idler wheels

can be given a new lease of life just remove it then find a suitable bolt that will go through the hole in the centre put in the bolt and do up the nut then fit the end of the bolt into a drill [i use a dremmel ]switch on and just rub the wheel against some emery cloth or fine sand paper for a fiew seconds all this dose is remove the hardend outer edge revealing new rubber underneath it works every time unless the wheel is completely perished of course
 
David ...

$1,000 for a console stereo in 1970, in today's dollars, would be $5,832.29!!

Can you imagine paying nearly $6,000 for what was, at the time, a mass-produced mid-range stereo system??

On another note, I've found it interesting that with the proliferation of iPods, iPhones, and other mp3 devices -- particularly our computers -- the home "stereo" seems to have gone the way of the electric can opener. Interesting how most of the younger generation don't even have stereos -- they just have their personal portable devices.

I remember not too long ago when every teenager and young adult's MOST prized possession was his stereo!!
 
Yes! Very true, but it was bought locally from the mom and pop store and installed, perhaps then even wired the house for it? Not sure. And yes very much remember the prize of having your own stereo,my first was a plastic GE in 68

it was my 12th birthday present way back in 1970 and replaced my second hand dansette that was worn out it cost 65 pounds the first record to be played on it was David Bowie Space oddity its had lots of use over the years but it still works perfectly
