    1967 1/2 Fender Twin Reverb question

    I've had this Fender for years and have done some research on it from time to time. It's a survivor! I know it's one of the very first silver face models with the silver drip edge , blackface internals and the rare "black straight line " markings on the left side of the volume controls which...

    Converting 8mm film to DVD or digital

    I came across a half dozen 8mm films I made almost 50 years ago in high school that I'd totally forgotten about. I'd like to convert them for viewing. I see you can buy your own setup by Wolverine on Amazon but it's almost $300. I'm a little leary of sending them out to one of those outfits...

    Sticky shed 456 and 207 questions

    Hi, My 10" reels have been in a climate controlled room since new but are all 35+ years old. I've read the SSS sticky above. I have a few NOS Ampex 456 which I understand suffer from SSS. Should I just unwind and discard the tape and keep the nice reels? Also I've read mixed opinions/info...

    Is this a Jico stylus for a Shure V15 IV?

    I bought this several years ago on the bartertown auction forum. I never really closely inspected it till a few weeks ago when I picked up a V15 III and IV cartridge. I thought it was a "Shure" brand but upon closer inspection it doesn't have any markings on it whatsoever and no silver or...

    Marantz 2270 volume pot differences

    I thought I would make this it's own thread as this comes up regularly. In the past I have noticed that on some of the earlier Marantz receiver lineup,in particular the 2270, it seems like you have to advance the volume control more to equal the same speaker level (using the same speakers)than...

    2SA1145/2SC2705 AU-X901 Transistor Sub?

    Hi, I have a very nice X901 in for restoration that the notorious Sansui corrosive glue has compromised quite a few nearby components. I have already pulled the caps and will pull some resistors. I don't like the look of the 2SA1145 and 2SC 2705 legs and would like to replace them but don't...

    Who Makes A Multiple Source/Amp/Speaker Selector Control Box

    2275 with rarely seen melted dial lamp housing

    I recently had a 2275 in for a restoration and was surprised to see a severely melted dial lamp housing. Usually these are found in 2325's but not 2275's so I thought I would post a few pics.... Closer inspection revealed that someone(maybe even Marantz) had used 300ma fuse lamps which...
