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.

Sorry, they didn't ahve one. They did have one of Ann-Margret but I
didn't want to poach on Vinylsnatch's turf.

Shhhh!!!! I'm Listening to Reason!

My turf would be real live girls. I guess we won't have to worry about
you poaching there, either.

Raiding the old folks home does not count as "real live girls".

Agreed. Are you using me as a sounding board?

Bratzi was asking me about old folks' homes because he's trying to
make the transition back to normal sexual behavior. Baby steps, baby
steps.
