Albums in storage.....

[Mugwump]

I heard about dishwashing liquid. I will try that before I play another LP. I would say that most of these albums haven't been on a turntable in 40 years.

LOL.....most of mine close to that too....lots of very good stuff just sitting there.....

Well all I can say is you guys need to get off your butts and get moving.  It's easy to get used to listening to crappy digital music in this digital world.  Some good old vinyl on a vintage system will make you feel young again!

Yep, Dennis...that rig you have should do just fine    ...how many watts are you pushing there??

I need to find a good rig like that. The crap I have I picked up because I did not have anything. The only thing it has going for it is that it is new and can play 78s. I played 1 album on it and that was Santana's second album Abraxas. It was ok as it didn't skip but it sure had a lot of static.

If memory serves it's something like 100 watts continuous, 250 watts peak.  Way more than I ever use.  LOL  Def Leppard at around 45 watts and things start coming off the walls.

I just lucked into this system.  I purchased it new in 1979 for around $1500.00  The place I got it from was going to stop handeling Sansui and it was a floor model so I got it for less than 1/2 price.  That was for the amp, pre-amp, tuner, and speakers.  Those black Nakamichi 670ZX cassette decks were $1150.00 each back in 1979.

1979 was the year I started doing environmental remediation.  I paid less for a new Dodge D-150 pick-up than the stereo system when all the dust had cleared.  LOL  I've still got the stereo though.....

You guys are way above of my league.

It has turned out to be a pretty good investment.  If you look at some of the prices on E-Bay, good quality stereo equipment is worth as much or more than it was new.

Most of the stuff they sell today isn't even close to the same build quality.
