Pu wax paper between the blocks and plinth. Slowly apply...

    What Record Are You Hearing Now?

    Finally came across a nice grouping of Blues albums Garage saleing Saturday. It's been quite a few months since I found anything worthwhile. 50 vintage Blues albums 180. They looked very clean, but some mildew due to storage issues, (Fla). I'm just getting started cleaning, playing. My SO out of...

    Tweeter Array Information Please

    Thanks, That sounds like an educated guess, there are no markings on anything. I don't see the passives doing anything but muting the sound of the tweets.

    DIY solution for cleaning old vinyl?

    I've never heard of anybody trying Alkaline water in a cleaning solution. I hear it's a great cleaner, and soap is not necessary. There is a place near in Clearwater that sells it in different strengths for quite reasonable. Any resident chemists know if adding a few drops of soap, and alcohol...

    Fisher Roll Call: Whatcha' Got ?

    Thanks Dave, I have a small fan around here somewhere. I'm definitely short on space around here but there is certainly room for that fan next to it.

    Fisher Roll Call: Whatcha' Got ?

    My Brass Birdie. I'm finally a member of the Fisher Tube club. I might have overpaid, but this beauty sounds fantastic, mates rather nicely with my existing components, tube and otherwise. 1959 I'm thinking? So are my Jensen Stereo Directors. The year before I was born. Now that's Vintage!

    Jerk Chicken

    I had a Pimento tree I purchased locally I had in a large pot. I used to trim the green wood and add it to the grill. This is what they use in Jamaica to cook over. The same flavor can be obtained by buying bulk Allspice seeds, soaking a handfull in water, wrapping into a foil envelope and...

    Festoon Dial Bulbs for Mc Pre-Amp, Tuners and Tuner/Pre-Amps

    Well, this old carpenter figured out a way to mount flat ended fuse lamps 3 months ago and Now you come up with these!!! I did my MR78 and an MX113. It took hours of practice with my solder iron taped to the end of my hammer to get those blobs of solder centered on those little fuse lamps!

    Dumpster score

    I bought my MR78 at a large record store here in pieces, for 3, had to order new glass (lucky they had it!). Got it checked and aligned. I'm still short 2 knobs. I went back for the 2205 the next week for 5. Was missing the bottom cover which I found on the bay. Got a pot replaced. I thought I...

    Just looking for a short set of headshell wires...

    Is it a more Modern Thorens Table? Perhaps if you buy a set with very small (flexible) wires you will be able to roll them and they will tuck under the headshell without binding. Those boots that protect the wires from breaking also make them less flexible. Try some without the boots, and try a...

    Altec Segovia Speakers

    Audiosignal, I think the 4 Ohm draw on these is what makes them special. I have them in the bedroom with the Marantz now. They were bumped by my AR 90's. The Kenwood was in bedroom bumped by the Marantz. The Kenwood was my first big receiver, Full Re-cap. Very costly. It's a beauty, sounds...

    Learning about SUT's

    I just purchased a used Denon AU 320 on the auction site for my Supex 900 Super e+ for under 300. It sounds great but when I'm able I'll be going the custom made route. I'll be looking up Redboy for sure.

    Tweeter Array Information Please

    I'm hoping to get some information on this unusual Array of tweeters. Garage sale find, forgot I had them until cleaning out the back seat of my truck! They are 2 pairs wired in tandem, and the top is some sort of passive unit. I'm getting readings of just under 4 ohms. I've been unable to find...

    Altec Segovia Speakers

    I have the Segovias, Sorry to hear they didn't do you justice! My were really roached boxes but I re-veneered Mahogany, re-foamed. They have sounded excellent with my Kenwood Model Eleven III's, my Mc 2100, and are singing sweetly now with my Marantz 2285B. I think they were designed to compete...

    Found a Bigun'

    I finally got this cleaned, hooked up and tested. I ended up testing with my Marantz 2285B. It really has some booming, luscious sound. Yes, the tweeter is working fine. I wish I had a larger home! This looks to be a fairly simple cabinet to construct. I even have the Mahogany Veneer and...

    Found a Bigun'

    Yes, I found some info. This is the consumer version. 8 Ohm. I wanted to test it side by side w/ my Jensen Studio Directors, but that is 16 ohm tap on my Fisher ST 101. It's in original cabinet and all wired up not going in there. I'll dig out my Bogen AP 30. Can I damage the Bogen with only 1...
