I finally found the tuner to complete my seventies Onkyo system. There are two turntables connected also. Onkyo made great stuff, but it flies under the collector radar. I only had to give $11.35 for the tuner and it's like new.
Keeping the old stuff running requires some work. This high end cassette needs belts. I have five complete vintage systems set up,so it's always something. I enjoy doing it.

I wish I had the aptitude to work on this kind of stuff.
It's not up my alley I'm afraid.

What happened to her left arm? The skin looks deep fried. Other than that, everything looks pretty tip-top!

If you look in the background, it looks like she's in a bakery warehouse with bags of flour or something...

She's badass on the piano-
I first knew of her as the boogie woogie piano playing little girl from Twin Peaks.

I built one (from a kit) for my kids. Even my cat Skiddy got into the act once in a while:

Just heard this dude do a Lohengrin here in Amsterdam on friday. It was amazing.
https://youtu.be/f_wH7zbGWpo And then I went to see Star Wars this monday. John Williams did some major league notes taking while listening to Richard W., that's for sure.

This video is fascinating in viewing the complexities of wildlife. Some may find it mildly disturbing. I don't think of woodpeckers as predating on other birds.

OK, vintage music lovers, check out these Ben Hamper radio archives. Hamper is a pretty interesting Michiganian - you can read up on him on Wiki if you are inclined.
His broadcasts come in 3 flavors (that I know of):
1. Early R&B Soul Possession series.
2. Early country/*****tonk/rockabilly Head for the Hills series.
3. Michigan garage rock (eg. early Iggy, Bob Seger and the Heard, long before Night Moves) Smell the Mitten series. Link is to volume I. There are 3 volumes that I know of; search for others if you are inclined.
Enjoy!

Speaking of music... My young, (28) nephew visited for the holidays, and gave me a copy of Mr. Bungle...their California CD. As he knew I liked Captain Beefheart, he figured these guys were naturally influenced by the good Captain. As well as F. Zappa. Maybe so. I'm not so sure. Still trying to wrap my ears, and head, around this bizarre music.

This thread is lonely, don't let it be, it's a good thread.
Here's a drumset.
(I thought there was a C&V drums thread somewhere, but landed here after too much looking. It's probably for the best.)

Fun thread! Lots of interesting randomness.
I've been out gardening this weekend. Got my furrows dug and a trellis built over some tomatoes and peppers I planted today. The rest of the crop (sweet corn, summer squash, cucumbers, and okra) were all planted by seed 15 days ago and sprouting well. Working with about 600 square feet this season.

Very nice. Those collectors are morons, Onkyo was always great stuff, period, sheesh!

Keeping the old stuff running requires some work. This high end cassette needs belts. I have five complete vintage systems set up,so it's always something. I enjoy doing it.
