I was taking apart my portable gramophone to relube it because of tone arm friction issues when I dropped it on the hard concrete floor, cracking it. I meassured the ID and got 35 mm. Is this a common/standard size? Im hoping I can replace it with a part from another tone arm.
My local record shop doesnt have very many 78s, so its pretty easy to look through their entire collection. Thought 15 was good, Ive seen inkspots records vary greatly in price.
This happened a few days ago, tank has been sitting empty with plants in it since.
I had a 15 gallon tank that has been going strong for over 4 years. Planted tank, no issues whatsoever Before this. Before the new fish all I had in it were 2 black neon tetras and a female betta. I added 2 more black neons and an otocinclus at around noon, watched them all day. No signs of sickness, no red flags, nothing. Went to bed, woke up the next day.
The 4 tetras, the otocinclus, the betta, all dead.
I removed them from the tank and tested ammonia and nitrite, fearing a crash. 0ppm nitrite and amonia was near 0 as well. I looked online and the most likely cause was and from what I gathered a bacterial infecrion brought in by one of the new fish is what most likely caused it. I bought the fish from a reputable small petstore chain that ive had no issues with at all. I disposed of the fish, not planning on getting a refund any time soon anyway. (The store is over 1.5 hours away, I live in a very rural place)
Sorry if I come off as incoherent, Im just still really upset. Is there anything else I could have done, or was it out of my control? Im probably gonna empty out the tank and store it for the forseeable future.
Hi yall, im new to paypal.
I tried making a $20 payment to someone using my banks check card. My bank falsely flagged the transaction as fraud, I disputed it without an issue. Even though I got it taken care of, paypal still has my card marked as "unavailable". I tried removing and readding my card, but it didnt work. Is there anything else I can do?
This old philco radio/record player is for sale near me. Is there any reason why it would be a bad idea to use it for playing 78s over a modern setup?
Found at my local savers. As soon as I saw it I stopped looking through the remaing pile of 78s and went right to checkout. Its very audible while playing, and Ill have to try the nail polish trick to stop the crack from spreading.
Had to toy with the magazine to get it to feed properly, but besides that didnt have any issues. Put 5 rounds of 5.5 swiss through it and she ate em no problem.
I recently ordered a sporterized schmidt ruben (the one in the picture) and Im a little confused. Its listed as being 7.5 swiss, but looking online it seems most sporterized swiss rifles like this are converted to different calibers (most often 308). Are sporterized schmidt ruben rifles that havent been rechambered common, or is it likely that the listing was wrong and its actually 308? Just thought Id ask here before I pick it up tomorrow.
Fun little Iver Johnson model 50A I got at an auction recently. Those diet coke cans dont stand a chance
I would of bought all of them if they were regular 78s I could actually play, lol
Hi yall, Im sorry if this comes off as ranty, but Im at my wits end right now.
​
This started roughly 2 weeks ago when my transmitter lost connection to my phone (not my tslim x2!) roughy 4 hours before the sensor expired. I thought no big deal, Ill replace it a hair earlier.
​
I replace my sensor, transmitter connects to phone just fine. It warms up, a few hours later looses connection to my phone, not my pump. I contact support, they send my a new sensor. When my current one expired, I used the replacement one. Same thing happens; warms up, looses connection to my phone, stays connected to my pump. I sweat this sensor out I (unfortunately just happened to run out of skin grips at this time) and I call support. They overnight me a new transmitter, but I ran out of sensors and couldnt pick up more because pharmacy was closed due to weekend.
​
Fast forward to today. I picked up a box of sensors, connected the new transmitter to my phone and pump, started a new sensor in the app, waited for warm up, and calibrated when needed. Everything was smooth sailing up until an hour ago when it lost connection again to my phone again. It has yet to reconnect.
​
I have no idea what to do besides calling dexcom support tomorrow again. Im afraid theyll tell me either to switch to g7 (me and my parents havent stepped foot in the hell that is getting insurance to cover a new prescription) or tell me that my phone is the issue (I have a samsung z flip 5 and have had no issues like this before).
​
Its vital that my transmitter is connected to my phone because I currently live with my parents, and Im a VERY heavy sleeper. Theres been multiple times where Ive had an urgent low and theyve been notified through follow of it while im out like a stone. If they dont have access to my bloodsugar, I might sleep through an urgent low and my parents wont be notified to wake me up.
​
Again, sorry if this comes off as ranty, Im out of ideas at the moment. If it helps Im running app version 1.16.0.291 on a z flip 5. If theres ANYTHING I can do to fix my issue, no matter how obvious it may seem, please share. All help is welcome.
I think it would be really really cool if they released a hidden in the sand single on proper heavy duty shellac that can be played on old wind up gramophones. These machines are a lot more common then edison cylinder machines, plus the record can still be played on modern record players (with the right stylus).
I know it will probably never happen, but a girl can dream
