    AMMO availability

    I know that I am "shooting in the dark" here, but, I cannot find any ammunition. Either in a store or online. Anyone know of a source that actually has any quality ammo for sale? I get all kinds of email ads for various guns. But, an empty gun is just an expensive stick or a rock. thanks

    Chair seat weaving

    I have an "Old Hickory Furniture" porch rocker with a reed-cane bottom. I am going to need to replace the old caning. Yesterday I ordered some hickory splint material. Anyone ever do this themselves? Going to be my first one. Lead time on the material is 4 to 6 months. Only a very few people...

    Found a really nice record yesterday

    I stopped into a local store called "Vintage Stock", yesterday afternoon, to take a quick look through their used record bins. It had been awhile since I have looked there as I never find anything worth buying. Their stock of used LP's has dwindled down to just two partial plastic bins (maybe...

    The Beatles: Rubber Soul

    In my pile-o-records, I found a MONO pressing of The Beatles' "Rubber Soul". It does not sound very good on my turntables. I have set the receivers to "Mono" mode. But, the dynamics are just not there as with a stereo recording. Am I doing something wrong? Or, do mono recordings need a...

    KLH Model Twenty Three imaging

    While doing some TT switching around (sending out my idler for a retread), I decided to swap out my speakers. I have been listening to my Advents for several months. I like 'em a lot. But, My KLH Model Twenty Threes haven't been used for about 4 months. So, I hooked them up and was almost...

    Garrard emblem for Lab 80

    Just wondering if anyone may know a source for the Garrard emblem for a Lab 80? I had to build a new wooden base for it out of an old piano. Solid, heavy oak with a mahogany veneer. And while it looks nice, it just seems like it needs a little something more to set it off.

    How many have never used a 45rpm record?

    I have been listening to records since I was about 13 years old. So, for the last 48 years or so, I have never used a 45. Only albums. I guess it just wasn't the thing to do in my social group. Anyone else?

    Vintage Stereo Spotted!

    Started watching a Belgian detective series on PBS. It is in Dutch (but subtitled in English). Kind of a "Monk-Like" character. Obsessive-Compulsive college professor in Antwerp solving crimes. Not a bad show. Probably a lot better if you speak Dutch. Oh yeah, it's called Professor T...

    Re-Tipping stylus

    I have a few of questions regarding re-tipping a stylus: Can a stylus that has a conical be re-tipped with an eliptical? Are re-tipped styli "better" than buying a new one? Is this more for higher end cartridges? styli? Is the canteliever (sp) typically replaced at the same time? What does this...

    I am getting ready to order a new stylus for my R25EDT cartridge. TTN.com has the 760DED as the replacement for the original Shure Stylus for $29.00. With free shipping. I was wondering if anyone here has used one and what their opinion was? Are "BLISS" styli any good? I could also buy one...

    Any thoughts about the new Ted Bundy Documentary?

    Watched the new Netflix Documentary this weekend. Learned alot of stuff that was new to me. That guy was a disturbed individual, for sure! This saga occurred during my late teens/early twenties. Back then we didn't have any internet or cable tv. And, since the events happened so far from my...

    Rotation time this weekend

    It is supposed to snow and be really cold this weekend here. I am going to put my old Hitachi receiver and KLH Model Seventeens back in service. I haven't listened to the Hitachi SR804 for a couple of years, now. Haven't turned up the KLHs for several months. Going to give the SX1250 a break...

    Random Misfire on '90s models Chevrolet 5.7

    For those who are experiencing the Random Misfire Code on their older Chevys, I too had this problem. After researching, I determined that there were many potential causes. I first tried the simple solutions: Changed plugs, wires, cap. Got a little better. But it was still occurring...

    For some unknown reason, after being pretty happy with my gear (I thought I was finished with searching), I have an urge to check out a Tube Amp. I know virtually nothing about them. Never had any experience operating one. And, I am not saying that I am ACTIVELY looking (yet). Or, that I am...

    Is a Realistic R25EDT worth buying a new stylus for?

    Asking whether the R25EDT is worthy of a new stylus. I like Shure Cartridges. I have the M91 and the M95. I would like, someday to get a V-15type III but pricing is kind of out of my range.
