Doghouse, Sorry if that may have came-off as a bit abrupt, and I surely didn't mean for my post to appear that way. No harm intended. Pax? However, given the value of some of the records I have in my collection (LP's, mostly), as well as the fact that they aren't making them any more (original...

Oh my God! For the sake of those that follow us, please don't try this. I spend a lot of time here: http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/bbs.html Every time this "glue method" has come-up the consensus is (in a policeman-type voice): "Sir! I'm warning you for the last time. Drop the glue and...

One of my major hobbies is two-channel audio (aka: stereo), and as such I spend most of my online time hanging around and posting on a site called Audio Asylum, under the moniker "JimK". One of the forums on "AA" is a place called Inmate Central, a place where "anything goes" as long as it's not...

James, Thanks for the info! I don't know what I will need yet (hopefully it won't be much!), but I've started to compile a list of potential sources. Jim

CykoMF, Thanks, and what a moniker! :) And you are correct- I've come to the conclusion that picking this up in-person will be much better, and now all I have to do is coordinate my schedule with my Father's (since my Mother is going in for surgery sometime soon). And as it turns out, I'm...

Ken, Thank you for the reply! I've ordered every piece of literature Victory Glass has to offer for this model, and I just registered and sent out an email to the email group (another "thanks!"). Hopefully I will get a response before I have to make a "go/no go" decision on tipping this thing...

I need to get my new Rock-Ola from "Point A" to "Point B" (a distance of approximately 1,000 miles) as cheaply as possible. Freight quotes for LTL and short-haul carriers have proven to me that picking this up in-person is the least expensive alternative, and I'm currently considering my...

Burt666, I placed an order with Victory Glass for a "Service & Parts Manual" earlier this morning. Thanks for the heads-up! I also asked them to let me know if they have any additional literature available, but so far I haven't received word. If you know of additional sources, I'm all ears...

Phetishboy, It appears that you're reasonably close-by (I'm in Maple Grove). Once I get this home you are more than welcome to stop-by and give it a look-see! And I love the 70's look of your jukebox! Talk about "taking me back".... Pmichelsen, Thanks, and I couldn't agree more. How can you...

Thanks! One thing I forgot to mention.... My folks "snow bird" down in Arizona every winter, and when I called my father and told him about it he sounded excited. (I wanted to ask him, "Ok, if you're excited about this, why did you sell the other one in the first place?", but I didn't....)...

Please excuse this post if I seem like a kid at Christmas, but.... Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jim (the moniker is my initials since "JimK" was already taken), and I just found this forum earlier today. And I am excited! My tale: Sometime before I was born my Father purchased a...
