Hey - what about those lenses - your buddy got any of those?

What I'll need is a digital converter box eventually.

Now I *know you're lying - *you liar liar pants on fire.

There is no way in hell those mechanical tuners, in particular on that
Zenith, would have held up all those years.

NO FREAKIN' WAY.


Actually. I DO have an old Emerson "Home entertainment center." with a
color 20" at dad's that DOES still work well. the pots on the BSR
turntable are a bit scratchy, but it still plays 45's, 33's and 78's
pretty good. It's not one of the belt drives. it has a rubber roller
that runs on the inside of the platter. I did ahve to clean out some
mud dobber nests and lube it with some light oil, but it took off jsut
fine.

I haven't investigated the 8-track player yet.
