I'm lucky enough to have a few local record stores nearby. Both will let me sample the merch, but also steer me away from lesser quality pressings. I made lots of discoveries by browsing my local vinyl shops back in the day, and had forgotten how much I love spending an afternoon record browsing.

Absolutely brilliant Marc! Exactly what I needed. I was able to order a belt not only long enough, but also wide enough to use with my existing pulley for VHS tape. Now I can compare magnetic tape, surgical silk thread and nylon reinforced rubber. Ordered! Thanks all for suggestions. DONE.

Thanks guys. I did just manage to find surgical silk for animals. It's thicker than the standard surgical silk I tried before. It won't arrive until mid December, but worth a try. I also bought a splicing kit for VHS tape. That might give better results that I had before.

I have pulleys for both surgical silk and VHS tape. I just wanted to be able to compare them to a more standard rubber belt, and determine which one I like best.

I'm looking for a 50" circumference rubber belt for the Colossus turntable. It could be a little longer, but not any shorter. I've looked everywhere, and have contacted every company I can think of. Just wondering if anyone here might have an idea that I haven't thought of?

I'd have to be blindfolded to stay in that room to listen to music.

Brilliant!

Very pretty. I think Stephen King has scared me too much to visit Maine. I just know that I'll have a Gypsy curse cast upon me, or a killer clown will chase me, or some High School prom queen will use telekinesis to run my car into a tree.

Those must be Tannoys? Can't make out what's under the drivers. The Nagra amps are awesome!

The fax were, we ate 'em!

They were absolutely delicious! Gettin' figgy with it!

Damn those look great! The Wenge is so rich and the grills you made really finish them off beautifully! You just can't tell from the pics how complicated the folded horn section is. I've never seen, let alone been involved with such a complex folded horn. I can't even remember how many pieces were involved in making it, but it was a lot. Do they have the new drivers in? You should be very proud!

That's about right. My level of wit is about as sharp as a softball. 🤪 We had a Five Guys in Texas. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.

He'll never find those.

Don't be silly. If you were being attacked I'd simply set off the small bombs hidden under your new smoker.

Looks tasty for sure, but a bit more subdued than a gay celebration. -the bacon.

I hope this clears things up. 😀

OK, since this seems to be confusing I'll explain my post. I had a burger at In & Out. Grahame posts about having a burger at In & Out a lot. I thought it was clever to call it a Grahameburger instead of a hamburger. That simple. I didn't order bacon on it (not knowing that they didn't offer bacon), and posted - the bacon, only because I assumed Grahame would order a bacon burger. I can't for the life of me see why I would have assumed that Grahame would have wanted bacon on his burger. I don't have a clue what softball means.

What?!!! And Grahame still eats there?

Confused by this are you?

Happy Birthday !

Oh, don't bother raising a glass to me. I still can't carry a tune in a bucket, but I do feel much better about it.

I too once had a very positive and encouraging vocal coach. The results were quite uplifting.

Ooh, I like having my chain pulled.

Sorry, don't have my nerd to English dictionary with me ATM. I'LL just take you at your word that it's for something else.
