    Scored a cool GE RC-1671 console w/ Garrard Autoslim TT. What now?

    I got this cool GE console w/ Garrard TT for $20 at an estate sale. It's nice and well-kept, and mostly in working order. Especially nice for playing 78s with the special stylus! Only problems are finicky speed selector and broken 45 changer spindle. I've replaced the latter. Wondering what you...

    GE A1-400 & Signet 10 Network Streamer

    Posting for anyone with a GE A1-400 and dreams. TL;DR it's worth a build! I was at a thrift store earlier in the year and I found a big old speaker. The cabinet was heavy and made of solid hardwood (not veneer), and when shined my cell phone flashlight into the grill cloth I could see...

    Kraco 8-Track Reborn as a 4 Watt "Germanium Bake King"

    I've been a bit obsessed with Germanium transistor amplifiers lately. They seemed to be very odd and mysterious things- exotic sounding elements in cryptically numbered long discontinued unobtainium packages, lurking about in funky nerdy cabinets, consoles and 8-track players, long ago...

    Need help, re: GE RC 4231 A stereo turntable speaker producing bad feedback. Suggestions?

    I have my grandpa's stereo that has great sound from the left-hand speaker (if you're looking at it from the front) but the right-hand speaker is almost nonexistent. So I decided to take the back off, take a look inside and see if there was anything I could tell to fix this. The two electronic...

    Context: I have this old boombox and there is a clutch assembly used only for fwd/rwd. The assembly itself consists of 2 gears with the top gear pressing down on the bottom gear using a spring, and there's felt in between them for the slippage. There's a central pin going through the gears, and...
