Do you need a specific amount of posts to see "Member's Gear" because I don't see it. I only see "Novice's Gear". Carter

When I was 17 I bought a 66 GTO. I got an exhibition of speed ticket test driving it before I bought it. I loved that car! Welcome! Carter

Welcome to the Carver Site! Carter

Congrats on a great score. What a beautiful sub. Perhaps lots of very soft blankets wrapped around it I presume. It is likely pretty heavy too....be careful. Watch out for belt buckles when moving it. I used to move very expensive antique clocks and we always removed anything sharp in our pockets first. What is that speaker next to the sub? I'm having speaker envy! Carter

Welcome to the world of Carver. I'm fairly new myself to Carver gear but I'm already addicted! You will be too. Carter

I just wanted to thank everyone for the warm greetings! Carter

I just picked up my MXR-130. I bought it at the Seattle Goodwill store for $38. The description stated the display didn't work but it did power on. I brought it up slowly on my variac and the display works but was slow. At first it wasn't there and then it appeared. I hooked up some speakers and on FM it appears to be working fine. I think I scored a nice receiver here! Now to go down the Carver rabbit hole and learn how to restore it. I'll be opening her up and will post some pics in the appropriate forum after my Sunday brunch outing. Carter

Hello all, New member here. I picked up a few tube radios at an estate sale about 5 years ago and got hooked. I bought everything in sight it seemed and then settled on Zenith. Love those old Zenith cube radios. I've restored all of my Zenith cubes myself. I've found lots of great gear at estate sales which includes 1000's of vacuum tubes, many parts radios, and some test gear. My wife says I'm a hoarder and she may be right. Then I got hooked on Marantz 70's gear and ended up buying a 2238B, two 2245's, 2285B receiver, and a couple of 5025B cassette decks. I also have two Dual 1219's TT's. One I bought restored and the other I restored myself. I have a couple more Dual's in the queue to restore. I recently bought a Carver MXR-150 that I'm picking up today. I started doing research on Carver and discovered that they are from the Seattle area. In a previous addiction I restored antique clocks and still do on occasion. Anyway, I hope to learn a lot here about Carver gear. Are there any Carver tech members in the Seattle area that do repairs? I may need some help. Thanks...Carter
