I am moving to England soon, and I want to take my vinyl records with me, and buy a vinyl player when I get there. Does anyone know if I can use my U.S. made vinyls on an English record player, or should I just buy a U.S. made player, and then buy a power converter?

Ive been cleaning my house and found these old records from the 70's and 80's. They're useless to me as i dont have a record player. Are they worth keeping?

I was at school today and I was trying to get a record to play on the school's record player, no one was around, and then all of a sudden the needle just snapped off. And I didn't know what to do so I just left. What should I do?

And why?

I recently got a record player that transfers music to my computer via USB cable. The first few days I had it, it sounded great and I picked up great recordings on my computer. But shortly thereafter, the sound quality became very poor. I normally leave it plugged into my stereo (It had great sound there too at first) and through both the stereo and computer the sound is bright, it echoes a little and the balance between different vocal lines and instrumental lines is terrible!
Could this be a problem with the needle? (Like I say, it's very new and doesn't get played A LOT.)
Are my records in bad shape?

You know, those old fashioned knobs on antique radios and stuff where you twist it left or right to increase/decrease volume. How did they work?

At one point in time, record players, 8-track cassette players, Walkmans, and CD players were just the most modern and convenient way to listen to music on the market. Well, now MP3 players dominate the market; they're just so cool and compact, high-quality and high tech, right?

In a few short years, however, iPods will also be obsolete, an antique to be replaced by some even MORE stunning music-playing device.

Anyone have some ideas as to what that new device may be? If not, please star this and see if your contacts have an answer. Thanks!

Does it matter if they're 7" or 12"?

I want to watch what my camcorder is recording or review clips on a separate screen. Can a portable DVD player do even if there is no clear video input?

I have this record player that looks so old fahioned and I just feel in love with that style. So I took some records that are to scratched to play and hung them on the wall....I also have an old movie poster.
My bed has a headboard that is like a small book case, my mirrior dresser has little shelves...I have pictures on those. Then I just have a tall boy dresser and night stand, a pretty normal furniture set.
so any suggestions? Bed spread...curtains...etc?
Thanks so much!

When did that format officially/un-officially die? Can I get a decent record player at a pawn shop and reasonably priced LPs online?

I'm trying to research how many record players were sold in US homes every 5-10 years between the birth of the technology and 1980. In addition to finding out the stats, I'd also love to know where you got the information.

Thanks!

I have acquired a few old 78rpm records. Now, i have a record player that can play at the rate of 78, but it seems there is a problem with a few of the records. The record just sounds sped up, just by a bit, but it makes the song sound high-pitched, and annoying. I am wondering if this is a fault of the record, or just that some records are too fast for modern players?

I also have another question concerning records. I very recently got another record, which unfortunately has been cracked (The label is Coral, which seems to create VERY easily brake-able records). The crack doesn't affect play much, except for the occasional "pop". Now, my question is, at the beginning of the song (this will be difficult to explain), the music starts, then when the singers come in, their voices are contorted in a strange echo-y, and fuzzy way, only for the one beginning line, then the rest of the song is normal. My guess would be dirt, or something similar causing this, for i have yet to acquire a cleaner. But i just wanted to know if it was (again) the record itself.

I hope all that made sense, i try to explain best i can. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :]

**I want to be able to record from a DVD to a VCR tape**. I also have an X BOX to also be hooked to them. AND I also have a 5 button AV Selector box that everything is hooked to right now. I have all the cables & RCA jacks & no idea how to get it all to work & be able to record. Also, I have a PhillipsMagnavox surround sound stereo----help!!!

Hope there are some antique radio buffs out there...I have a mid 1940's Sparton radio/phonograph.....the thing works perfectly except that the phono produces no sound (or very little sound) I tried a new needle ...I know the speakers are ok cause the radio sounds fine...any ideas? These old tube radios are a mystery to me...I just like refinishing the cabinets....thanks.

I just bought a portable vintage record player from an antique dealer and it doesn't have a needle. I'm having a hard time finding a similar model online. It's a Zenith, and I think the model is a ZP2. I really don't know much about record players, and I think I may need a cartridge as well.
It says the model is a "ZP2"

I've been looking for this song for 15 years, and I fianlly found an old 70's vinyl. It's the smaller kind if that makes a difference. The song is Andre Marie Tela's "Je vais a Yaounde". Anyway I have no way to play it, and instead of buying a vinyl record player, I'd rather have a digital copy or on CD, which is actually legal, if you have the original. Anyway is there anywhere I can go, like the Musical Version of Office Max? I live in San Francisco,CA.

I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. Recently i was trying to burn some cds for a friend. The cds were the CD-R type. My computer has a DVD and CD-RW drive. At first i was able to burn to CD-R and then all of a sudden my computer would not read them. Everytime i put in the cd and went to windows media player it said enter a blank disk and it wouldnt read. After a while it finally worked again. Now it is back to not reading them. I dont know if this is a problem with the hardware like the laser reading the CD-R or is it something with the drivers or it is just a faulty disk, which i have tried multiple CD-R's? Also for the record i have a Dell Dimension e510 with windows media center 2005. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Its not that it just wont show up for the program when i open My Computer and look at the DVD-RW Drive(D:) it says that there is nothing there

My MP3 Player has an FM radio and I can record music off the radio, Is it legal for me to record the radio and listen to the MP3?

Back in the eighties I used to record the radio onto tape and listen to it later, was that legal then?

I left my ex fiance August of 2008 for reasons of abuse. His father has an old house that is used for storage, which is where my ex and I had a lot of our furniture and other things stored. When I left, I did not have a truck to get my things, and he said my things weren't going anywhere and I could go by and get them at any time. Over the next couple of months I'd gotten all of the clothes and everything I could fit into my car. I would call him to let him kno I'd be there to get the rest as soon as I could find a truck and trailer to use, and he replied by saying it was fine, that he wasn't worried about it. At the end of April, I moved back to mom's and was going to finally get my things (almost 9 months later). All of a sudden, mom gets a phone call from the people who live across the road from where my things are stored. The woman said that my ex was loading all of my things on a trailer and taking them somewhere. By the time I got down there (an hr away) he had dumped most of my things at his uncle's saw mill to bury them. There was nothing I could do. My dressers were torn apart and busted, big shelves that were hand built by my father who had passed away almost 5 years ago when I was 16, my grandmother's antique vanity was chopped up and glass from the mirror was strown all over the place. Everything destroyed. He came back there and told me that my charcoal grill was at his friends house in henderson, and that the 4 ft tall stereo/record player and speakers that my parents bought when i was a baby was in storage in the next town with all of the records that go with it. Me and my mother waited and waited, and he said he couldn't get in touch with the guy to get it and said he'd take it to my mom's. I haven't heard from him since that day. I've called constantly, left messages, and I still don't have that 00 piece of equipment which is more sentimental value than anything, or my grill. Is there anything I can do? Its now been over a year since I left him, and 5 months since he destroyed everything and gave those things away. Oh, and he also took my washer and dryer off for scrap metal. Is there anything I can do? I worry about this night and day, I have got to do something!

Does anyone know about a tv its about 5 feet in length packard bell , has tv , stereo and record player. tv is in middle top right is stereo and top left is record player. underneath stereo and record player are speakers.

For Christmas, I bought my friend an awesome vintage 70's record player that lights up and says "Dancing Machine" on the front. I absolutely love it. I also bought her two brand new records by her favourite bands.

The thing is, this girl, Emma, is more of a "frien-emy", and a lot of other people in my group of friends say she really doesn't deserve such a good and big gift, especially since she's such a bad friend to me.

One of my other friends said she knows what my gift is from Emma, and that it "sucks" compared to what I got her. She told Emma how I got her an amazing and big present, and apparently Emma said, "Well, I don't care, I'm not getting her anything else, I'm not made of money."

This record player is amazing, and I'd love to keep it. I'll probably never find one like it again. Even my mom says Emma doesn't deserve it and I should keep it for myself, since I love music and have a ton of records.

So, do you think I should I keep the record player for myself and just give the two records to Emma, or give her the amazing record player as well?

Does the phonograph (music box) in the Zen Garden in PvZ a one-time use thing, or does it last forever?
What does having a supply of fertilizer have to do with the phonograph?
