Old Record Players and Old Records.
 

I went to a local indoor "yard sale" sort of operation supporting the county childrens' home and was stunned when the sign on the door said, "All records are FREE." Last month I got a 78 RPM Crosley record player for free and then a week later I got a 33and 1/3 and 45 RPM record player and humongus speakers for $25.00. I just needed records.

I went to the shop and began the laborous task of checking 6 BIG boxes of records. I brought 4 home and carried all to my den and fired up my record players. I am thrilled with ALL the great sounds I now have on establishment.

I have a box of Christmas stuff. Another box is Gospel songs. A big box is Country/Western and another is of "Oldies" ( the 1950s and 1960s.). Another box is Marches and Patriotic stuff in case the current Administration loses its way!

What is not to like? I have OLD stuff that one will never hear again on the radio. My dog also likes the oldies stuff. She has an ear for quality stuff, eh, wot?

Yep.
 

You gotta love them junk sales and giveaways.. I got a bunch of reloading books and a Herters Fly tying book..BUT I had to pay... well a little bit anyway. You did good..

But I think the patriotic music needs to go straight to Nobama..He done lost his way for certain..

Good for you an..a Crossley ..not many people know about Crossley these days. There was also a Crossley car...different company I think though

Had a guy....15 or so years back....give me a BUNCH of 78's......really old CW stuff....
Gene Autry, Sons of the Pioners,Hank Williams, Bob Wills....went to school with his kid Luke...whole buncha oldies. man, I don't have anything to play em on.

Ya know, now that I think about it......I've gone to school with and known a lot of famous people.........or their offspring. Me, I'm stll me....selling auto parts....man, one of these days I'm gonna realize something.....I'm getting old!LOL Still looking at the grass from the top side though.

Congrats on your find. Is it just me, or are 8 track tapes gettin' really hard to find?;):D

8 tracks no matter how you take care of them eventually go bad. Records with some TLC can last a LONG LONG time.

I have both, my players have long since died.

I tried to get a new stylus or cartridge for my Dual turntable the other day, that was pretty funny, in the wrong way. It has developed a hum in it and is still in great shape, with adjustable speed knobs, etc. But if I can not get the hum gone, it is of little use. I have grand kids that do not even know what a record is. :D
