Damn! You do good work! That component is beyond beautiful. Mine is in the console, but the problem is that I know it is in there, not being as pristine as it could. Thanks for all your help and info. I once had the skill to create something like this, but that was way back during Disco.

I assure you I am not an amateur, but my background is in mobile communications, so I do assume you are correct. But, I love fiddling around with stuff just to see what would happen. Now if I could only find a blank chassis or a place near me that does sandblasting, I would remove all the parts...

After I replaced the capacitors and installed a polarized plug, I had no hum at all. The wiring in my 9301s did not take the center tap of the balance pot to ground, for some reason. Anyway, I have zero hum and I even used a scope to verify.

Yes, it is a 9301 combination tube amp and system power supply. I did remote the balance control, removed the hum balance potentiometer, replaced the power cord with a polarized one with the hot side going to the switched side of the transformer. I was fortunate enough as a young adult to listen...

Like you, I aimed to get a 1962 Magnavox console, that spent the last 20 years in a barn, to sound as good as possible. I rebuilt the amp and the tuner/preamp. Of course I replaced all of the electrolytic caps. Besides the components, the side-firing 15 inch woofers and front-firing angled horns...

I remember seeing the GE Scandia at our local GE appliance store back in the 60's. I thought it was awesome-looking, but lacked the crisp percussion response that our family friend's HH Scott system had.

I am the farthest thing a person could be, from being a prude. But, I have to agree about the language in songs. To me, it shows a lack of creativity, and is insulting.

Most record changers in American console stereos were made by Voice of Music or BSR of England. Magnavox had their unique changers made by Collaro also of England. Their tonearm would tap the edge to the record to determine its size.

We had a top-loading Westinghouse that pulled out like a drawer and had a "paddle" impeller like you mentioned. It had no food particle filter, yet it performed much better than it should have, given its design.

I have had the same good results with the Costco pods. There must have been a recent formula change in the last couple of years. Their performance used to be quite mediocre.

Around 1954, mom and dad bought the coolest 40" General Electric range. It had two large burners and two small ones, also a large and small oven. She didn't want or need a deep-well stewing pot. The backsplash was designed very well with the clock in the center with two large chrome oven temp...

I didn't see any machines like this when I binge=watched "Boots."

I no longer have my player piano (I've had two) but would your uncle be interested in 100 good rolls for free? Just pay shipping and mishandling? You didn't sound rude at all.

I remember the ads that had a little boy saying to his father "Gee dad! It's a Wurlitzer!" In the 1970's, I bought a Wurlitzer spinet player piano.

We don't get them. They send them all out of state where they can get more money for them.

phillymatt53, LOL. Thanks! I have lernt this here lesson, pardner. I live in the rural planet of Idaho and ate too much white library paste in the 1st grade. The results are obvious.

Our Norge-built 20lb washer and dryer seemed, at first, to be built like tanks, although tanks were much quieter than the 20 pound washer. I worked outside on communications sites and towers, so my work clothes got quite dirty. The washer did a better job at getting them clean than than its...

Appnut, I have had the same good experiences with my Bosch with CrystalDry. I can even put large plastic items on the bottom rack without worry.
