    DIY Spin Clean

    Ok, you guys wanted to see it... My version of a DIY spin clean. Only real difference is I'm adding soft bristles on each side of the micro fiber pads. It will slide into a painted MDF box, this will keep the top from bulging out like it is now. It will put pressure on the pads as well. Yes, I could of bought one....but no fun in that.
  3. A farmer is selling his hunting dog. Advertised as the best hunting dog ever. A buyer comes over and the farmer gives a demonstration. They take the dog to a wooded wet land, as they approach the water the farmer sends the dog into the bush. A few minutes later the dog comes out and hits the ground 3 times with his paw. The farmer looks at the fella and they walk into the bush, sure enough there are 3 ducks swimming in the pond. The fella looks astonished. They walk a little farther and the farmer sends the dog into the bush again. This time the dog is gone a little longer, but he returns and hits the ground with his paw 8 times. The farmer and the fella walk into the bush, sure enough there are 8 ducks swimming in a pond. "UNBELIEVABLE" the fella says, how much for the dog?....they strike a deal, and the dog goes home with his new owner. The next day the fella takes the dog hunting, he sends the dog into the bush. The dog is gone for quite a while, but finally returns. To the horror of the new owner the dog runs around in circles, stops, starts humping his new owners leg, stops, grabs a stick from the ground and shakes his head violently. The dog drops the stick and sits in front of the fella and wags his tail looking up for praise. The new owner is shocked..he sends the dog back into the bush one more time. He waits. Again, after some time the dog returns, runs around in circles, humps the fellas leg, grabs a stick and shakes his head violently, then sits and looks up anticipating praise. The fella is furious, he gathers the dog and heads for the farmers house. When they get there the fella demands his money back, saying he had been scammed. The farmer asks the fella what the dog did, the fella explains. Ran into the bush, returned, ran around in circles, humped his leg, then shook a stick! The farmer smiled, looked at the fella and said " the dog is fine, you just dont understand. Hes trying to tell you thats there more fuken ducks out there than you can shake a stick at!!"

    Cleaning Vinyl

    Thanks Gene, since I've only heard one album cleaned on an ultrasonic cleaner, I didnt know what to expect. I'm a vinyl newb....I had records when I was younger but was more for backround, I didnt have the time or interest back then to care much. Funny how things have changed.

    I recently heard what a ultrasonic machine can do.....wow! 4K is a little pricey though.... Thinking I may be able to DIY one for under $500.... Nice winter project.
  11. The Lemon song.......Zep I use to drive my parents crazy with that song......I still use it to do the same to my wife.
  12. Welcome to the forum Dan, another member from Texas......cool!
  13. In 1974 (ish) a big bag of records was delivered to my dads company by the post office. They phoned a few times to tell them they had dropped them off to the wrong place. A few months later he brought the bag home cause no one came to claim it. I remember most were unremarkable, but the one I kept, and it was my first.....by first it was mine not shared with my siblings...was by "The Band"....Northern Lights, Southern Cross. Heres my list: Album: The Band....Northern Lights, Southern Cross 8 Track: ZZ Top...Fandango Cassette: Supertramp....Crime of the Century CD: Dire Straights......Bothers in arms Download: Katie Melua.....Piece by Piece It amazes me I could remember these.....I cant remember what I did last week usually.

He is exactly the type of person that will meld in perfectly with this group....audio crazy. On another site I heard him say how fond he was of his new Carver gear, so I nudged him this way. I hope he likes it here, I see everyone is being their gracious selves.... Welcome again..... Perry

He just bought himself an Oracle Delphi....he loves it My wife grew up around gear all over the house and music always playing... She thinks what I do is normal.....
