    Is it worth saving?

    A friend inherited and old monkey wards consol ,it appears to be a 40 watt mono I would guess from the 1950's. I was able to glean from the interweb that it was made by Wells-Gardner & Co. but that's about it. The cabinet isn't much to look at and pretty beat but it can be had for free,he just...

    These look pretty sweet for $75 obo.

    I don't know a lot about Jensen but these look pretty decent,I'm tempted even though I don't need another pair of speakers at this time. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/664201620725294/?ref=netego_ssfy_www

    Fuse help please

    I think my HH Scott 208 amp has blown a fuse. I lost sound the other day,you could hear it very faintly and everything was still lit up on the 355 tuner/pre-amp. I pulled the slow blow fuse and it looks cloudy,pics below aren't very good sorry. I got a magnifying glass and the fuse reads BUSS...

    Just scored a Marantz 510M

    I think I did pretty good albeit a bit of a gamble. This baby was on eBay/Goodwill and local pick up only in Seattle. It's about a 3 hr drive to go get it but it appears to be in working condition. With sales tax included I paid $601.10,how did I do? This is from the eBay description: Used...

    Just scored a Nitty Gritty

    It was on "buy it now" at eBay for $325 with a lot of watchers and I among others got an email offer to sell it for $225. I counter offered with $200 and they accepted,I think I did pretty well,been looking at them for quite a while and they ask crazy money for these all the time. This one is...

    Trying to get my den organized at long last.Bought some cheap shelves off Craigslist and got my records and CDs and tapes off the floor. Shelved some of my components not currently in use and still have room for books. I still need to sort and alphabetize them but it’s a start. First I’m going...

    Took a spin up by the lakes this afternoon.

    I took Monday off this week as I'm starting a new job Tuesday,got some things done I had to do along with getting the lawn mowed then decided I needed to go get a six pack of my favorite brew. The closest store is 2 1/2 miles from the house but I took the scenic route which was closer to 40...

    Leave it on?

    I'm new to being a tube stereo owner and the question has come up from some friends as to whether I should leave it powered on all the time or shut it off when I done listening. Some people are saying it should be left on but I find that a little worrisome given it's a nearly 60 year old stereo...

    Goodwill finds

    I got spanked for "Goodwill bashing" last time I posted so I'll try to be more diplomatic this go round. I shop there fairly often or at least browse, usually I thumb through piles of Andy Williams and Slim Whitman records looking for something interesting and in good enough shape to buy given...

    K-horns tubes and solid state?

    So I often see the debate about tubes VS solid state but that's not my question. I've read tubes are warmer and have better sound quality (debatable for some) but high power solid state really cranks at higher volumes. I listen a wide variety of genres of music which got me to thinking. I...

    Hello Klipsch fans,just scored a set of K-horns tell me what you think.

    I've wanted a set of these for a long time and now that the kids are grown and other priorities taken care of I've been looking for an affordable deal. A few weeks ago I bought a set of Speakerlab K-horn clones figuring I probably wouldn't find a deal I could afford for a set of genuine...

    Since I'm bored I thought I'd post a few pics of my car.

    It's a bit of an orphan being a late 4th gen Camaro,it's a 2001 and 2002 was the last year made before the revival in 2010 and the new 5th gens. New car guys snub it because it's old and old car guys snub it because it's too new. lol I kind of like it because there aren't many like it around...

    What's best to clean the face of a vintage receiver?

    Hi all,it's been a long long time since I stopped in here. Life threw some curves at me so I've had very little time for this stereo stuff while getting life back in order. My old Marantz 2240 has been chugging along fine like the rock solid piece it is so I've had tunes but had to pretty much...
