Yes, when reminded of our departed parent by some little thing, we get very emotional.

It's a time for happy tears...

Five years?

Seems like 5 minutes...

Mine is a radio-phono combo. The TT isn't functional, but the AM & SW work OK. Someone ahead of my ownership did a recap, but it now needs the switches treated with Deoxit.

If anyone local wants it, I have a working chassis & 12" speaker from a '41 (same chassis) for free. I can ship it for cost, too.

We all look back and...

It hasn't happened yet...

Miracles will never cease!

One thing virtually unknown about 78s from the late 30's on was there were two types produced for virtually every hit tune: Direct to disc for broadcast distribution, and consumer records done with audio compression mainly to prevent groove jumping on loud passages. Radio stations got those discs, a...

My "Country" stuff ends about 1955, with a lot of pre-war 78's. I don't remember if I posted a foto of my audition system for them. Starts out with a modern QRK multi-speed TT with a vintage GE VRII mono cart & 3 mil diamond. Then into a vintage Presto amp, University crossover, and on...

Now you'all are really pushing my buttons!

That style of post-war Maggie was one of the best engineered models ever built by them.

Powerful PP amplifiers, with full audio spectrum tuner designs, speaker systems to match.

Every tube tester photo I see makes me think of an old Rodriguez cartoon in Popular Electronics.

Some guy was in a 60's store watching a ball game, on a CRT & a whole bunch of tubes stuck into one of those DIY testers.

The manager yells at him "One tube at a time, buddy!"

Wrecking yards out here have been fertile grounds for restoration projects.

They've been known to sell a stripped & battered muscle car residue for $20K, maybe even a title.

When I was in single digits, our '48 Ford coupe and '47 Chrysler Windsor were both totaled by being rammed at speed by a Chevy Nomad at speed, in front of our house. It looked like the coupe was mating the Chrysler. :shock: Pop found a very nice '55 Plymouth Plaza wagon that soldiered on for many ye...
