Titebond is for gluing guitars back together?

Just Bin them if crap, have 40 year old ones never been cleaned. Better than new at 30 quid. Tried a few cheap cleaners, more trouble than worth..

Far more interesting than I thought it would be. Seems a tad of oil on the bearing helps. Wee tip, do not let Linn Black oil anywhere near an Oracle, J7 special brew or 3 in 1. Pools win, I would spend on a new one, lets Face it, it's only 3 times what I've spent on the roof of the house. Waited...

Not be too Dramatic? Have you looked at MCRU website lately. I was importing all this stuff from the States 20 years ago. Dealers.. Foo and now you see all this crap. 3.5K for an Earthing? box, made in Scotland? where's my Shovel.... have to go Box of Black Ravioli has arrived, 30 Bob for...

I have had, seen, sold, serviced more Fruit Boxes than you ever will so perhaps your Brain matches your Face? A 'decent LP 12 for only 2K? Most I ever paid for one was about 500 quid. From a dealer in England. Had a mishap in transit, motor sheared off toplate. However.. sported a Minted Syrinx...

As to the Ohell stuff, been there. totally agree. Only place I'd go for advice on DC is Arthur. however my Deck runs of a Pabst Motor.Wallwart marked 220V, Oracle no help so run of the stepdown for the Pax.

Bought this from the States maybe 20 years ago for $500. Decided to go tits up. Sod it, I'll buy a new one, eh £13K, maybe no. Just buy an old Fruit box,, eh no chance given the silly prices folks are asking for them. Just have to build another Lenco. Tough decision, my Dream Porsche or a...

774 no better than a Basik, who suggested it Tommy Cooper?

Never been impressed by any iteration of the Dino and I've had a few, briefly.

Another up for the Tisbury Phono, shoots way above it's price and I've had dozens of phonostages.

Supposedly built as a clone of the Best Mick could do it in 2000. Worked fine for years if a tad cosmetically challenged. went to a chap I trust implicitly to see how the gain was a fraction of what it should be. 20 year old valves were helping not one jot . Came back a different amp. Soundwise...

Having had most of the 'Best' SS way back then, thank Christ I discovered Thermionic valves ( Passlabs excluded)

Please ignore my Stupidity, forgot this was the only camera set for back focus! Senility steps in.

A new one on me. Last week the auto focus packed up on my 550D so gave it to a mate who's happy with just manual focus. Today took out the 7D and lo and behold, it's decided to do the same. Weird thing is the auto focus works fine on the CA and the green full auto settings??? Definitely not the...

Into the Stratosphere Johhny!
