    THORENS BTD-12s arm weight sagging

    Can anyone recommend a solution to address the tone arm weight sagging on a THORENS BTD-12s arm? I have the tone arm tube already removed and just want to know what is good to replace the original rubber insert that on mine is hard and badly cracked. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. George

    Thorens TD224 repair

    Shopper AG in Switzerland claims they know the TD224 inside and out and will do repairs and rebuilds. The only problem is it has to be hand delivered and they won’t ship it to you when it’s done. The claim is that shipping will affect any adjustments and it may not still operate properly when...

    I couldn’t believe eBay did this.

    That can work both ways. A buyer may pickup and pay cash. Then later discover something that wasn’t described in the listing. Since they paid case they have no recourse. Buyers beware.

    I couldn’t believe eBay did this.

    Good observation Sandstrom. The feedback is probably what instigated it. I didn’t think of that. The seller had no sales and zero feed back. Their sign up date was a couple of days before the item was listed.

    I couldn’t believe eBay did this.

    I placed an offer on an item and wanted to pick it up. I didn’t trust that the seller would pack it correctly and it would possibly get damaged. I said in the offer that I would pick it up if the seller would allow me too otherwise i wouldn’t buy it. The seller excepted my offer and my terms. I...

    Just Felt Magnitude 6.6 Earthquake

    I have the app on mine. Didn’t notify me. I think the warning is for a bigger quake. I’m in Los Angeles and movement was minimal but long lasting.

    remove rust from tapes

    It’s not rust. It’s the tape deterioration from age. It’s called sticky shed syndrome. Some tapes do it more then others. Their is a process that some claim restores the tape but I have my doubts . You can google it for more info.

    Anyone get phone calls from scammers saying you must call back @ 470-237-4648 Bill Baxter ?

    I never answer calls from numbers that aren’t in my contact list. If the caller really wants me they will leave a message. Some robocalls do leave messages though. I sometimes call back from my Skype phone that doesn’t receive any calls. The number I am calling usually doesn’t answer since their...

    Trying to ID old speakers lost in fire

    Trying to determine what the speakers are is just as difficult as catching wild turkeys. 3 way speakers with a passive radiator cold be anyone of hundreds of speakers. Good luck on your search.

    Yes! And wagons were no longer necessary for expansion to the west. Major Seth Adams wagon train master had to find a new job.
