    Glass Audio Back Issues??

    I am not much better. I know what a turnip is. I don't think they taste very good, kind of bland. I grew up on a farm in Indiana. My Dad would grow them. Sweetcorn was much better!

    Pink Floyd - Who's your favorite: Gilmour or Waters

    I will Choose Gilmour. Has any of you heard a Richard Wright album titled WET DREAM? I think it is very, very good. Nick Mason has a album titled "Fictitious Sports" I like it a lot. It is just some crazy music, really fun stuff. I think all the music was written by a female. I think I...

    My Wife used to teach SAGE kids, the really smart kids. Parents were usually a bigger problem than the kids. Being able to pass a drug test is another big one.

    Sound Valves VTA 70 help

    I do appreciate your help. I ordered 10 ohm 1 watt and 5.6 ohm 1 watt metal film resistors for 8 and 9. Should I stick with the 3 watt? There is a fry's electronics here in Phoenix I could drive to easily. They are much like a Radio Shack but sell all kinds of stuff above what a RS is. I...

    Sound Valves VTA 70 help

    Hi Gadget yes, R8 died. I want to replace R8 and R9. The resistor I removed was a 3 watt. I don't get it. Not a lot of experience here. Why does the resistor on the board not match the resistor in the schematic? I did purchase a new matched set of Electro Harmonix EL34's and a matched pair...

    I have a few records and reel to reels. Some of the records were on the street to be picked up by the trash guys. I just could not let that happen so I adopted them. The Reels in the gold boxes are older than I am. I think they sound amazing. Some are marked Binaural. Kind'a cool. I have...

    Heathkit W-5M

    This is a amplifier my Dad built in 1958. I am really hoping that it has the better Peerless transformer. Will these components still be good due to their age? Looks like it might have some rare tubes too. Hope they are still good. I posted some pics of the SS! and SS1-B speakers he built too.

    Heathkit SS1 and SS1-B

    Well....It just might be my lucky day. There are several numbers stamped with ink on it. The only numbers on the side are what might be RP302 S or 8. I am pretty certain it is an S. There are numbers on the back too. R-104, 220646 and a smudged one that is ***02. Here are some pics of...

    Grafyx SP 10 speakers

    I am pretty sure it is a Jensen tweeter. You could start your own club. If you start it, they might just come to meetings.

    Sound Valves VTA 70 help

    OK, I cut it out of the amp. It says it is a Tepro 6550 15.4 ohm 3 watt, 1% NI. If it were a 15.4 K ohm resistor there would be a K there....Correct? It does not take much to confuse me.

    Heathkit SS1 and SS1-B

    I have this speaker set my father built in 1958, the year I was born. The smaller speaker does work but I think the electrolytics in the bass speaker is no good. The bass speaker is pretty rare these days The woofer is a 15 inch and has a huge magnet on it. Dad said that was why it sounded...

    Grafyx SP 10 speakers

    Thank you for the help. This is great news to me. While looking for a tweeter in my shop that I had removed from a Heathkit SS-1B, I found more Grafyx speakers. I have two ten inch woofers and four of the tweeters. I got them from Greg Danner a few years ago. I would like to build my own...
