    Repair of a Marantz

    This thing had a lot of bloated body bag caps hissin' fit to bust, and two old, decrepit resistors in the left channel causing some thermal issues with its outputs -- like the kind if you ran it for about an hour you could use the output transistors as a cigarette lighter to fire up your...

    Late '70s Panasonic BSR Record Changer/Combo

    The biggest problem with these machines is the type of grease they used from this era turns to an infrangible, super glue like substance. Now, fast forward it a couple of years and the platter becomes tougher to turn than a red hot rim under the load of a locked up brake caliper. But try as they...

    A Three Volt Cartridge rebuild

    I took a Crosley cartridge and carefully reduced its size to fit in a '48 Truetone radio/78 record player combo -- and believe it or not it sounds pretty good too for being a piece of cheapo Crosley. I guess a non-plastic tone arm and a good 'Ol tube amp makes just about all the difference in...

    Calem's Fantastically Incredible Coleslaw!

    You simply want believe it's made out of the lowly brassica oleraceacapitata plant, but, indeed, it is...every scrumptious bite of it! Here's how I thunked up going about doing it...     Head of cabbage -- your choice of color   Two to Three carrots   One whole onion -- color don't...

    GE 5 Transistor Early '60s AM Radio Repair.

    I believe this GE radio is almost probably from the early '60s, on account, of its brown circuit board, not its latter green counterpart from '64.  After pulling all of its Nashville/Crapsville electrolytic capacitors, which were either dried out to a very low value or was double dipped, fried...

    Late 40s General Electric radio & record player combo.

    This is a late 40s  General Electric 78 RPM record player and radio. It played the FM band 1, which no longer is used. It also plays the FM band 2, which is still in use to this day. It has your standard am band and short wave 1 and 2. The 78 RPM record changer has the early magnetic cartridge...

    Wireless Vac-u-ette Grip Repair - I Hope It Works!

    Well, I was just at the local yokel Kirby store the other day and what should I find to my horror?! You guessed it -- Some evil doer from the deepest, darkest part of Tartarus had somehow managed to smash the Vac-u-ette handgrip to this vicinity's Kirby Grand Dragon ( AKA ) Head Honcho, The Big...

    Vintage Mag Wheel Restoration!

    I just started on my 56' Bel Air mags the other day and their coming along pretty nicely for being sixty years old. They were somewhat on the rough side, but, nevertheless, their getting to be rather easy on the eyes now.  Complete restoration of the vehicle should take a few months. Hopefully...
