All Record Players Archives

Ok, I have a Sony Handycam that records on DVD-R and RWs. They are the smaller kind tho obvsiouly. My Handycam doenst have a USB connection so I cant do it through that. The only way I think is to play them throught the dvd player on my computer. But it won't let me burn the dvd on to my computer but i know i have a dvd burner. What can I do?

i bought a 100K volume control today from radio shack. I'm hoping to use it as a dimer switch for antique fan. I don't want to burn up the volume control and waist 4$. The ratings are Rated power .05 watts. Max attenuation 100dB min.100k ohms 20% tolerance. By looking at the .05 watts i would say this is too small for a fan. The fan doesn't say on it what the wattage or amps are. I'm sure it had some sort of sticker or something when it was new but no telling when that was. haha. anyways thanks all!
Thats what i was thinking when i read .05 watts. haha. wouldn't a potentiometer with a higher watt rating work? maybe even one that is rated a bit higher? I have no idea how many watts my fan consumes. Does anyone have a ballpark estimate of the wattage consumption? It is one of those old fans with the brass blades and the metal cage over it. Thanks!

I have one of those VCR/DVD players...today I recorded a tv program to a DVD-R and dubbed a VHS to a DVD....after I was done, I made sure both played in the DVD part of the player....which they did. I am mailing these to my husband who is overseas...so I decided to try quick and see if they would play in the portable dvd player because he will be watching them on one...and they didn't work! What is the problem and is there a way to fix it? Thank you for your help!

I recently aquired a 1934 Westinghouse model WR-29 radio. it had been sitting in a basement for quite a long while before i got to it. the first thing i did when i got it home was to plug it in and turn it on, after it heated up it began to smoke slightly, so i turned it off and left it. upon trying to think of what could be the matter, i realized that i hadn't bothered to clean all of the dust and debris off of the chassis, could the possible cause be the heat from the tubes burning dust and dirt off? if not what else? what ought i to look for when inspecting the chassis?

I'm looking for a record player (probably -0) price range just to play records with good sound quality and a classy look, I was looking at the Sony PS LX300USB - turntable and the ION IPTUSB Portable Turntable, any suggestions? Im new at this and don't care too much if they convert into mp3's or not, thanks! :)

Most in August, etc. for all the months.
Looking for player records, but if someone is so inclined, you can list team records for each.

I'm working in a little shop in St Michael's Hill, in Bristol. It's a second hand shop, filled with things we bought for a fiver and are selling for a tenner. There's a large, antique grandfather clock ticking on the other side of the room, and a table in the centre with a huge amount of books and old toys and nicknacks and such. I'm sitting at an ancient computer from 1997 on the counter. The cash register has about ninety quid in it. The radio, which is this old thing from the 60s, is playing some golden oldies on it. The chair is a bit squeaky. Lunch break is in about half an hour... Not that this isn't a bad job, but it is slightly boring. In the back room there's an alarmingly large amount of old sandwiches that never got eaten and thrown away, and are liable to get up and crawl off rather soon. Actually, I might go and clean them up...
Done. I managed to fill an entire bin bag with the things. Some of them had nasty blue bits, it wan't very nice.
Some French tourists just popped in, spoke some French, and went away again. That tends to happen quite a lot. I wish I could speak French properly. C'est un tres intressant pomplesmousse d'manger le car? See, I haven't got a clue what I just said. The tourists took a couple of postcards, though, and I got eighty pence off of them.
Well... Anyone out there got any ideas on how to spruce the place up a bit?

Recently I've started buying vinyl and I plan to buy a turntable/ record player in order to play them. I was going to buy a portable Crosley but I read that the needles were awful and that they ruined records very quickly. I'm looking for suggestions: A good record player/ turntable that wouldn't damage records (at least not so quickly) but wasn't so expensive either (preferably under 200 dollars)
thank you.

I'm in college so I don't live with her, but my mother has leukemia and only has about a year or so to live. For 5 years my mother has allowed her drug addict brother to live in our house. He doesn't have a job. He has gone to rehab and has never, since he was 12, stayed sober for more than 2 months. He is now almost 50. He's a crack/cocaine addict and heroine addict. He has stolen my mothers car (4x) and crashed it and it is still not fixed even though it happened two months ago. Also, while we were on vacation to California, he stole my mothers credit card and number and withdrew money as well as steal and sell her wine and antique radio. When we got home, the house was a mess. We also found out that he was having an affair with our neighbor.
He also has loads of guns in our home (they are registered) and it worries me because I think he will hurt my mother with them (I had a dream he killed her).
She said she would change the locks but I know that he would break in and kill her.
I'm so scared for her. Is there any way we could have him sent to jail or have him locked up? I don't want him to hurt anybody.
Please help me.

There are many online tamil movie songs sites. When they are played from their servers there is no provision to record the same. Please tell me how can i record those into my syste. I am having widows xp home edition with registered winows software. 512mb 80 gb hdd. 3.0 ghz. windows media player, real player, winamp.

Antique turntable and tube style electric radio

I'm a 29 year old stay at home wife and mother to a 1 year old son. I love my job. However there are many many aspects of the 1950's I wish I could go back in time and live through. Simple times, less complication, polite, responsible children with good wholesome upbringing, home made meals, less need for material goods, I do all the home work while my husband goes to work to support us.

I don't want my son's life to complicated by keeping up with the Joneses by needing ipods, portable gaming, tv, dvd's 3d TV, designer labels and the need for a cell phone when he's 7 or 8! People tell me my ideas are completely unrealistic and if I try to do this, I'll have a lifetime of battles ahead of me. I want my son to appreciate where our things today came from including record players, encyclopedias in book form that he has to open and read instead of click and copy/paste, typewriters instead of computers. I want him to be polite, well spoken and responsible. I don't want him to act like a jerk at 22 because people think he's "still a kid". Does anyone think what I'm saying is realistic today or am I just dreaming?

A few hours ago i asked how religious people cant accept evolution despite massive evidence. this guy than responded with this post.

One of the simplest and best proofs that evolution is a joke, is the FACT that there is NO recorded history prior to 4,000 B.C. The world's history is CLEARY defined by SIX world powers since time began: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. Since Rome's fall in 476 A.D., there have been no world-powers (many super-powers; but, no world-powers). At the time of Moses, Egypt ruled the world. The Israelites were used as slave labor by Pharaoh to build the pyramids. Before Egypt, there is absolutely nothing recorded in history about a world-power. It is NO coincidence that Revelation 17:10 speaks of these world-powers, "...five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space." At the writing of Revelation, Rome was still a world-power. The Apostle John, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, tells us that Rome is the 6th world-power, and there is one more to come. The 7th world-power will be the beast system, the kingdom of the antichrist. This diabolical New World Order is quickly forming now (i.e., a universal religious view, global centralized government, a one-world economic system, a cashless society, etc.).Do you think it's a mere coincidence that the Word of God is so concise on world history? The Bible records the beginning of mankind at about 4,000 B.C., and secular history is eerily silent before 4,000 B.C. for those who claim to believe in evolution. If I were an evolutionist, I would be extremely disturbed by this FACT. Prove me wrong! I dare you. I triple-dog dare you to show me any recorded civilization before 4,000 B.C. And I don't mean some pottery jug or item that you claim is 14,000 years old--Show me any evidence of civilization prior to 4,000 B.C. You cannot. In fact, it is difficult to find much recorded history before 2,500 B.C., because the flood of Noah's day destroyed most of it. How can evolutionists be so naive and foolish as to totally ignore this incredibly obvious fact? There is NO recorded history prior to 4,000 B.C.--no writings, no carved stones, no battles, no wars, no countries, no nothing! It's as if mankind just suddenly began (which is exactly what the Bible teaches happened). God created man out of the dirt, the elements, of the earth.
There were no humans before approximately 4,000 B.C. Hard to imagine? Why should it be? There is no history to indicate that humans existed prior to 4,000 B.C. This fact is irrefutable. Oh sure, some stubborn evolutionists are going to start talking about carbon-dating, archeological findings, etc. BUT, the bottom line is that the history of mankind should be traceable far beyond 4,000 B.C., going back million of years IF evolution were true. IF, as evolutionists claim, the earth is billions of years old, and mankind has evolved from a lower and simpler form of life, then why has mankind gone from writing upon stones to laser printers in just the past 3,500 years? When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, they were written upon stone. It is abundantly clear that the Egyptians carved messages into stone (hieroglyphics). So why is it that mankind has only discovered better inventions in the past few thousand years? If mankind had evolved, as evolutionists claim, then why didn't man discover ink a million years ago? Think about it. This is an astonishing thought--There were NO planes, cars, computers, refrigerators, electricity, lights, gas, powered-equipment, telephones, recording devices, CD players, MP3 players, electric razors, televisions, record players, movie cameras, or a million other modern technological inventions--just a mere 170 years ago. Civilization has advanced from utter primitiveness to incredible mind-boggling achievements in just a little over 100 years. So why didn't mankind discover any of this stuff 100,000,000 years ago, or 100,000 years ago for that matter?Look at the ignorance of doctors over the past few centuries. Sanitary practices, such as washing hands, were laughed at by doctors, while thousands of patients continued to die. It was unimaginable to doctors back then, that washing one's hands somehow was related to a patient's health in the operating room. Can you believe that? Evolutionists today are just as ignorant of the truth of God's Word, and of common sense itself. It's hard to imagine that millions of people were dying from a simple lack of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) just a couple hundred years ago. If evolution is true, then it took man billions of years to learn all these kindergarten lessons.

i have a home dvd burner just one slot i have it hooked up to anpother dvd player and my tv, when i try to record a dvd or a movie off of hbo or stars or whatever it says i cant due to copy right. how can i get pass this and record movies?

So I recently purchased a used Led Zeppelin I vinyl record. I tested it out on the player and Side 1 sounded awful. It sounded sad, like the guitar just didn't sound good and it was like it was being pulled down. Does that make sense? Robert Plant's voice was dropping. Just didn't sound good. I can't really describe what it sounds like, but it doesn't sound good. When I flip it over to Side 2 it sounds absolutely perfect. There are no visible scratches on either side. I have a Numark portable PT-01 record player.

Could dust be causing it to sound so bad on Side 1? If not, what is? There are no scratches at all. What advice do you have?

it plays but the sound is very low. Its set up through a philips home entertainment center. How can i get the to play louder?

I recorded a friends MPEG video onto a DVD-R disc in AVI format, but it won't play on a portable DVD player, why is that?

I want to record the playoff game Lakers vs Jazz tommorrow since i wont be home at that time tommorrow.

i scrolled all the way to that play off game and pressed record and it said something about setting it up on ur vcr plyaer
i dont have dvr
i have a dvd/vcr player hooked up to the tv
is there a way this can work?

I was being dropped off at home, when I got out of the car, I noticed two thugs getting out of my car.. As I walked towards them, as if demanding... the thug hugged me as if he knew me, he said while he was hugging me, " best if you don't say anything" don't open your mouth if you know whats good for you" I looked puzzled, I almost felt I had called for help and thought none of these neighbors are doing anything. The thug, then said, you'll get a bill, I got some ticket in the highway for 168. And this wasn't the first time I took your car.

I didn't know what to do. I was thinking, " I need to do something, these guys know where I live, they know my name. How, why? If I call the police, then what..

I went inside the house, and I guess time passed and the thug came back as if he had the key to the house, he walked in and said, " I'm checking in , you know" He was acting very arrogant as if he had us / me in his hands. He played the radio and asked me to dance, I said, how dare you after all you did. Ask her to dance, so my sister got up and danced with him. ( the music was latin) Weird?
He then was dancing by himself, some freestyle / breakdancingmusic - He was doing some poping on the floor.

I heard the house bell / buzzard and I turned to it and said, " jeffrey"? Even though I clicked the button I couldn't hear him but just street noise. I clicked on another button and minute later he was inside. As he walked in, I said, " Jeffrey, shhh, and told him what happend, I said, I don't know what I am going to do... I said, I need to hide you, and then one of the guys saw him, and I said, Oh , he's just here to bring some cakes, right... Jeffrey, went downstairs to get the cakes, he brought three different type of pastries/ cakes, one was like a strawberry, the other was I guess what was a pie, maybe peach cobbler. I told him, oh, that's the recipe I told Kali off... why did she put herself to do all this... he said, you know her. ( his fiancee in real life)

At some point, I remember saying, we need to move from here if not these guys will always find us here.. we can't live like this. I saw a house, apparently my house in the dream, it was ivory/ w/beige brick house.. sort of old antique looking.

Any thoughts, please? No dream moods or other sites, just serious interpreters, please.

Thank you

I want to buy a portable record player on ebay but i have no clue what size record they play!

i have an antique radio console with a phonograph turntable in it and i don't know how old it is or what model it is. the serial # is A385450 and the chassis is 6BO6. i just want to know general stats and value of this old radio.

Player A:
16 Home Runs, 64 RBI, 319 Avg.

Player B:
12-4 Record, 2.72 ERA, 173 K.

My Mom and My recently passed aunt are giving me their 8-track collection which consist of stuff like the Beatles and my aunts 8tracks back when she used to be Married to Dave Dalton of the Ventures "He was the drummer for a short time."

I got no interest in selling them as

1. I got an old sports car from that era but no 8track input on my 280ZX as the PO being a crack head sold it off for heroine.

2. Is there either a MP3 uploaded or a modernized playing system that I can hard wire into my CD/Radio player?

3. I like the bands, I can play Surf music how it should have been heard at car shows or just listen to some of my favorites.

4. I heard they are clearer then Cassets and CDs.

So any modern day players I can get for a descent price or should I just dig through junkyards and antique shops?
