I haven't thought about this song in ages. Man, I've got to either get my turntable fixed or buy a new one! I have the double album "Anthology"

It's an automatic belt drive unit. I've just been looking at new turntables on line and think I'll get a new manual direct drive. Old mister BIC may take a trip to the Goodwill, maybe somebody will want it! It has a good cartridge, Shure V15 Type 3, but it is also about 40 years old. I just got my Christmas bonus Friday and I've been thinking of buying a new guitar. Maybe I'll get both, I've been good this year!

I own 2 turntables a AR XB . It is probably 40 years old with a pickering xsv 3000.This a a great combo and I can get close to $275 for the turntable and another $300 for the cartridge on ebay. My other turntable is a Systemdek X11. this a copy of a linn sondek and it is a great turntable. this will cost you $300 on ebay. I also have a sumiko bluepoint which retails for $400. Get tge systemdek off of ebay and a nagoaka mp-110or a shure m97e . both are around a$100

I just saw 2 on completed listings on ebay. one sold for $242 Plus shipping and one sold for $500

Everyone competed for your business. Wonderful receivers and electronics. Turntables were very good.There were many good speakers.

All can be picked up today for a good price on ebay and they still sound good. I have a modified Dynaco(new opamps and new capacitors, a van Alstine tube preamp and a belles amp. The one tging I recentlt bought were Andrew Jones spekers. He made inexpensive Panasonics and now he is with Elac. He is one of the best speaker manufacturers today.

I gave my son my B&W speakers.

A friend went to visit someone in NYC and came home with three albums I had never heard: the first Quicksilver album; Sailor, which was Steve Miller’s first (and only psychedelic) album; and Music from Big Pink by The Band.

I have bought albums, CDs and DVDs of all three of these albums over the years. A serious understatement to say that they changed my life, or at least listening to them during my first LSD experiences changed my life.

I think for the better. Loved almost every minute of 1967 to 1974.
