The yogi tonight was selling a beautiful old inherited tube console stereo-mid century modern, great reviews on the sound. It wasn't rotating properly and I rec'ed a repair man. She got it fixed and is going to get many of my old LP's tonight. I might get some extra help out there. I bought a home near my office a couple years back, turns out my neighbor was a hoarder. She had a couple hundred albums from that era, and an old console record player that needs some work. At some point, I’ll look into restoring the record player and listening to some of the records. Kinda cool to have, one is shown here. 1 1

Here's the piece she was going to sell for $100. https://www.analogplanet.com/content/modernized-rca-1963 Hers is not "modernized". still it has 8 speakers built in and tubes! This was the best of the best in 1963. I gave her about 50 albums. Simon and Garfunkel, Joan Armatrading, Joe Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Chick Corea, Chuck Mangione, Neil Young, George Benson etc. Several were bought on sale for around $3- price tags still in place. Fully expecting an invitation to her and her husband's house to listen! This is what she has. Wish I had just handed her $100...but friends are priceless. and I like my system.

Turn him over. Absolutely no chance at the D nomination. He never had the chance to win the nomination. But he's far from done.

Fully expecting an invitation to her and her husband's house to listen! Love that one. I would think the one I have is mid1950s and not particularly high end. Same general style. I also have this console, obviously not the one here but same make, model. The TV guts are long gone, the radio turned on and worked, turntable (turntable went in the drawer at lower left) didn’t move. I’m actually thinking of doing something similar (no fish tank), but maybe put in a new turntable and speaker, put a bar behind the TV lens and with that assembly on a hinge.

I will add that if it sounds decent, I wouldn't put much money into the audio. It's almost certainly mono if it is truly from the 1950's. Edited July 14, 2023 by redtail hawk 1

Wacka Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Took a while, but RFK Jr. showed his true colors . He's stating that COVID was engineered to not affect Jews and Chinese as much. 2

Can anything good come from drunk old gentiles talking about "the Jews?" Umm, no. Then defends himself by saying that he didn't mean that COVID-19 was engineered to save the Ashkenazi Jews. But doesn't deny that it was engineered to affect caucasians (but not Ashkenazi Jews? What are they? Sub-Saharan Africans?) and blacks. And to spare Asians. And says something about genetic codes. Which is also very interesting since COVID-19 first burst on the scene when a BUNCH OF CHINESE PEOPLE DIED in Wuhan. What a frickin' idiot. How people have convinced themselves to support this guy is beyond me. Edited July 15, 2023 by The Frankish Reich

Maybe ... IF they are actually somehow protected (is there ANY epidemiological evidence of that?) then there would have to be some genetic basis for immunity. It is a preposterous stretch. So why does he say these things? Simple explanation: it feeds the Jewish conspiracy myths that have sustained the conspiracy theorists for centuries. 1

For decades, R voters have noted how the mystique of the Kennedy clan overcame a woman being left to drown in a car, a 10 hour walkabout after the car went in, ties to organized crime, allegations of sexual assault and rape, the Marilyn Monroe thruple, addictions, hypocrisy,JFK Jr recklessly responsible for wiping out a family, influence peddling, only to find RFK JR a bridge too far for democrats. COVID is the most lethal virus ever. It may have done it Camelot.

If he keeps polling at 20%, I say we listen to what the man has to say and keep him in the race. Btw, the Post story is deliberately misleading. RFK is clear on what he said, crazy or not. I never understand why these publications feel the need to rework and recreate dialogue, and why they are surprised when their credibility suffers.

The link you linked says this: https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews/ Did he say that? He says there are questions, but he does not declare that Jews were spared. He also talks about ethnic targeting of bioweapons, and that’s hardly a new idea nor particulars controversial, is it? It’s less than a two minute clip and as you’ve suggested, he hangs himself on his comments if one is inclined to see it that way. Let his comments tell the story. Or, preferably, let members of the democrat voting bloc support him in large numbers. 8 minutes ago, BillStime said: Are you serious? You have faith in polls after all projected a red wave?
