Phil Perry Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Very nice Phil. Apparently vinyl is making a comeback too - so it's not only your golden oldie's you can listen to! I have around 270 old vinyl albums in my loft,. . some I collected over the last 40 odd years, and some given to me by a retiring old mobile DJ chappie. . .I've been playing some of them since I got the thing last week. . . the deck looks reminiscent of the old Garrard SP series from the early 1960s,. The speakers are working perfectly, so it's obviously never been exposed to damp. I could not BELIEVE that the stylus was still useable, but this set has been unused for a very long time. Regrettably, I gave away my vinyl singles collection a few years ago, when She-who-must-be-obeyed said they were taking up space. . . ( ! ) AH - edit - Mrs reminded me that there is a copy of the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour EP in her drawers. . (The mind doth boggle ) . . And to GEOFF13. . .I dunno if this stylus would be suitable for 78s Sir, . . My Grannie's old 78 machine used a metal stylus rather than a bit of crystal if memory serves . . .

bexrbetter Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 One sad thing I left behind in Oz was my album and singles collection and record player. Something around 400 to 500 pieces of mostly 1970's stuff. I had the full set of Budgie albums too, the greatest album covers of all time... budgie album covers - חיפוש ב-Google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 That is not a metal stylus for old 78s it is a needle. Just about anything could play a 78. I once played one with my thumb nail. I keep them too short to do that now, but it was recognisable as music. Which is more than can be said for a lot of what the ABC plays during its breakfast radio show.

horsefeathers Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Jeez, the Invisible Man is shorter than I thought. But, why does he need glasses?

If the light bends around his corneas then he still sees nothing but black... ...but what's the point of getting scientific about fictional characters with imaginary superpowers??
