Death of Prime posted:My father in law gave me his record player from the 70s. It's a Philips 312. He tells me the only bad part on it is the stylus. I was able to disconnect it from the 4 wires behind it but with some googling I can't seem to find a replacement. All I come up with its a small plastic piece with the needle, but I assume I need the whole assembly. The small plastic piece with the needle is the stylus. That's likely all you need. They're easy to swap out without disconnecting anything. What you have in your hand is the whole cartridge. You COULD replace that with a completely different cartridge but it shouldn't be needed. Cool turntable btw. edit: since your cartridge is disconnected now, be careful when screwing it back in that it's aligned correctly. There are printable turntable protractors out there that are easy to use.

All I come up with its a small plastic piece with the needle, but I assume I need the whole assembly. The whole assembly is called a cartridge. The stylus is a smaller piece that you remove from the front of the cartridge and it contains the needle. A replacement stylus might be cheaper than replacing the entire cartridge.

Door opens with a creaking sound, "Enterrr" RN, at my SA mart page the only records I'm listing is this like-new copy of the Ring cycle I found, and I'm also going to be listing that direct drive turntable at sa mart. I'm trying to not metastasize my selling activities to my other threads though, so please go there and have a look. I will announce it here when I list a few records and that turntable. A lot of my interests are musical or music adjacent though, so I'd invite all of you to take a look at https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4016919 I'm starting to unpack some albums, I've kept all my records in crates till now, I just got a bunch of cabinets for them.

got the L.S. Dunes debut album. Love the blue. It's got a marbled look to it that doesn't come across as nicely in picture as it does in person, but it's also not as marbled as the store preview picture did. This was the 1500 limited pressing, as well, but I also think the standard orange vinyl pressing they did looks nice too, at least in the store preview.

Hit up the other Wal Mart and got Taylor Swift Red 4xLP for $15, the new Revolver mix, Zeppelin Coda, and Rolling Stones Hot Rocks 2xLP. Sadly no Use Your Illusion 1 so my collection will remain incomplete. There's some really good deals out there for the multi-disc sets if you find a Walmart that hasn't been picked over.

Bit of an early Christmas present for myself, gonna be happy to finally have all my records in one location again. Right now they are spread around in 3 different rooms in the house. Ikea OBEGRÄNSAD  Was going to go with just a regular Kallax, but they have been out of stock forever it seems like.

It would be nice to have the extra shelves for a tape and CD player.

Yeah, kinda sucks paying nearly double for those shelves but will be very nice to have a spot for my tape deck and a CD player.

At one point I was trying to move away from Ikea furniture and try and make my place look more adult, but as I started buying other brands, I realized that Ikea products are often very good quality, and shelves like this one are absolutely perfect for records. And much of the furniture industry has tried to imitate Ikea with flat packing and MDF wood, even pricey stores like Crate and Barrel and West Elm. I spent years trying to find the perfect entertainment stand to house all my movies and game systems, when I finally just custom made one through Ikea that perfectly suited my needs and looks good. Yeah, it's not as nice looking as that $900 piece I had my eye on forever at CB2, but it's more functional, and half the price.

I got Kallax knockoffs from Walmart. My first 16 cube one was fine, although a pain to assemble by myself. I got a second set but haven’t assembled it yet. There are a lot of pissed off recent reviews on Walmart site saying the build quality has gone down and the dimensions are smaller… I’ll see if I can get it together and report back. These are just for storing records, my turntable etc are elsewhere

When I was a kid I loved the song Prime Time so much, I imagine the video was from this performance or one much like it. I didn't realize that they tried to make a "show" like some kind of musical. It's really clever and witty here and there, but the music leaves me feeling like Andrew Lloyd Weber could have composed it. But it still gives a glimpse into how we perceived the world back then. Has a peculiar "theatre kids" feel to it. petit choux fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Nov 23, 2022 |

I had two cocktails and then swung by the record store while my partner went comic shopping and got these:  Had to laugh as I remembered there's several artists named Felt, and went "WHICH FELT ALBUM?!" at a goon who was definitely not talking about the hip hop duo.
