In a comment down below, James Reasoner asks how I play those old LPs I buy at the DAV store. My turntable, like his, went south a couple of years ago. I could probably have found one at the DAV store, come to think of it, but what I did instead was buy one of those "retro" combo players that you see all over the place these days. It has a turntable, AM/FM radio, and CD player. The turntable plays only 33-1/3 and 45 rpm records, which is too bad, since I have some 78s. And of course the sound is nothing like many of you stereo buffs require. But it's good enough for me.

I've got one of those, too...bought one off eBay, and it's one of those Thomas record players built to look like an old radio. I've got a few stacks of LPs with OTR shows, so I take them out now and then to give them a listen and it's almost like listening to them long ago...almost.
I have over 6,000 albums in my collection. Over the years I have bought duplicates on CD, but being a purist, I still love the sound of vinyl. So, I have three turntables, all in excellent condition. Funny, the kids still ask what they are for.....
