CRT Rebuilds are pretty pricey...in this case a replacement would probably be better if needed. Are you sure you have good high voltage, video, brightness control circuit, all capacitors replaced etc....low HV can simulate a bad CRT. Also if everything checks out OK you can sometimes rejuvinate...

VM made many of the record changers used in these consoles including most of the Zeniths and Motorolas. Magnavoxes were usually made by Collaro in England. We have many customers at our shop that are still using their console stereos.

The Senseo pods provide better coffee than the Folgers. There is a Philips machine that works well and produces a very good cup of coffee. The Black and Decker works O.K. but seems to develop intermittent problems after a while, like you have to push the button several times to get it to work...

Don't use it in dishwasher When I was a kid we rented a cottage at the beach that had a dishwasher: not having one at home I figured regular dish liquid would work in it... there ended up being about a foot of suds all over the kitchen floor! Probably the same results would ensue with a clothes...

Direct TV with DVR I have Direct TV with the Tivo recorder. The digital recorder is really the only way I can enjoy TV as I can program it very easily to record everything I want, no remembering to put in videotapes, etc. Without the recorder I would not get my money's worth as there is often...

Hello, new member Chad here, just discovered this site. This is Chad and Gregory at the B Street Studio open house.

1, 2, and 3 are single phase. 4 is three phase.

You can tell if you have 3 phase power if you have overhead power lines and trace the cable from the house back to the pole...there will be three transformers on the pole and of course on your breaker panel the Main will be a 3-pole breaker. I have 3 phase power coming into my barn but I haven't...

The only GM product I own (or have owned) is part of my school bus collection, a 1974 GMC School Bus w/366 V8 and 4 barrel carb. Still runs very well. Every day I notice a lot of 70's and early 80's Caprice Classics, Chev and GMC Pickups, Olds Delta 88's and such still on the roads. It seems...
