My vinyl days are just beginning...
I just fixed up my Akai AP-B1 turntable tonight, tone arm adjustment and all. Outfitted it with a Stanton D51 cartridge and stylus that came from my much nicer JVC JL-A20. The JVC will soon be getting a new belt and the Stanton cartridge will be replaced with an Audio-Technica AT 92ECD. Then to adjust the tone arm on it. I can’t wait to hear what it will produce. I need to get more...

Reasons not to apply for a job...

Professional appearance required (see uniform standards)
Ability to multitask
Must be a team player with a high since of urgency
Ability to cross train in other areas as needed

Best places to get old film cameras and lenses?
Or where do you get yours? I know eBay has it all, but I like going through thrift stores and garage sales and finding things. Anyone had luck elsewhere?

I've finally got my shop in enough order to work...
My tools are neatly organized in my big Kennedy toolboxes and the workbenches are cleared off for the most part. Now to be anal about sorting all my nuts/bolts/screws/nails/small parts into their own little plastic drawers or snap boxes.

Recording another cover

If something’s delusional I’m not going to support it. I’m not going to support someone believing a lie. Ever. That shouldn’t be what makes you happy anyway. Happiness founded on a lie is a lie in and of itself. That’s not real happiness. It’s possible to be happy without being delusional. I don’t think there’s anyone in life that I fully support every thing they do or...
