    Proton anyone?

    Late, late here but I just got my D940 from the shop. It received a thorough cleaning, a new 'speaker relay', a few solder joints redone and some corrosion cleaned up. The tech. told me the corrosion from from the wrong glue. Then who knew folks would want it working 30 years later! It plays...

    Asking value for Onkyo components?

    Well, bummer that. I would never nab something that I thought was spoken for. Still, there's a lot of good stuff around. I have chased a few dead ends too over the past year, drove 60 miles to look at a receiver that was, well, not in good condition, bought a turntable that went dead on me...

    Asking value for Onkyo components?

    Really? He never mentioned anything like that to me.. He had been burned several times by folks who showed up and tried to low-ball him I could tell that he was a little cross-threaded about that. Tommy

    Asking value for Onkyo components?

    Thanks! The seller was a great guy. He said that THREE other parties had come to look tried to low-ball him in person. He is a retired engineer so we talked shop a while, my being a mechanical engineer.. He also builds speakers and had some downright incredible equipment! Tommy

    Asking value for Onkyo components?

    Sit-rep; Well, I chased another turntable that seems to be DOA (perhaps will part it out or something) Not much else happened for a few weeks, until yesterday when I received a FB-marketplace notice that the seller changed the price. I contacted him, drove to his house (all of 2 miles from my...

    Hello from Arkansas..

    Greetings from Little Rock. I grew up in Sunshine, about 15 miles west of Hot Springs (when Sunshine Rd aka hwy 227 was dirt!). I am no kind of guru here, mostly read and learn. There are some really knowledgeable and helpful folks here. Welcome, Tommy

    Technics SL-10, bad CPU chip... parts out? reuse cartridge? advice requested

    I spent a little while messing with the turntable this afternoon. After messing around with the controls, the arm/cartridge moves across the record surface. The record turns, seemingly at a fairly stable rate, per my tired eyes on the center strobe thingy. However, the needle will not lower...

    Gym membership

    I hear you well. My mention of being 2 years out of the dojo is just that. Our traditional Okinawan karate school closed, the teacher going back to college full time, etc., understandable but sad. I have visited a couple in the town I live in now, and the "fit" def. is not there for me...

    Name the LOUDEST concert(s) you have attended, (venue does not matter)

    I mentioned Krokus being loud Then, the prev post about being close to the stage reminded me of a show that gave me dulled hearing for what seemed days. Some of my goofy friends and I rotated shifts in the ticket line for about 48 hours, and by golly we got our front row seats, right against...
