Chris "Lonewolf" Becker Honorary Rave 1/24/15 1-6 PM

[goldlizsts]

OK, guys, I'm getting rid of some junk.  I still have likely 100+ LPs.  So I want to make room.  I stopped cleaning up with my analog LP things several years ago.  So, at this Rave, perhaps I can bring them around and lay them on the floor for a "finders keepers" round?  They pretty much are easy listening and classical recordings.  No punk, hard rock, metal, disco, doo-up.  I stopped buying LPs like around the time Donna Summer was hitting it big.

The vinyls are in very good say I'd say, except for jack wear and tear.  Some may even have not been "needled".  Easy listening like Henry Mancini, Mantovani even, even may be Beatles.  Some country/folk, like Joan Baez.  Classical mostly are orchestral (not too many Chamber) and opera (recitals and Puccinis....).

Will there be any interest?

Hey Shek,
You can drop 'em off at my place on the way to Emil's... I'll even drive you to Emil's way out east & back to save some gas money... 

Sound like a plan? 

Cheers,
Pete

Sold, to the highest bidder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Shek, don't be so quick to jump on the first offer. 

I would hold out for someone to pick you up and drive door to door.

Damn!!!!!!!!!! I jumped my gun, didn't I?  With the way things are these days, after "serious" consideration, I took several offers already.  That's because if I bring them and lay them in Emil's living room, there may be casualties even, as vinyl is celebrating its big renaissance these days.  I did toy with the idea of going back, buying one of those cheap TT offered recently on Audio Advisor, with a composite arm and even a cartridge.  I heard the composite arm at an VPI event couple of years ago, and I was really impressed with the sound from it.... Or, wait more yet, since 3D printing is the rage now, print my own tonearm....  Nah!

Well, see what other dirt I may dig up next!

[BobM]

Hey Pete, we're driving out together, right?

Do I get to sift through the vinyl detrius?

[Levi]

I am out!   Riding road bike with Chris "Lonewolf", Phil, and Tito.

Started to box 'em.  There's at least 3-4 45 RPM LPs.  Does your TT play 45?  Should play 33/45?  No 78's, mind you .  I had them at one time, believe it or not, when I was like converting them for a piano teacher, good Schnabel recordings.... if you heard of that guy.  Oh, Buddy has 78s.... Now I'm left with the Chinese ones; what'm I going to do with them?  You don't want them?  

'nuf rambling.  Oh, also still have a box of 7" 45s (vs the LP mentioned above).  These are mainly "hit" 45s from the 60's, 70's, 80's?  I'd say 40-50 of them?  Anyone interested, if not Pete?

Update:  Damn!!!!!!!!! I think we now are heading to the 300 count.  I'm going to get a hernia out of this.  I'll have to figure out how to get them loaded into the car.  I have to break 'em up into small packages.  The damn McDonald McNugget box is getting toooo big/heavy.  It now alone must have like 150 albums in there now (a 2nd one I counted 80 already).  

Let me look into hiring a coolie to haul them.

[goldlizsts]

Does anyone still play with Laser Discs?  I still have several.  I got rid of the Marantz LD player several years ago, so.... I have to also take care of the LDs now.  Guess they're like cassettes or 8-track cartridges.  Any taker?  Lawrence of Arabia, etc... classic, except on a forgotten medium..... and others.

[rollo]

I am out!   Riding road bike with Chris "Lonewolf", Phil, and Tito. 

Loos like Chris is going to miss his own party. 

    I hope he at least called Emil.

[Barry (NJ)]

I'd like to come if it's not too late to request attendance.
Maybe I can meet up with Deepak and Bill for the ride out(?)

If you can get from NJ to my place in Mineola with Deepak, I'll be glad to drive from here to Emil's and give Deepak a break.

LMK ahead of time so I can empty out all of my real estate cr@p from out of the back seat!
