History What us trad rodders were doing in the 70's...

I caught a deal at a vintage record store near me. Buy 5 albums and get a turntable for FREE. I found a mini-boom box at Wallymart that had an AUX jack and I use it to play my albums. Nothing sounds better than vinyl.

 

So maybe ya need to get a 70's turntable, like a Garrard direct drive.

 

damn i love my vinyl!! i just bought a old cabinet style stereo to play them on since my old turn table bit the dust 15 yrs ago.thats how long it been since i got to listen to them.funny thing is while i didnt have a record player i was still lookin and buying albums at yard sales and anywhere else i could find them!!!

 

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 LP's. (that's record album's for the young guys). Years ago I sold close to 3,000 and then I lost about 1200 more when my folks garage flooded. Nothing better than a Belt driven (less noise and hum) turntable through the McIntosh Tube amp and JBL speakers. Sit me down with a glass of Whiskey and I can get lost for hours in the theatre of the mind

 

sorry brother but i am stuck in the 70s..and i aint leavin!!! still have long hair though it might be thinner lol hell i think i still got the same jeans from then but i do have new black t shirts..still use my 8 tracks and cassettes.i just bought my first cd player..lol. and i dont know any of the bands from about the mid 80s and on

 

Me two!!!
I crawled under a rock after '79 er so... Had a hard time getting used to that "new wave" stuff..... Like Devo

 

Since we are somehow on the subject of turntables, I would stay away from the usb ion junk. You can get an old quality pioneer for around $60-$70 and you can still convert to mp3s with it. there are guides on how to do it and it's pretty simple.

 

I wonder if that still stands????...

 

yes i changed a word in the quote but it fits me now and i was born in 1970 i just bought 4 awesome cd sets of music from 57-@60 at half priced books ya know the good stuff like duane eddy, eddie cochran, buddy holly and so on

bob seegers song old time rock and roll describes me fairly well


I HATE RAP crap and top 40 sh*t

 

Graduated in 1972 , Bought a 48 stylemaster coupe in 71 thought it was the coolest car on the block. Chicks didn't like it much. Moved on to a 57 2 door post, things got better,lol. The 70"s were a good time I was all into cars and married my high school sweet heart, those cars are long gone still have my bride and she has supported my cars the whole time.

 

Great photos! How old did you say you were?

 

Too......

QUAKE kicks Quisp ass. More sugar and twice the crunch: for when ya got the munch!

 

Paint this one Candy 'Reefer' Green and gold leaf "Naturally High' on the smoke tinted rear windows.

 

The Ramones appeared on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert on September 19, 1977 to give one of the show’s most historic performances.

 

The '67 'Stang is long gone as well as the '53 Mainline Tudor with a Merc crank, two pot Offy and Weber cam.

 

No long gone...today Nevada is one of "those" States.

Lol,think I may have a pic of this one... Street Machine Nationals???

 

Yes it was. I have a pix of it too!

 

I don't doubt that it still exists (the sign that is) in the graveyard outside of the city.

 

BUT THIS ONE WAS FIRST, SNAPPED AN AXLE, ROLLED IT, DID A POWERTRAIN TRANSPLANT.

 

Question .... Am I the only one that keeps my albums (LPs) in alphabetical order?

Question #2 .... Am I the only one that digs the shit out of the patina on the 57 wagon?

 

Sorry to be OT guys, but please be careful with those cheap-o turntables as some of them can be damaging to your records! Do your research here on the interwebs (if you can pry yourself from the HAMB) before you buy

As you were

 

I actually have a couple of old turntables and a Sansui quad synthesizer.

Being a basic '60s kid who thoroughly enjoyed all but about 2 years of the '70s. I still believe that rock and roll should be listened to without cleaning it up. That is my biggest beedf with CDs, they don't have the little cracks and pops and sooshing noises that vinyl does.

by the way I have never even hooked the synthesizer up and yes it did come back from SE Asia along with my propensity for opiates.

 

Yep alot of electronics sold through PACEX.... Pacific Exchange.

 

damn this is a big thread to read all at the same time. good thing I mostly just looked at the pictures

 

Panasonic! Buy 5 albums get a turntable for free! About 3 years ago, that is.
