  1. These are exact replacements?
  2. Sorry to hijack...I have two Shure V15 Type V ME cartridges. Last used probably 30 yrs ago. Can the rubber connecting the stylus to the cartidge go bad? Should I replace it automatically if I'm going to hook it up again? The stylus itself I know isn't worn out. Can replacement styli be trusted to be just as good as original?
  3. Yes, the two problems were that the rest of the albums were really expensive, and the choice wasn't that great. If I remember, you had to choose the full priced monthly albums from a small list. Between Columbia House and BMG, I probably signed up 3-4 times over the years. Several times I just ignored the followup letters. I'm pretty sure CH dinged my credit back in the 80's.
  4. My dad and I signed up quite a few times. It was fine as long as you purchased the expensive album and then canceled. It was still worth it.
  5. Gotcha. Possibly, some people on the forum may still have their old broken motors if they replaced with a different fan. I'd suggest doing a search for fan replacement threads and then contact those people.
  6. It appears there are no plenty of them available. These seem to be newly manufactured by the same company that made them 40 yrs ago. https://www.ebay.com/itm/124496927399?fbclid=IwAR3KrOFEH9iICLmAP_FW4c-Xj9p57_oujCkrw1SIGwEI0_xzNOvj6ElR-kQ
  7. This may be stating the obvious, but you do know that there are a host of operating and service manuals on this site? Here is the schematic for the M500t: https://thecarversite.com/manuals/mandir/Carver M-500t service manual.pdf
  8. Keep in mind that with speakers that old, there is a significant chance that the surrounds, or the diaphragm itself of the Walsh speaker may have some problems. Problems. Probably only a handful of people in the country who can work on them. One of the companies that can work on them, they actually repaired. My focal t-120s, is called speaker repair pros in garden Grove, California Speaker Repair Pros 10382 Stanford Ave J, Garden Grove, CA 92840 (714) 591-5082 https://g.co/kgs/9hSQge
  9. Yeah! Now I got to figure out how I'm going to get them from Georgia to California! LOL
  10. VMPS bandwagon here again...sorry. I'm not quite sure if these would play loud enough or have enough bass for you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224632375417?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5336466135&toolid=10001&customid=23608X823435X8ff82d54cf2db6abb4e6971517a20a87 But, in actuality, these speaker won many top awards and reviews in their day. All the mainstream and golder ear reviewers put they in number 1, 2, or 3 of the best speakers they had ever heard. I believe they won Best In Show at the CES more than once.
  11. Any of these speakers on the last page I think you'd love, if they was a way to ship or you could go get them. https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=c89a3ejqouci0bqvak7i1dtft1&topic=122314.1260
  12. I encourage you to still look for some VMPS Super Towers and solve your search! Lol
  13. Were there any other speakers on the market sold that had unlimited RMS power ratings like the 901s? (Which also almost needed unlimited power, lol)
  14. To be perfectly honest with you....these speakers would be worth the 4-5 hr drive for you. I have them. They play very loud (up to 120db), they are very efficient (95-99db depending on version), very low distortion, very musical, can reproduce bass better than most any other speaker (down to 22Hz at 110db)....guarantee you would love them. You can search for old reviews of them and they are all great, even by the golden ears of mags such as Stereophile and Absolute Sound.
  15. HI Rob, Can you clarify for me...I know you are searching for some good speakers, but within a budget. So, when you buy all these different speakers, do then sell them if you don't like them? What part of the country are you located in? https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/ele/d/russellton-vmps-tower-speaker/7341284812.html
