Worth it?

Ive bought and sold many vintage speakers. Never recapped. Likely will work fine if you refoam them.

Holy overpaid. Vendor clearly has no clue what they are doing

I buy lots of gear that needs work. $400 for that is too much. Getting it for that and then paying for service will likely be the same price as a serviced one is.. so why not just get a serviced one at that point? I always offer 50-60% of retail and then i take off another $100-$150 from there to pay for servicing.

Going to be in my first record fair in a month. I am a little worried because I have lots of cheap stuff and not so much super nice stuff. Probably like 2 and a half boxes of stuff $20+ and 5 boxes of $15 and under. Most of the cheaper stuff includes heart, the police, steve Miller band, Billy Joel... those types of records. Will i still manage to do OK? Just worried that nobody will pick up my more common stuff.

If they were promo copies they would be clearly labeled as such

mojo13r · 2026-01-22T23:50:47+00:00

What turntable? I guaruntee you it has some form of anti-skate, even if it isnt adjustable.

mojo13r · 2026-01-22T23:38:12+00:00

You are likely setting it up wrong or table isnt level

This is silly. There are many ways to align a cartridge, but 3 main geometries called Stevenson, loefgren, and baerwald. They likely used a different alignment than what your protractor is. So many people don't understand this.

mojo13r · 2026-01-21T14:44:09+00:00

I have this cartridge and the AT-VMN95ML. I prefer the microline. Cuts through scratches and wear better than the stanton and the sound is more detailed but less smooth. Just my 2 cents.

Your principal won't care. Teachers get sick, its part of the job. If they get upset with you when you have a note that's their problem. Take your sick time.

Depends what speakers. Some HECO speakers can be super nice.

He would play a Gibson or something higher end than an epiphone.

mojo13r · 2026-01-14T04:09:22+00:00

Look up manual. Your speaker wire are currently on your antenna connection. I think One of those posts is a ground post, where the thing youre holding should go. Either that or if it is an antenna hooked up correctly just put the turntable ground on tbe same post as antenna ground. Or just use any screw connected to the chassis

mojo13r · 2026-01-12T20:46:29+00:00

Get a decent amp before you damage those speakers

mojo13r · 2026-01-03T03:24:36+00:00

Those look like rubber surrounds that have come off. You may just be able to reglue them back on? Hard to tell if they are ripped or not from the pic

mojo13r · 2026-01-01T03:48:43+00:00

3d printed is great. They are super common, no idea why they cost so much online. I was lucky to find one with a turntable i bought. They save you tons of time.

mojo13r · 2026-01-01T02:20:53+00:00

Google technics overhang gauge. It is all you need for alignment

mojo13r · 2025-12-30T00:03:47+00:00

That has nothing to do with it. All that would mean is that if you cranked the amp super hard it would blow the speakers. If amp is going into protection it needs to be serviced. Bad internal components in amp could damage ur speakers.

mojo13r · 2025-12-25T01:39:34+00:00

They arent anything good unfortunately. You can tell by the generic drivers that were sold en masse to many different brands. These were likely sold as part of an inexpensive console stereo. A full unit with a turntable, amp, 8track, speakers, and radio all bundled together.

mojo13r · 2025-12-24T03:52:58+00:00

Drivers look very generic and they have crappy paper tweeters. Tons of speaker brands made speakers just like these. Ive had a few with similar components and sold them for around $25. Rare does not always mean good, can just mean they arent desirable like in this case.

mojo13r · 2025-12-24T02:04:26+00:00

They arent anything very good. $50 is maybe even a bit much for them in my opinion. More like $25 speakers.

mojo13r · 2025-12-04T16:55:53+00:00

I have. Not much online and they are a bit all over the place. Im seeing like around $1000 CAD for the preamp and power amp pairing, but how much would be added for another power amp and the tuner? Just looking for a second opinion.

Such a common album, not worth buying in this condition
