    Looking for Good Rats - Tasty

    Does anyone have a copy of this LP that they'd be willing to sell or trade? I had it years ago on 8-track and that's long gone. This was one of my favorite albums when I was a teenager and I'd really love to have a copy in my collection. Thanks in advance!

    Astro Sonic speakers aren't connected....HELP!!!

    I just got a really nice Maggie console, but I have a problem- someone has monkeyed around inside and disconnected all of the speaker wiring. How do I hook up the speakers? The schematic I have isn't very detailed and doesn't really cover the speaker wiring. I'm mainly a tube guy so solid state...

    I saw Sonny Burgess in concert last night....

    And I must say I was totally blown away! He put on a great 2 1/2 hour show. For those unfamiliar with Sonny, he started his recording career in 1955 at Sun Records and recorded some of the wildest rockabilly records ever released. I got to meet him and his band (The Pacers) after the show and...

    I can't believe the things people will steal!!

    It never ceases to amaze me what people will steal if they get the chance. Yesterday my wife and I were doing some house cleaning and after I cleaned out the cats' litter box, I left it on the porch as both cats were outside. When I went to get the box to fill with fresh litter, it was gone...

    Scored two nice Sonys today!

    A friend of mine called me yesterday about a Panasonic karaoke machine that he needed me to work on for him. I've worked on audio and video gear for him several times over the years, and he knows I like vintage stuff. During the conversation, he mentions that he has two old RTR decks and would I...

    My newest project and new transportation...

    I recently bought a car and a truck from my landlord/employer. I wanted something out of the ordinary to take the place of my beloved Corvair and I lucked out! Got a '61 International C100 pickup and a '59 Rambler Cross Country station wagon. The price was right ($300 for the truck, $350 for the...

    Onkyo Problem

    I just got a Onkyo TA-2060 cassette deck, I can't complain about the price either, since I found it on the curb:banana:. Cosmetically its a 10, and all functions work properly with one exception, the deck plays at slightly more than half of its normal speed.:sigh: I know this is a direct drive...

    My van just got totaled

    :sigh: I parked my '62 Corvair van out on the curbside outside of the trailer park I live in today, and 20 minutes later my landlord comes running to my place to tell me that it was hit.

    Panasonic S-85 Problem

    Yesterday I bought this unit from one of the local thrift shops. It is 100% complete and original and in great shape cosmetically. There is one small problem, there is intermittent static coming through the left channel. I first thought it was a problem with the speaker, but I've eliminated that...

    My best tape deck score ever!! Revox A-77

    I was in the right place at the right time today. A friend of mine who owns an auction barn with a huge bunch of vintage gear stashed away needed my help today. He had a rack-mounted series of 4 studio rtr decks which are designed to be synchronized that were slightly out of whack. I took a...
