The adapter (the blue plastic knob) came yesterday.
So Andy changed the cartridge back to 45 rpm/331⁄3 rpm.
Then we recorded the missing excerpts to a wave file, and I went back to audio editing in Audacity.
When I finish editing and making a CD, we should be done. It sounds a lot better than our first try, and we’re glad we’re doing it. We also won’t be sorry when we finish!

Gee, that’s interesting. I’m glad it shows alive in Audacity. It’d be a straight line if dead. (I’ve watched doctor TV shows.)
😀 I love it!
bhb. you crack me up. LOL.
and that annoying little loud straight line beep along with it. . .
and monk
and andy
WOW.
i just stand in awe.
aren’t those old players with the lucite lid pretty though. i always thought so.
they are expensive and they look it. nicely done.
It is attractive. It was fun to use it again. We mostly use it only at Christmas to play some favorite carols.
congrats on proving that you shouldn’t “throw the baby out with the bath water” and there is “still some juice in the old girl” – well that keep you two entertained for a few weeks over winter – now to come up with another project “to keep you off the streets”
I wish my project could be accomplished that quickly – but I’m seeing a clearance at least of excess stuff in one room.
My studio workroom is filling up with oddments that can recycled or used in other ways – so before the end of this month hope to be in there, finding better homes for it all than thrown on a couple work benches!
I’m afraid I’m never at a loss for projects to work on. I pushed a few aside to work on this one.
Good luck on the recycling, reorganizing. It’s a big job.
