Hi, I have a Victor High Fidelity record player. It's pretty big, also has a radio with it. As a whole the thing is great...looks wonderful. However, I'm having trouble..and no answers come to me. I've never worked or played with a record player before...so I'm new at this. Everything seems to be in good shape, even the needle. However I'll switch on the player and the arm moves over to set the needle down...it will set it down...and then it picks itself up...and moved back home...and then moves back to the record.....it wont sit on the record and play. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
no, there isn't another arm above the arm with the needle. There's the record drop arm, but it's on the other side.

Well, I was thumbin' from Montgomery
Had my guitar on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
He was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow eyed
He said, It's a long walk to Nashville. Would you like a ride?
I sat down in the front seat. He turned on the radio
And them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers was solid country gold
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said,
Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues?
Can you moan the Blues?
Can you bend them guitar strings?
He said, Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
Cause if you're big-star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride
Then he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around
He said, This is where you get off, Boy, Cause I'm goin' back to Alabam'
As I stepped out of that Cadillac, I said Mister many thanks
He said, No need to call me Mister, Mister
The whole world called me 'Hank'!"
He said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues?
Can you m-o-o-oan the Blues?
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big-star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride."

If you're big-star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride.

Oh, back in the day, how nice it was. Are you old enough to remember? Did you watch the Smurfs? When you were watching, did you give a rat's butt about some election your mom and dad were talking about? No, the good old days. Stretch Armstrong, he was the bomb, except when he leaked the green goopy stuff. I wore leg-warmers. And parachute pants. Michael Jackson hadn't been bleached or had any plastic surgery yet. Magazines like Tiger Beat were what we bought and we tore out the pics of stars like Scott Baio and hung them on our wall. No internet, no cell phones, and yet somehow we survived. All the girls played Barbies until the ripe old age of 12, and we still thought boys were "gross". A microwave was a new thing, and mom bought me an Atari 2600 and hooked it up to my black and white in my room. On it, I discovered the world's first video games: Pong, Asteroid, and later Pacman. I watched the Lone Ranger when I was getting ready for school in the mornings and Little House on the Prairie when I got home. Every Sunday night, we watched The Wonderful World of Disney. Cassette players had just replaced 8-tracks, and cable TV came to town! I was the first generation of MTV-ers. I remember videos of U-2 and ofcourse Thriller. Rotary phones were the norm and push-button was the new thing. Elvis had already died a few years before, but John Lennon was still alive. I had his song "Woman" on a single 45, which I played on my record-player. During the summer, my best friend and I rode bikes from morning til dark all over town and our mothers never worried that we were getting abducted and molested. Strangers helped you if you needed it. My mom bought a brand new car every other year, and they were never above 4k.
It was the 80's. Life was good.
Yes, kaje, that's it. Sorry that I didn't spew some filth or childish remarks like you are used to. I was trying to compare how nice it was in the Reagan days when life was moral and the economy was good, versus the 90's that very negatively affected the American psyche with the Monica-ness of the establishment being the down fall of society as a whole and going nowhere but deeper into the gutter ever since.
the maker is: Milovac International Co Inc.
the model number is: RA-1155
and the serial no. is: 7180
i dont know which info you would need to find it but i hope you know which kind i need or how i could personally find out
I want to be able to record the radio and then upload to my pc as MP3 then burn that on CD..
When I was younger, I used to watch a show, but now I can't remember the title and it is really bugging me. The only thing I remember is that there was an older guy who may have been in the navy who talked on a radio, there were two younger kids, there may have been puppets, it might of been in an Antique store, and I think there was a special ship in a bottle. Can someone please help me?
There might of been a woman who argued with the old guy.
Just give me a basic outline of the years, next to what type was used at that time by most people?
i wont to do some scratching and mixing for recreation. just at home and for friends.
Does anyone know what kid of needle i would need for this?
He is 35 years old, has 8 years of Major League service and has 1,805 hits. He could play 10 more years and make a serious run at 4,000 hits and maybe even Pete Rose's all-time hit record of 4,256 hits. Pete played till he was 45, so Ichiro could as well. 10 or 11 more years, or even 12 more seasons, to finish up at age 46, with 20 years old service. If he keeps averaging around 225 hits a year, he could make a good run at Pete's record. I wouldn't count Ichiro out. He's in great shape, and could ostensibly play until he's 50. If their was one player who could break Pete's record, it would be Ichiro. Too bad he began playing over here when he was 27. If he had joined the majors at age 19 or 20, he would be looking at 5,000 hits. How many hits do you think Ichiro will finish with? and how many more years will he play? I say he plays 10 more seasons and finishes with 3,862 hits.

Really want to get out of this house, but my mum wont let me go anywhere on my own ! really want to find a hobby where i can get out of the house and have fun with my friends.
But me saying that, some of my friends let me down =(
I have a job but i don't want to just go to work, school and church, i want more ! I'm soo bored at home, at school there r no clubs so im screwed......
i like : designing clothes ( wanna b a designer when older, I LOVE listening to music, especially electronica (I'm into turntablism lol ) i like animals, i like shopping, and i have a job but i wanna quit (loooong story ) i like to travel but only with familly.
all the volumes settings are up on my computer and on windows. it plays music and everything else but wont record sound when I recod videos.
Over my lifetime, I have sold Avon, ladies clothing, kids toys, fine jewelry, junk jewelry wholesale, veggies I grew (both as a kid and now), junk on Ebay, radio advertising, campground timeshares, college tour guide/admissions rep, stuff at flea markets, seeds, ideas, antique dishes and linens, cars for my husband on Ebay, band boosters junk, promotional products, and farmers work boots.
My Dad taught me at a very young age that if I could sell, I would never go hungry. What types of things have you used your sales skills to sell?
a turntable of a record player rotates at a rate of 45 rev/min and takes 30 s to come to rest when switched off, find the number of revolutions it made before coming to rest
It doesn't matter if it has to wait a couple of days. I want to buy him a record player but I really don't know anything about that. Is a turn table the same thing?
I think he'd really like one that could connect to his little bose radio for sound.
I was looking at this one
http://www.amazon.com/iPTUSB-Portable-Turntable-Software-Speaker/dp/B00032BOLO/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1256747492&sr=1-32
It looks pretty good.
If anyone is willing could you look through these and give me a good choice?

I really can't affor anything over 0
Just something to listen to old albums. It would be great if he could connect it the the bose radio but if not it's still ok.
no burner.
I have a vintage 1960's record player that spins properly but has no sound. The arm of the mechanism has a, black and red, audio wire coming out if it. I want to know how to hook this specific audio cord into an independent amp? I don't want to use the phonographs built in speakers or amp. I do however want to use its arm and needle. I also should note that the phonograph has no output plugs. Please help me if you can. It would mean allot to me.
I have a 95' blue Chevy Lumina. I'm wondering how much I should try to sell it for.It has damage to the passenger front side, and the inside isn't that great, the people I bought it from didn't keep it very clean.It drives good but as of right now, it has a dead battery. I used Kelly Blue Book but it gave me the price for excellent. Oh, everything is power, power windows, locks, steering. Has a radio that works well and a cassette player. That's an antique!!! But ya. Please consider the economy and the damages and give me the best price. Thank you so much!
Is there a way to sing along with an accompaniment CD and record it onto a blank CD, at home? I sing with CD accompaniment on several songs, and wanted to make a copy for some who have asked for them. Not so 'sell'!! These are friends and they just like the songs I've done. How can I do this either with a type of machine or using my CD burner/player on my computer? thanks
very urgent, because the show i need to record is tom at 5pm pacific time :S
Here’s an opportunity to show your talent. Adopt a century home in Hartville, Ohio.
Make the first floor a retro store and the upstairs an apartment. It’s already divided and structurally sound. The people who lived in it before made a real mess. We’ve been cleaning and gutting it for days.
This is a great media opportunity to shine! All local and national TV and print media will be contacted and invited to cover the event. Local radio and other media will also be invited. As a journalist, I will write an article about the experience. And you can put a permanent sign advertising your name services.
Previously I had a tiny boutique in Hartville. We did well, but the space was too small to carry enough product to really make any money. We closed and moved our merchandise to other area boutiques. Merchandise is an eclectic array of mostly USA-made jewelry, clothing, accessories, books. Funky stuff. Men’s’ women’s’ kids’ stuff. Some even new.
Products we are considering (we had most before)previously owned, like-new clothing and accessories, home décor, antiques, books (used and new), hand-blown glass beads (made in the USA), hand-made wooden cigar box purses (made in the USA), purse-making supplies, rare antique wooden cigar boxes and cigar box purse-making materials, Burt’s Bees Products and Watkins Products.
It’s an eclectic mix of vintage and new. All upscale. No musty smells, and I act as a personal shopper to customers—tracking their likes and calling them if I have something I know they would enjoy. Previously I took articles on consignment, though it was a hassle. The feel of a New York posh shop is what I had at my tiny boutique.
Now I have the first floor of a century home in the downtown business district of Hartville, Ohio. We’re also remodeling upstairs for a tenant, and landscaping.
I’m looking for a creative team to adopt my project. Thank you for your consideration. Silent investors welcome. References available (from customers, friends, employers).
Thank you.
I figured out how to record a video using iMovie HD, but when I try to burn it onto a dvd it says it will just burn a copy of the project but it wont be viewable as a movie on a dvd player. Even when I tried thar, it said my project was too big. It's about 45 minutes. How can i turn my project into something I can watch on a dvd player?
