Shouldn't people in business be polite and attentive? I found some items in my parents estate that I thought a local sports memorabilia and ephemera dealer, who advertises on the local radio, would be interested in. Old post cards and some baseball player caricatures. He told me nothing was of any real value and added that even if the caricatures were artist originals and framed he wouldn't buy them. I thought old postcards were very collectible right now. I have about 100 and am asking for the - that's only 10 cents apiece! The ones in his store he's asking anywhere fro to . On his ads he says he buys anything old. What is his game?

I have an old entertainment center in a basement called Airline Amphi-Theatre. It's got a record player, black and white television set and a radio. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about it.

Model # GST6975-A
Production Code No. 424
120Volts, 60 Cycles, 300 Watt

I have an A309 antique radios it looks exactly like these radios on this link
http://radioatticarchives.com/radio.php?radio=7322

I don't really know much about them, so I'm not sure what to look for. Do you know which one of these would be better? I just need it to play vinyls, anything suggestions would help, but out of these I like the first one the best.

I'm trying to find out a bit more about the value of a piece that recently came to us. Its a stand alone, wood cabinet/table-type player that can play records, and 8-tracks, and i think has a radio. Any ideas?
The radio says sylvania. The record player say Garrard with a lion logo with a box around '2025T'.

I want to buy some modern LP's from some bands (The National, Gaslight Anthem, Elvis Costello, etc...) and was wondering where to start?

Should I buy a Record Player or a Turntable?

Would the speakers on the record player go out pretty quick, leaving me needing another one?

Would either of them play all the different sizes of records, or would I need to buy special attachments?

Would they both be able to play older records if I picked some up at garage sales?

What are some good brands, should I go used or new, do turntables have something where I could plug speakers into?

I am completely clueless when it comes to this topic, but am itching to start collecting them. Thanks!
Edit: Like for example; what if I bought a turntable that had a speaker jack, and then bought a little guitar amp. Would this work?
Like something like this:

With type of amp:

It's gone way too far, it's absaloutely ludicrous.
I know this is more of a rant than a question and I know the community guidelines is not to rant but I want to hear everyone's opinion on what they encountered on these pathetic regualtions.

I was staggered when I heard on the radio that school children had to wear goggles for BLU TACK!
And there's a lot more than that!
1. Children banned from running around in the playround due to accidents
2. You cannot put up a poster without a member of staff
3. Can't use the foam spray in case you would "slip" and be badly "injured"
4.You can't try out earrings because of a stupid H&S risk
5. School trips have been cancelled for precaution issues.
6.You have to wear a helmet to skateboard, go on your scooter
7. You cannot go near expeditions or any sort of display of art up close because you could "knock it over"
8.Can't buy antiques unless you inform the staff you are intending to purchase it.
9. Children can't bounce on big trampolines because the springs could break and they could fall through (which is VERY unlikely to happen)
10. You have to have stepladder "training" before becoming a proffessional worker like a window cleaner.

The list goes on. And also which angered me the most is that I registered for a job at the Animal Welfare Trust and they couldn't take me on because of the three idiotic words, which I'm not going to mention. So that means I can't register until next year!

Stephen Fry said "Health and Fucking Safety are the four worst words in the English language"
I couldn't agree more, because it's not providing us with any jobs, children can't have fun, we're being sued just for small incidents.

What are your opinions on it? What do you think can be done before it all comes to an end and we can't do anything at all? This has got to be stopped.
I meant to put three exclamation marks after "This has got to be stopped!!!"

Ive tried it in my TV and it wont work. Im wondering if it might be a needle problem and if there is a way I can test to see the needle is okay. Or if maybe I should be trying it in something else. I cant seem to find any speakers or radio's in my house with this kind of an input. It may just be because theyre newer, but I have some older stuff too. Also, is there a way to see if a record is a 33 or a 45... my players has two speeds and Im not sure what to put it on.

To further clarify, there is no kind of volume at all. It is a "Stereo Record Player Model #683-1783 Made for J.C.Penny Cor"

But I cant find anything googling that Model No. (pertinent anyways, with the exception of some replacement parts available)

Its a very simple model with only an on-off switch and a 33-45 switch. And then a power and the two RCA lookin' plugs comin out. Oh and the colors are Red and Black if that helps (though I dont think it makes a difference)

And finally, I dont think anything is wrong with the needle, just kind of throwing something out.
Any way of improving upon the strength of the signal if it is in fact that my TV just isnt receiving it?

A local estate/antique dealer advertises on the radio that he buys all gold, silver and platinum items. I thought he might be interested in a silver ice bucket I inherited, but when I showed it to him, he said, "That's plated." and he wasn't interested. Now I'm confused. What does he really mean when he advertises that h buys silver? What difference does it make to him if it's a plated piece?

I need to be able to use the voice recorder as well as record from the radio.

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.

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.

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!

The truck has a bad motor. It is hard to shift , it had it on the floor where it used to be on the column. no radio nothing. 300 6 cylinder. bad motor. good looking truck and inside looks good. it needs new rubber to keep the doors and windows from ratling. i have 4 rims that come with the 1974 model. I would change the rear end it gets bad gas mileage but will pull a tree down. Should i sell it for 2,250 or spend 5-6 thousand to get it first class. insurance is cheap liability. tag cost me nothing because it had an antique tag. Tags in MS. can run up to ,200.00 per year. Ususally about 0.00 for a ford mustang about a year old. I am considering getting me a 750-1000 series moror cycle to run errands about Jackson. It cost a lot to live in Jackson MS.

I have this beautiful antique that my grandmother purchased and I cant even find a pic of it on any website I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. It has a radio and a record player in a beautiful cabinet Any help would be appreciated

I have an old Sears Electronics record player with casseste, radio, and eight track. I don't know what year, but I'm guessing it's pretty old, I got it at Goodwill.

Everything plays fine, its just that it won't let me change speeds. The 33's play normal, but when I put in a 45 record and switch it to 45 speed, it dosen't do anything. The speed stays the same, and plays in slow motion.

By the way, its not run on a belt, its on a 1-drive idler (tire).

I have an old Sears Silvertone tube AM radio, and it has Bakelite sides.
I'm trying to figure out approximately when it was made.

Kinda antique looking, I'm thinking it might be 1950's, but I'm not sure. It would be cool if it were older, because it's in really good condition. No wood on it at all.

i heard about it on the radio but missed the details. sounds like a neat event.

On the radio instead of downloading it to the internet. How do I do that, does anyone knows about car stereos?
Please let me know what I can do?

i just need to know if you can record your voice onto a cassette tape through your radio?

Hi! It's me again. I wanna know how to record songs off of Youtube, the radio, stuff like that. But I don't know how. Do you plug it into the USB port and play the song? Do you hold it really close to the sound? I dunno. I tend to be pretty good with computers, so this one little problem is kinda embarrassing. I'd be really thankful! =]

are selling for less than the shipping and handeling. I know they are valued in the hundreds if not more. Can someone please explane that a radio over 70 years old sells for under thirty dollars?

I have a 1946 RCA Phonograph, as the title states, and I am looking to sell it. It is in gorgeous condition. It is the boston Ed. everything works, radio, lights, record player, everything. I am looking to sell it, and know absolutely nothing about antiques, and was wondering what ballpark I should be in with the price.
