Welcome Kray! What turntable is that? Looks great! Nancy was a cool babe. Imagine having Frank as a Father-In-Law?
Hey Rob. Did your dustcover ever arrive?Its ok, the technical details can be confusing. I am still confused about Bluetooth, myself.
It would very cool to have the tuner. I listen to a fair amount of FM at home. Classical NPR stations mostly.Thanks Frank, I was not aware of his phono requirements but there are other receivers and integrateds that would meet his criteria and at great prices. I bought most of my gear from them and always had good service. I see that they have the matching Yamaha tuner for my system for only $179. I am debating whether if I should get it or not. It would look cool but I really do not listen to FM radio (except in the car), so I am having a hard time justifying buying it.

Got through about 1 minute and was still waiting for music. Never heard of it and if this is a fair representation of their work, I won't be listening further.
Thrift. The big Sansui is still there. 2 weeks and counting.

That's sooooooo weird.It cannot play both sets of 8 Ohm speakers simultaneously. To play two sets of speakers simultaneously, they have to be 16 Ohm speakers.
only thing in the electronics area of the local thrifts here is a sign. i suppose it means "if we DID have electronics, this little shelf space is where the broken junk would be." occasionally there is something there, but - true to form - >90% of the time, it's broken.When did thrift stores start using eBay to determine the value of something... Kills the entire hobby of Vintage, might as well just buy new and call it a day. I do enjoy the hunt, and don't mind paying up. Seeing a vintage receiver at a thrift store for 5 bills is a joke. They may as well close the doors and post to eBay. (I'm sure its posted).
Man, I remember just a few years ago, one could get on CL and key in "vintage JBL" and get a mix of many different good JBL speakers for $2-500 bucks. Now it seems as if everyone wants top dollar for any "vintage gear". I'm fine with it, but damn... at least know what gear you have and what the actual value of it is. It seems as if people see "vintage audio" its going to demand big bucks.
We need to start a thread on "people thinking their vintage gear is worth big bucks". I'd have many CL posts to submit. LOL
No, I had to email them and they responded yesterday that they ran out and are currently trying to obtain more covers from the Manufacturer. I guess I can wait, but it would been nice if they could have sent me an order status update.Hey Rob. Did your dustcover ever arrive?
It is a hospital benefit thrift with the $$ going to the local hospital and mostly older retired nurses and auxilliary women running the place.When did thrift stores start using eBay to determine the value of something...
