People that play guitars, banjo, etc. amaze me. I have tried several times and could not get the hang of it. No coordination I guess.

Re: Plenty To Do In Retirement
I am so sorry, Rex, so far retirement as not been kind to you. I sure hope someone can find something causing your problems.

Re: Magnavox Stereo Theatre - $100 - Florence, Ky.
That is a nice looker, it looks more Italian or French Provencial to me, maybe a little of both. I took a look at the download Maggie brochures, and I could not find anything that looked like this unit. I am guessing 1963???

Re: I.D. Changer and Console in FB ?
Well, I guess I was wrong, but they sure do look like a V-M from the top. Thanks, Ken, but I am not sure I should be thanking you for the rabbit hole with the Lafayette catalogs.
I found my first record changer in the 1968 catalog. I sure miss companies like Lafayette.

Re: I.D. Changer and Console in FB ?
I am pretty sure the changer is a V-M made for Admiral. Although I believe at one time Admiral made their own changers but I think that was back in the 78 era.

Re: YIPPEE!! Car show season starts with $5 gas
Gas here has dropped to $4.59 a gallon from $4.99 last Thursday. Around here we were told it had something to do with a refinery in Indiana. Not sure what the actual problem was. Also I heard because we are in a low crud crisis, our reserves are really depleted, the powers to be have been trying to ...

Re: Magnavox Windsor W/TV - $900 - Lawrenceburg, In.
Thanks, Danny, but that would be a great big NO for me too. I can never seem to find the time to work on what I have so bringing something else, especially that big and complicated would be foolish. Nice thought though.

Re: YIPPEE!! Car show season starts with $5 gas
OK, I think I hate you!, yours is just starting and ours is just ending. The last car show for this area is October 10 and is part of the Pentwater Fall Fest. It is usually a large car show with lots of eye candy to drool over. I just hope it does not snow!

Re: Wurlitzer--2d try
Nice box, Chris. I am jealous. I almost bought one once, I can't remember the brand, but its nickname was "Trash Can", but looked kind of like "R2D2" and played 78's.

Re: Sears Silvertone table radio, model 5021
Thanks guys, but a thought, if what you are saying about voltages and such, shouldn't the tubes red plate? So far no lightning/crash noise. I am also wondering if my noise is drowning out my radio reception and that is why I can no long hear the radio. No matter what, this is getting way above my pa...

Re: Sears Silvertone table radio, model 5021
Silvertone radio update: It still is not working correctly, and now, which might finally make it easier to find, the noise is so bad that I can no longer hear any stations. Flexing the PC board will/does make the noise change so now I am leaning back towards the PC/solder joints being the problem. F...
