    Goodwill/SA/Thrift Store Discussions & Finds

    Very cool! I have the same system in my bedroom. Can't tell from the photo but mine has the cartridge that flips over to play 78's (which is exactly what I do because I have about 10 of them). Works like a charm! thanks for posting.

    Goodwill/SA/Thrift Store Discussions & Finds

    Could be audio related. Never know what I will find at thrifts. Found a set of 50 very small drill bits for .99. I don't have any this small. And I bought several of the (4) 4" legs with mounting hardware for 1.99 ea. I thought these would work nicely for certain speakers.

    Montgomery Wards Airline Stereophonic AM-FM 8-Track System. Bought at a Garage sale awhile back. Works nicely with good sound. Needs Stereo Light and Dial light(s), but belt is still going strong! Has 12V for Auto/Boat, AC cord or 8 D cells. The speaker beside it is on its own 8' cord for...

    Questions about this old 8 track tape I bought.

    Yes! the 4 track plays in my 8 track player. I've learned so much in the last 48 hours. The roller assembly that was installed is called a "Gidget". It plays well, but not perfectly. The pads inside are very worn, but I was able to listen to Blue Cheer and it is a very good tape. I can't believe...

    Questions about this old 8 track tape I bought.

    Yes, I think your right. I think this has been modified to play in an 8 track player! It does have a pinch roller in the case just above that metal tab and that would explain why the corners are cut off. I'm gonna go for it and test in my player tomorrow. I will report back!

    mhardy6647 Thanks for the reply. Any ideas about the shaved off corners? Will it play in my 8 track player?

    Questions about this old 8 track tape I bought.

    Picked this up a while back. It was in a case with 10 tapes inside. I glanced briefly when I bought it and most were John Denver and Christmas music so I set aside. I was checking it out again and this tape jumped out at me. It does not look like the others. It is a Philips clear case with this...

    Can you identify what model JBL speakers?

    Thanks for the input. That is why I check here first! You are all correct; they were not JBL but ElectroVoice. Popped up on FB last night and I thought I found something. I passed when seller said his dad had told him they were JBL's. He still did not say what model EV's (Not hard to look at...

    Moonage Daydream David Bowie Documentary

    I went to see this film last night in Imax. Wow! First off- it was loud, and I like loud music, but it was extreme! The movie was like a punch in the face – sometimes in a good way. If I had to describe it, I would say that it was like injecting 1970’s Ziggy Stardust/David Bowie straight...

    Marantz 2238 Stereo Light Problem

    OK, thanks for the responses. The lamp is regular not Led. It never worked since I had the unit. While I had the bottom off already, I checked voltage between the two pins and I got 10.25v. I checked my lamp with a 12v battery (thanks runningdog) and glows nicely. Crazy. So I checked the same...

    Marantz 2238 Stereo Light Problem

    I have a 2238 (not b) that needed several new lights. When I put in the new Stereo indicator lamp I can't get it to work. I thought maybe it was a bad bulb as I had it already so I purchased a new one and same result. Any ideas? I know it should work on Aux (CD player) and when a FM station is...

    Marantz wood case question

    I have a new to me 2238 that is in outstanding condition except for one thing. The metal screen is very loose from the wood case. Just wondering how this was attached from the factory. Was it just a snug fit that has come loose over time or was there glue or some other fastener I'm not seeing...

    Allied Model 395 controls

    I have seen a few vintage receivers, but none so far with this speaker selection/switch. The switch has 6 positions, so how does this change the sound? Does this balance the sound more to one side? I might be missing something simple here. I have not hooked up 4 speakers yet and...
