Come on out to our get together on 3/21/2020 in West Boylston, MA.
About 2 hours from you.
 
I came across your 2019 thread about audio clubs in the Albany, tri-city area of NY. I'm wondering if you were successful in making contact with any. I live in Saratoga Springs and would be interested in participating if any were available in the area. I understand their is one in Mass somewhere? Thanks, Dave
 
For those of you interested Glenn runs a meet up of AKers in peekskill NY. It's usually towards the end of oct. Watch in the events & happens section. Under the heading Blue mt lodge. Hope to see you there.
 
Sorry can't help you with that I live on long island. If you can solder that might not be a hard job. You might get some help in solid state or general disscusion. Also welcome to AK

This sounds.great. I'll be there. Haven't seen any info in the events and happenings section. When will it be announced? I would love to check it out and get some ideas, so I could plan an event in the Albany area. Please keep me posted.

Hi DavEdd. Just saw this. I Ave a group page on Facebook. It's called Northeast Audio Exchange. Please join the group. I will keep everyone up to date on events coming up.
 
Hi folks,

I’d be interested in the Peekskill event if it’s still being run. I’m not sure who Glenn is but I’d be curious for an introduction as I live close by.

Another question - anyone know a good tech for 70’s receivers in the Hudson Valley?

Cheers,
Al
 
Glenn is member @GD70 . The last meet was in May, thread here.

Have you tried Hudson Valley HiFi in Cornwall NY? (No personal affiliation - they are a previous AK sponsor).
 
Hi all,

I’m not doing a gathering this October. The last spring meet had a very small turnout, though many said they planned to attend. Life stuff comes up. Those that did attend had a great day. I’ll see how next spring looks and what kind of interest there is. Considering the huge number of AKers in the tri state area, I would have thought the Peekskill Lodge meets could become a great, well attended gathering.

Regarding Hudson HiFi, the owner Mike is a great guy, but if you bring him your gear for repairs, it will take a while. We have an excellent tech, AKer Tom B. who lives in Bayridge Brooklyn. He’s fixed all my gear needing work. Highly recommend him.

Hi Al! Were you located? Always good to meet local AKers and audio heads!

Cheers, Glenn
 
Thanks for replying Glenn! I’m sorry to hear of the lack on attendance this spring. I’d definitely be keen to attend any event setup in our area. I’m in Beacon but work in Brooklyn, so anywhere from the NY boroughs to Albany would be easy for me. More than happy to stop by in Peekskill if you want to meet up :)

My late dad was really into hifi and passed this interest on to me. I mostly see this hobby as a way to connect with those memories with him. I’m also keen to learn how to repair and upgrade vintage gear. I’m a scientist/engineer by trade and enjoy the technical challenge.

What’s the user name for Tom B in Bay Ridge? I’m going to see if I can pay him a visit after work one day. I have two 70s era receivers that need work (Sansui 7070 and Yamaha CR420). I’ve tried to do some of this myself already, but I’m still new to the technical side of things and need some help.

Thanks again for the welcome, looking forward to hanging soon with some local AKers!
