My contacts list on my phone is bloated which makes communication tedious for messaging or emails. I want to 'clean' my contacts list on Google contacts (easier than on the phone) and then re-sync the phone contact list. But it never seems to delete. I do a lot of deleting on Google Contacts...

I get sucked in YouTube videos sometimes. I watched this clip the other day ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkQEdKj-ij8 ) and noticed that there are lots of 'secondary' accidents that happen because a driver has had to take evasive action and has subsequently landed a wheel (or two) off the...

Anyone going Cape Town to George 22 to 29 December? I need to get a turntable there

Shesh. Just got my re-rate from Outsurance. 14% increase  :sd:  :sd:  :sd: Anyone else get a twice inflation re-rate?

Anyone else here affected?

Can anyone shed some light on this LEAK tonearm? What I do know is that it is mono and it must be MC as there is a step-up transformer under the armboard...

Due to the drought we collect up the washing machine grey water. With a simple pool float I have managed to 'clean' the water so that is does not 'go off'. Obviously it is not potable but it is perfect for flushing the toilet. Now to get the water to the toilet cistern. At first I thought I...

I picked up this Garrard 301 with a Decca tonearm. I cannot find any information on the arm. I am assuming it was part of the FFSS series (versus the 'International' series that had more regular half inch mount headshells)...

I picked this one up the other day - you might have spotted it on www.avsa.co.za This one was just too interesting to pass up. This table originally belonged to the Gallo pressing plant in the South of Johannesburg. When that operation closed the plant manager got the turntable. Being a...

If anyone one here with 3d printing experience can chip in? I got in a NAD 3020 today with missing knobs. What would the viability be to 3d print something like this?

A client of mine brought this into the shop with some DIY SEAS kit speakers. I cannot seem to find any information whatsoever on the amplifier. Maybe someone here knows a bit more  :vsad:  :nfi:

Who here ever used the 'program' or 'memory' feature on their CD player. I think I used it once to see how it works and that was it! That said a friend had a CD player (I think it was a Sony) where it would organise the tracks to fit onto a 60 minute or 90 minute tape side... I do remember...

I bought a joblot of stuff today and in the joblot were some tonearms... Now one of them I know for sure - cause it says so on the box  :point: One I know what it is because it has a name on it and the other two are a mystery... Lets start with the one that I know the maker... #1 LEAK Tonearm...

First off a big thanks to Frikkie on the forum for sending me the heads-up on this one. I love getting in stuff that is a little unusual. This one definitely fits the bill. Luxman PD375 - http://www.thevintageknob.org/luxman-PD-375.html Of coarse the two belts (VDS + tonearm movement belt) in...

I am on a few Facebook groups that sell vinyl and I am always amazed how guys try flog ZA pressed vinyl as something 'rare' or sought after*. Obviously it will be rare in a place like Tokyo but then again so will vinyl from 100 other countries... (Vinyl) Collecting, it has to be said, is...

The reports say 'don't panic' - which of coarse leads to a bit of a panic. Has anyone spotted petrol stations that are out of fuel due to the (impending) strike? http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/2016/07/29/Petrol-stations-have-begun-to-run-out-of-fuel%E2%80%9A-day-2-of-strike...
