Ah! Even more-better!
Thanks again. Maybe I can get my act together and record some of these shows. He was a great host and very knowledgeable. Deep record collection too.

Clean Pio! Nice pix!
Thanks. My first Turntable in college. Took very good care of it all these years. Still spins perfectly according to my strobe.
Hi 78 collection was unreal, and his knowledge of that period of Jazz was impressive. I forgot what I read about the exact size of his collection, but the sheer size of it staggered my mind. @Old Guy8 and I were discussing it once and talked about having to put it in the basement due to the weight of that many 78 albums. But the number he had would not fit in my basement. I missed Jeff's show the first time around when he was still with us. Now that he's passed, I'm glad @CJRT brought his show back. Where you live you can probably get his show off of FM. I remember listening to CJRT once from Toronto driving to Erie, PA. I lost the signal for good when I got to about the point where the NY State Thruway ends at the PA Border.
Hey Billy,
Yeah, I'm a pretty frequent CJRT listener, but not constant/consistent, and Jeff's show has been on-again/off-again a lot over the last few years. I always seem to "miss the memo" when they schedule for rebroadcast.
It would be nice if they were made available as a regularly streamable or downloadable podcast.

Yo Batts, I adjusted my 1218 with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apkossa.rpmeter&hl=en_US
Pretty cool. Haven't strobed it for comparison but certainly sounds like it's where it needs to be.

HA! Why am I not surprised there is an app for that. Too funny. And here I am using the OLD FASHIONED STROBE method.
Thanks.
As I said I haven't strobed it for comparison yet, but I did use both my wife's Iphone 8 and my Blackberry and they both read the same.

I bet it's pretty darn accurate. Technology marches on. I don't worry about a tad off either side. And there is not much I can do with my Pioneer belt drive. You get what you get. Luckily it's almost spot on. My Yamaha direct drive has adjustment and I tweak it every few years.
Speaking of technology marching on, I'm glad to see I'm not the only BlackBerry user left. I have a Blackberry Passport running the last version of Blackberry 10 OS that will ever be produced. I love that operating system and the phone, but alas, the days are numbered. I doubt I'll go BB KeyOne (or whatever is available at the time) when I retire my BB10. I'll probably just go standard Droid and my iPhone. I'm addicted to Apple Music and like the way it integrates with iOS with Airplay, so I will always have an iPhone on my PERSONAL line. Business line has been Blackberry since about 2007. I'll miss it but technology marches on.
What app are you using on the 8?As I said I haven't strobed it for comparison yet, but I did use both my wife's Iphone 8 and my Blackberry and they both read the same.
