Re: Mustang plays tourist

South of you, Chris, the sun was out full today too and the colors on the trees were beautiful. It is really pretty when you get the reflection of the tree colors on Hart Lake. We have had two hard frosts in the last two night and I expect another one tonight. Once the frosts start the leaves start ...

No need to apologize, rules are rules and by not following the rules they are more likely spambots.

Re: GE Wellington coffee table, model RC 4842-A

It is interesting how light makes a huge difference on color. Looking at your photos again, the photo of the front of your GE looks maple but the photo of the top looks like walnut, even the grain of the wood looks like walnut. As far as heat goes, my GE RP-2060 does not get very hot. After a couple...

Re: GE Wellington coffee table, model RC 4842-A

Looking at your chassis before removal it looks just like the one in the GE Trimline 300 that Greg has and I have the same version in my GE RP-2060 which maybe a Trimline 300 without saying it on the cabinet. All GE units that I have dealt with had filter caps that looked just like yours. I believe ...

If it sounds anything like the GE wall hanger I did for the antique guy, you will be very pleased with the sound.

Re: GE Wellington coffee table stereo

I think so, although mine does not say Trimline 300 on it anyplace, it just has the RP-2060A model number.

Greg, I think you and I have the same model GE, actual model RC-2060A. Same tubes, same changer, same cartridge.

If memory serves, and it has been awhile, it was the 7189. Unfortunately, I do not have a schematic.

Re: GE Wellington coffee table stereo

It looks to be of the same era as another GE that I worked on for the antique guy and it was tube and had the same Garrard changer. Nice looking piece of furniture and with 6 speakers it should sound pretty good. A quick Google search and I found a similar looking model and it had a model number. Ge...

Re: What goes bad in record players with Pickering V-15 carts?

I am not sure I have a technique, Chris, but lets say you have a large chunk of solder holding a bunch of wires (common ground) to the chassis and you want to look original so you need to melt it. A low watt device will take forever to melt that. With a soldering station you can increase the heat an...

Re: "What's for supper, Grandpa?".....

Sounds good, Greg.

Chris, olive burgers are my favorite but a lot of restaurant's don't do the correctly. Some, just put chopped up olives on the burger and call it good. NOPE, you need to sauce to be correct.
