    Display on Pioneer GR 777 not working properly

    I don't know if you're still working on this but I just picked one up myself and have the same issue. I believe this is the issue. Originally on a vintage unit this would be hooked to tape out- tape out is a set voltage output. If you try to connect this to pre-out they are variable via the...

    I picked up a 1934 Gibson-made Kalamazoo KG-11. I passed it up two different times before I realized it was worth the $12 They were asking for it. KG-11 means it was $11 back during the depression, today the going rate is $1,500-4,000

    Chicken parmesan with homemade marinara. This is a recipe I learned from a very well-known chef in San Francisco. The key is how much Parmesan you put in your breading, I like at least 30-40%, The pounded chicken and the breading both have to be seasoned. I spent 20 years working in fine...

    It has a "search function" That I've never saw before. If the tone arm is queued up when you press the search button the tone arm moves One direction. The next time you push the button the tone are moves back the opposite direction. Kind of gimmicky but I think it's cool

    6.5 lbs smoked salmon. Cured overnight then smoked with cherry wood for 6 hours with a guava/honey glaze. I FoodSaver vacuum bag them individually and freeze them, they're good for up to a year though they have no chance of making it that long.
