You really have to be brain dead if you are considering ANY vaccinations at this stage of the game. Do some proper research and you will find some of the most prominent virologists who firmly believed in vaccines and helped to develop them, have had a change of heart and realized that they too...

Which is why I have no patience for poepols like Steve Hofmeyr when they are fighting to "preserve" the Afrikaans language. Surely if you care about the language and want to preserve it, it should start with speaking it properly instead of the English / Afrikaans tossed salad dished up by the...

It is becoming all too prevalent to see ads offering items "for sell" instead of for sale. Unfortunately this is the result of converging factors including people who's first language is not English, the poor education in this country and the BEE political system resulting in ignorant, poorly...

@marcr007, a simple Google search will tell you want you want to know.

I would leave the Sondek as is and acquire a second turntable capable of playing 78 rpm discs.

I love that he has made the connection to health. Music can finally get back to being not only a pleasurable audio indulgence but, a therapeutic, positive energy enhancing session at the same time. Kudos to Mark Levinson.

Transcriptors Hydraulic Reference Turntable. This iconic turntable in A Clockwork Orange (which also appears in the hospital scene) was designed in 1964 by the late David Gammon and manufactured by Transcriptors, the company he founded with his brother Anthony in 1960. The company went on to...

One of the most iconic design pieces from the Space Age era is this Vision 2000 HiFi system from Rosita, designed by the famous Thilo Oerke 1971.

Based on the experience of the previous expo in Newlands, may I suggest that a space is created for the DIY chaps to not only show their creations but, they should also be able to demonstrate their wares. If necessary and financially expedient, perhaps the DIYers can share a room and associated...
