    Hello from Florida

    Hi there from Florida! I love listening to physical music and want to decrease my reliance on streaming services, and in general love the feel of tapes, vinyls and CD's and how much underground stuff you can find (particularly Tapes and CD's). I started my journey buying cassettes from a guy at...

    Little Dot MKII Paint Job

    Though I'd share this. Pictures and resolution don't do it justice but we went for a retro vibe with the colours, style and font. It was achieved using House of Kustoms root beer candy paint as well as Max Meyer Paints Hope you like it!

    My Vintage AV corner

    Built this setup over the last couple of weeks. I upgraded my TV from a 1969 Sony Trinitron K1320UB to a 1985 B&O BeoVision MX2005 in white. Great set and finally one with a SCART input for a bit of a sharper image. The set is paired into some matching white B&O BeoVox CX50 which are speakers...

    Can anyone identify these old Wharfedale speakers?

    Here are some photos http://imgur.com/gallery/Pnp0lKB So I have these old Wharfedale speakers and wanted to know more about them, couldn't find any model markings on the speakers themselves, probably because the casing was pretty beaten up and worn. I looked online for an hour and couldn't...

    Help Pairing Vintage Technics SA-300 / Alternative to Klipsch Heritage's

    The old 'recommend a speaker' thread, thanks in advance. They should be efficient to make the most of the 35w x 2, and have good dispersion to fill up a decent sized living room by themselves at various angles. I'd prefer a modern but classic looking cabinet-- most all speakers now are tall...

    Grilles for FRM-1s

    Just checking back in, as it's been...a decade since last I'd asked. I have a pair, and only one of them has a grille (blue). GOD I would have loved orange. Actually ANY others. But in 10 + years I the have had the cabs they have yet to sustain an injury. Those days will come to an end...

    Old Hardware Nostalgia

    Inspired by the similar topic on one other computer-related forum, I'd love to hear your input(s), if any! Do you collect and/or remember old hardware? Do you still play any of the old games? If so which ones, and/or which ones you remember from back in a day? I'm primarily referring to PC...

    Project Thread: Let's take this '60s retro system to a whole new level!

    This is a 1960s Zenith Z565 Moderne Record Player and Circle of Sound speaker system that I just bought. Below are pictures of the actual system that I purchased. The system wasn't working when I got it because the internal fuse was blown. The seller told me he accidentally blew the fuse while...

    What is/are the most probable cause(s) of this TT problem?

    I'm looking at buying a very cool and very retro Zenith record player and speaker system. I'm guessing it to be mid to late 60s to maybe early 70s. It's the kind with the cylindrical speakers with upwards facing full range drivers and the inverted hyperbolic cones above them to disperse the...
