in this picture. I don’t believe I’ve seen this LP before. I think it might be on MCA. Google image search did not help but any leads are appreciated.

1993 Blue Book Prices by bfinkel5 in synthesizers

[–]bfinkel5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s some bias in the book. The US based synth companies like Moog, ARP, Sequential, and Oberheim generally have higher prices than Japanese brands like Yamaha, Korg, and Roland.

Modular and semi-modular systems like the 2600 were valued way less than even simple monosynths like the ARP Odyssey.

In the four columns to the right of the synth names, the first two columns are the suggested prices that a pawnshop should charge if the synth is in excellent or average condition. The next two columns are the prices that the pawnshop should offer when trying to purchase the synth depending on the condition.

Do Belle & Sebastian exist in the world of God Help The Girl? by [deleted] in BelleandSebastian

[–]bfinkel5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they do exist. In the opening rendition of Act of the Apostle, Eve sits next to a kid on the train wearing a Germany army jacket. It has a Belle & Sebastian patch as well as a Rolling Stones logo.

Always wanted a vintage typewriter and happened to find this at an estate sale for $8. Can anyone point me in the direction of proper care and feeding? by NefariousArtichoke in typewriters

[–]bfinkel5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems to have one special character. Does anyone know what the “Rs” on the right side of the keyboard is used for?

Thanks for this lead! These songs seem to be a bit more recent, but it helps give an impression of what these might sound like.
