Turntable Disaster

Wednesday

The 3.5MM jack to RCA cable to connect the AR deck to the computer arrived. Trouble is I have somehow screwed up the tiny Haydon synchronous motor so there's nothing to turn the turntable. The deck looks great - it just doesn't work.

I'm now planning to transfer the jazz vinyls to DAT and then put them on the computer, unless someone can come up with a repair or replacement for the Haydon/Philips motor.

Merl Kapram sent me a piece about some UK newspaper that's trying to get its readers to email voters in Clark County, Ohio, to persuade them not to vote for Bush. It sure seems to have stirred up a few Good Old Boys.

Merl likes to keep us up to speed on these things. He's had a bad stomach recently but is obviously feeling better now. An Apple a day man is Merl. He reckons that if the Brits really want to make a point, they should boycott American goods. Let them try - see how they get on without Apple and Microsoft. The British Navy would be stuffed for a start but that's another story.

Where does all this spam come from? "Discount direct prescription medications", "Did you want a Rolex for $75?", "She will smile tonight".

Ok so I am now the guy who can't walk normally because he's built like a petrol pump, wears a fake "Rolex" and who has to bum drinks off everybody because he's spent out on "get bigger, stay longer" pills.

Keep it coming you spammers.

Hey, I haven't had that spam from "Prince.IDRIS BAKO Chief Auditor, audit department of Fund release Orderin central Bank of Nigeria and Nobody knows what is going on except I and two of my workers". .....I feel neglected.....
