Thank you Manfred! I tried your advice and now it works just fine. I am listening to beautiful piano music now.

Hooking a Panasonic F65 carousel DVD player to an old Philips receiver. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hi Folks, I have a Philips 7841 AM FM Stereo. Bought a Panasonic carousel CD player at a pawn shop tonight for $25.00. Brought it home and connected RCA cables from the CD player to the Philips phono ports. I heard music from the CD player immediately. But it is unbearably scratchy and not...

An update on my stereo situation. I took the stereo back to the repair shop. The repairman said there was a couple of transistors that went bad. I had originally taken this stereo in to have it refurbished. He said it was complete and finished when I went to pick it up. Got home and the 3...

One of my co-workers put a ghost pepper on her tongue for a couple of seconds. The next day she came to work and it looked like she had a cigarette burn on her tongue. It also burnt her face and fingers. If adults want to try that stuff, it might be okay. But keep it away from children. And...

Appreciate hearing your opinion. Due to my experience at the repair shop. I think my vintage exploration will be limited. I will keep a couple of vintage receivers on hand. But I don't think I will start a big collection of items like some people.

I like vintage stereos with lights, meters, and various colors. Marantz receivers probably catch my eye the most. Then there are the Sansui and Pioneer receivers. A lot of JC Penny(MCS), and Realistic receivers that look nice. I have a Philips AH 4871. Would look very appropriate in a...

Thank you, Lonnie

An interesting thread. I would be happy with a couple of nice vintage receivers that work properly. I do have a nice Philips AH 4871 with Bose Speakers. That comes to $210.00. My Concord is in the repair shop for the second time. We will see how that turns out this week. Thanks for...

I do you a computer running in the same room. It is a desktop computer with a cpu. Never really considered that it might cause interference. But maybe you are right.

I want the best AM antenna possible. But I leave on the 6th floor of an apartment building with no yard. I do have windows and no balcony. I live in Springfield, IL. Would like to listen to WLM Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN, and the WLS in Chicago. Both are on the AM band.

I have one of those cheap loop AM antenna's. I will try that to start off with.

I think you are right. Money does not grow on trees. I also have boats and motors to spend money on, lol

I wonder what would happen if I connected the rabbit ears to the AM side. The receiver I am talking about is being refurbished right now. Should have it back this week sometime.

Sounds like a lot of work. It really requires an interest. I enjoy hearing from you. I see that you are from the Netherlands. I have been to Groningen and Amsterdam. Lonnie

Sounds like you had a lot of good items. Maybe you could keep at least one vintage receiver.

On Rabbit ear antennas there are two telescoping antennas. There is a also a wire loop at the base of the rabbit ear mount. What is a the wire loop for? Could that loop function as an AM antenna?

I use a set of rabbit ears from Wal-Mart. They work just fine. Here are two pictures.

The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, WLM Radio 650 AM. The receiver is a Philips AH 7841 with Model 21 Bose Speakers.

Never underestimate what a pawn shop might carry. I purchased a new tripod stand at Walmart. Then I found 3 more at a local Pawn Shop.

Listening to NPR radio network. Blues music and history of Blues.

Beautiful music! I appreciate hearing it.

Hi Brent, Welcome to Audio Karma. It is nice to see your interest in vintage radio. Let's keep it around as long as possible.

Welcome to AK! Listening to your childhood story of making a set of headphones sounds typical of those interested in radio.
