Glad you're here, Rebecca!! Good to see you preserving & using that bit of family history...it's gotta sound nice. My trusty crystal ball sees a turntable in your future.....

Right now I'm using a Sony ps-4300 turntable...and a Sony CD player from 1992 that skips if you look at it cross-eyed 
The turntable seems solid enough but if I'm going to buy anything in the near future it would probably be a new turntable. Find it difficult to get too excited about CD players...

Welcome! That's a nice setup for your teeny little bedroom. That's a nice setup for any room!
There are a lot of great people on AK, and in New England, as you've already learned.

Welcome! I wish I could inherit a cool old stereo like that but the only thing my mom had was an old ss Zenith console. I may end up getting it anyway since it is sentimental to me. I do have a couple old John Deere tractors and old old Model T Ford my grandpa left me to fart around with though.

Welcome aboard! :thmbsp:
You have a nice gear combination there, one that many other AKers have had (or have) and like.
And yes, octopi are quite intelligent. They actually have some problem-solving and tool-using intelligence, and are probably a bit smarter than even cats. It took a long time and some clever experiments for people to discover this, because an octopus is so different from us that we lack all the usual clues such as facial expressions and sounds, but the evidence is quite compelling: it's a clever creature! Probably a by-product of the kind of nervous system needed to control that many flexible arms, plus to stay alive as a tasty but somewhat slow treat in an ocean full of predators.

Checked all of the caps and they all seem to be fine. We had just replaced the 2 largest ones in the power supply and ran several smaller ones through an ESR meter, which indicated that they were performing as they should be. I could take a picture of the power supply and maybe you'll see something I can't? It was indeed about as loud as a handclap.
We replaced the original caps with ones rated for a higher voltage although I'm unsure of the difference between them.

Fish fingers and custard!
A picture would be good. Also make sure the ones you replaced are in the correct polarity. If they are put in backwards they usually explode.

Slight hijack, but when I was kid, we went to the old oceanographic museum on the coast, and there was a small octopus in an open tank that had figured out that it could pinch off the air tube, let the air pressure build up, then release the air in huge bubbles that could splash you if you weren't careful.
