The tube sound is what did it for me. We were listening to the various units with the owner while I was trying to decide, it's incredible what they can do today with all the modern tools, but back in the 50s/early 60s they were doing all this stuff with vacuum tubes. They have a Motorola with an ear...

One of the regrets of my life is that I didn't tell my parents (and to be fair they didn't ask specifically) I wanted my grandparents' Victrola when they passed away and they asked what I wanted. I used to mess with that thing all the time. It played 78s, 45s, and had a radio. I would have loved to...

We go every time we visit my kids in Rochester and State College or my parents in Williamsport, but they’re not price sensitive trips. They are omg we gotta get their baked goods, and coffees, and cool cheeses, etc, etc….
If they become an actual grocery trip option price will matter more.

All I have is Walmart, Giant Eagle and a lame Shop n Save, you’re goddamn right I’m going to Cranberry for Wegman’s. It might not be cheaper than Giant Eagle but the quality is far better.

My one brother lived in Chicago for a time and we have this for New Years. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q7s16ewP1RU&pp=ygUSTWFsb3J0cyBjb21tZXJjaWFs It’s awful.

I have 5 of us and 5 cars and pay $575 a month, although I also get a pay in full discount off that because I pay up front for six months. One person and one car will be leaving shortly since my oldest has moved to NY, so it will soon be decreasing (although I bet the decrease on my policy will be l...

I don't think I have ever seen one with two tone arms like that. Pretty sweet. You should have a different stylus for 78s than 33/45s and that's a pretty genius way to avoid switching it.

I sort them alphabetically by artist, then earliest release to most recent.Yeah, that's good stuff Ronnie. How do you store/sort them?
I use the IKEA Kallax bookshelves which are 1’ cubes and perfect for record storage.

Last weekend my MIL cleaned out a crawlspace under her steps and found a small box filled with probably 70 or so 45s. Some were hers, but others were her mom and dad's, so my wife's grandparents. Basically stuff from the 50s and 60s. Bobby Darin, the Supremes, Pat Boone, Johnny Cash, the Big Bopper...

Are the Giants in town while you're there? That ballpark is a pretty nice place to watch a game. I'd agree with all that's been said here about Alcatraz, the Wharf, etc. I drove the Lombard twist and I thought it was a blast. What tripped me out was the long climb up the steep hills by the Coit Tow...

The whole SiriusXM billing model is nuts. So one vehicle plus streaming costs $370 a year but if you call and even casually mention the word "cancel" it drops to $107. No argument, no bickering, nothing. I suppose it's because so many people just pay full price that it's no skin off their nose to gi...
