Microsoft better buy Satan a coat because Hell has frozen over again. http://news.yahoo.com/microsoft-releases-emergency-browser-xp-users-too-163044856--sector.html

Hell freezes over again! Never say never!.  :-) http://news.yahoo.com/microsoft-releases-emergency-browser-xp-users-too-163044856--sector.html

Thanks Fred! That's a beauty you got there!  I bought a C2 almost a year ago, and it came with a complete set of attachments, except it has no provisions for a power nozzle.  This new one does, and I'll share the attachments from my first one with it.  I'm glad I have them because for some...

It's a mid 70's Compact Electra, and it looks super clean.  Has a power nozzle connection, but a standard hose and floor tool.  Now all I need is to find an electric hose and power nozzle and I'll be good to go.  I already have a full set of original attachments...

I run Mavericks on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.  Only run Windows in a VM on the rare occasion I need to do something for work, and can't do it in a native OS X application.

And so it starts Microsoft confirms major hole in IE versions  6 through current security.  No fix coming for XP. http://www.cnet.com/news/stop-using-ie-until-bug-is-fixed-says-us/

Not trying to make any kind of commentary.  Just thought it was funny, and odd that they would name a brand. http://news.yahoo.com/comics/b-c--slideshow/b-c--comic-strip-20140416-crbc-gif-050140153.html?soc_src=unv-sh-comic

I haven't run XP in years I skipped Vista and went directly to Windows 7.  Been perfectly happy with it.  I also run Windows 8.1 Pro, and with the update that came out yesterday, it is much better now too.  Of course, I own strictly Mac hardware now, and on the rare occasion I need to run...

I sold the Heritage when it first came out.  The first run did have a cloth fill tube, as opposed to the plastic one.  I think the original idea was that with the Tradition, the plastic tube was a point of failure.  I seem to remember replacing a lot of them under warranty because they were...

Well, I upgraded the processors in my Mac Pro last Saturday to two 5355 quad cores.  Before doing that, I upgraded the firmware and my machine now reports that it is a 2,1 instead of a 1,1.  Processors went in fine, and machine recognizes them and all eight cores.  This brings my final...

support Windows XP for 1 more year.  Says this gives them breathing room to make the transition. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2139984/uk-government-pays-microsoft-5-5m-to-extend-windows-xp-support.html

Careful buying Handi Butlers off eBay I have bought 3, and they all looked like they had never been used.  When they arrived, they all had been stored with the belt stretched out on the belt lifter.  This caused the belts to become permanently stretched, and rendered them totally useless. ...

Even the non self propelled models weigh a ton.  No wonder so many of them have wobbly handle syndrome from people trying to carry them from the handle.

I think the Crystalator was discontinued during the Tradition's run.  It was still called a cystalator in the Classic III's manual, but was called an air intake nozzel in the Traditions manual.

Thanks guys and right you are Alan,  It is <a name="start_24179.270560">one of the armoire styled models.  It didn't have the TV.  A found a Magnavox reel to reel deck, and that is installed in it.  It is solid state, and I'll try both of you guys suggestions.  Thanks again.</a>   Joe

Also Here is a picture of the record changer.  This is when I first got it and it is pretty dirty in the picture, but it has since been cleaned up and it works flawlessly.  I also stock piled several new stylus for it.

Good morning/afternoon all.  I have an early 70's  Magnavox Astro Sonic console stereo that needs the amp/tuner repaired.  The changer works great, and it plays, but the left channel is weak, and I think it is about time to just have it completely re-capped.  Does anyone repair vintage...

That used to be my neck of the woods.  Actually, a little north of Pittsburgh from Beaver Falls.  Hope you guys have a good time.  Wish I could be there too.

Wow Charles That looks amazing.  I can't wait to give it a try.

I'm watching eBay for either a Presto SuperSpeed or a Hoover percolator.  The Presto is the one my family had when I was growing up, and it makes good coffee.  The Hoover percolator is a re-badged Presto, so I would be happy with either one of them.
