It got away. A classic Russco turntable with an old all metal version
of the EMT banana arm and the EMT cart. It was on a heavy rolling
stand-light blue, probably the medical version of a Snap-On tool box-
and there was a HH Scott tube pre on a panel where one door had been.
I'd have parted the rig out -the tonearm and the pre would have
brought instant cash on eBay, and the stand couldn't have been a good
thing sonically-but still.

The buyer gave $25. If only I'd got there ten minutes early!


I DID get a huge number of old patch cables of every description for
$5. All with top quality connectors. I'll cut those off and burn the
wire for copper. Most have longframe plugs some XLRs. A few are in
such good shape I'll keep them intact, but still cut off and
reterminate them for good measure.
