Oops! I think the above might make more sense if RCA is changed to CBS. Not sure though; I thought RCA was behind mechanical scanning, but aparently not.

Hi.

The government tells us that to drive a car on a public road, we MUST have insurance. Fair enough, but I reckon they should offer the most basic RTA (road traffic act) insurance themselves,...

I can't really imagine anything producing a true colour picture, as the CRT could only output shades of grey.:

I think that's pretty much how Field Sequential worked. Pioneered by RCA in the...

This lot can be helpful.

A Cowboy Named Bud

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.

The driver, a...

Thanks Dave,

Sooner or later my 24 year old Sony CTV 25 is going to expire; in due course I'll probably go for a digital TV. That pixel count '1280 by 720'. It seems the higher the numbers, the...

Hi Dave,

Size is 32". As to pixel count, all I know is the owner says it's "1280 by 720". I may have misheard but he's just gone out can't ask him again.

Jim.

Hi,

My daughters partner brought his LG flat screen LCD digital television over at Christmas for my youngest daughter to play her games on.

It's fine on games, but what I've noticed on this set...

I'm using a PS1 as well, serial number SCPH 5502. From what I've read, this is essentially the same as the 5001. I can't compare it to other CD players as prior to using it, I used a Panasonic...

Post moved to where it should be; the one started as "Messy Pup".

Hi Dave,

I think that's the mistake we made. When we adopted the newcomer he was in quite a state; as an un-neutered Tom he got into a lot of fights, most of which he lost so we made a bit of a...

It says anything goes, so here goes. We have 6 cats, 5 for a long time and a stray we've adopted. The stray (ex Tom) has been castrated, looked after and he gets on great with all the other...

I don't mind a deal that completes after November 30th as long as it's in place by then. What I don't want is a long string of maybe's/could be's that goes nowhere. I have as they say "been there...

When I coupled a pair of Lowther PM7's to an old Decca 'Sterogram' (early stereo record player). The Decca had an 8 valve amp, fully overhauled by Phil Taylor. Ok, with the amplifier under the...

Hi. Home wanted for two odd speakers. The Isophon measures 8.1/4" x 12.1/2 x 7.1/4" deep; the other one measures...

Interesting. The only 100 rpm disks I know of were made by Pathé in the 1900's. Vertically cut disks, they were reputed to sound better (`though quieter) than contemporary 78 rpm lateral cut disks....

If I can join in gentlemen, I've found vinyl playback can at it's best do more than just equal CD; it can add a sense of space to the music. OK, maybe sometimes it can sound a little like sitting...

For sale, a pair of Quad ESL 57s, serial numbers 9348 and 9309. According to Quad, they were manufactured in 1963. There is some history with these speakers. They were bought new by the owners of a...

There's a pair of these on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=300270925445&Category=14993null&_trksid=p3907.m29 How often do these things turn up? Rear view shows one speaker...

Hi. Does anyone know how much it takes to keep a pair of ESL 57s powered up when not in use? Are we talking the equivalent of 100 watt light bulb, 50 watt, 10 watt ??? Some people say they should be...

Hi.

There used to be a handy compatability chart (I think from One Thing Audio?) that showed `safe' amplifiers to use with the ESL57. I had it saved in my favorites but it comes up 'Site Not...

Fair enough. I was more concerned about playing records that have been given a basic clean and still sound a bit rough. I may have overstated the case; they're not that bad, just noticeable. Thanks...

We all know worn records can sound pretty rough. I inherited a load of mid 60s classical stuff from an old gentleman who by the sound of it (intermittent hiss plus a fair assortment of clicks and...

Built as a record player only; it has inputs for external tuner and tape. Cosmetically nice; grained wood finish with matching speakers. I cannot test the record deck as the stylus is missing but...

The Centurion was around 1970 IIRC. Does it use a Garrard AP75 or a lenco, I can't remember.

Thanks DSJR. It has a Garrard deck; I can't test it as the stylus is missing but it makes a satisfying...
