    Yeah I am styll alive, looking 92 in the face but COPD kinda limits my being away from the house for any real length of time before the battery goes flat and that is the so-called double sized battery but I will be with y'all in spirit. Have fun! I have a Yamaha K1000 cassette deck for which I...

    Earliest "Boom box"

    Yesterday during a Zoom conference, I had muted the big TV but left the picture on. I had been watching PBS and as the sound was off all I saw was this black and white clip of some young people, I am guessing Europe in the early 50s. One young woman was carrying this rectangular radio like...

    Yamaha repairs

    Having achieved the advanced age of 91 I can tell you all that there is no point messaging me for repair work. In fact I gave it up over six years back as my Florencia was still alive and she has been gone six years as of last October. Sorry.

    2021 Mid Atlantic Fall AK Gathering at Ohighway's. It's ON -- 10-17-2021 @ 12:30pm

    I realized yesterday that I can't be there because my portable oxygen machine battery is said to only last two hours. Frankly I have not even pushed it that far as yet so I don't know how true that is. I guess the bottles they left me were longer running but as they really ere not portable (not...

    Sorry to hear of both mother's passing though sitting here at 90 once you lose most of your faculties life loses much of it's charm. Well I am vaccinated and who knows may even have a booster by then so if the body is willing I might make it. Being almost from the generation ahead of all of you...

    Coming along quite nicely thanks, just as well as dragging 50 feet of air hose about behind me is a real PITA. Got the J&J vaccine couple of weeks back.

    2019 Mid Atlantic Fall AK gathering - Sunday Oct. 13 - 12 noon till 5pm. At ehoove's !!

    Minor excitement when we arrived Chez Moi only to see a Howard Co Police van in the drive. Apparently my son had misplaced my new cell number and had been trying to check on me and in the end called in the gendarmerie. Lucky we got there when we did as the Fire Department was on its way...

    Late to the party as usual. Thanks Jim for hosting the party. I got some neat LPs and really did not pay for all the standing about too much the next day. I have a bunch of Yamaha face plates that came off sets that were beyond repair, probably in the days before I learned how to etch new...

    Jim I really don't know but i has all switches, motors and I lapped the heads so they are in good shape. I also lapped the heads on the one I have so I know my work did not screw things up as that was a number of years ago.
