Just sayin, make us old folks happy. There's Pizza Hut Classics. How bouta Little Caesars Classic? Pizza Pizza.

Hit the used bin. Best score is the 1987 Pressing of Live at Eindhovem. Blood Incantation, Ritual Mass, BT, and Herb. $60 all in, not bad.

1987 O.G. European pressing. That might be the only pressing?

Rotten Tomb, Original Japanese Quiet Riot Pressing, Funebrarum, Consecration, Left To Die, and Gutvoid. Hail the Yellow Toad!

A bunch of folks, including me ($140), bought records from her back in April. She never sent, ignored all messages, deactivated her Instagram account. But she is still posting on her personal account at "mellyburke" (Within the last couple hours has made it private, so it's very clear she knows she is being called out).

That Metal Podcast (who also got ripped off) u/that_metal_podcast did a piece on this today:

She's been deleting youtube comments.

Pretty shitty thing to do and way to ruin your reputation Melanie.

A few things I picked up in the last year.

MCS 8320 speakers - $30

Sony 5 disc player - free

80's (?) cabinet - free

My cd collection. And my N.E.S. :)

Total Investment $160

This is Jagger. He's a mischievous, love bug and has become my shadow. When we met he had an aversion for males, but after a bath and a lot of treats, he snapped right out of that and has been inseparable from me. We have been talking about fostering for 2 years and my family finally decided to take the plunge. Our 3 year old Dottie is loving having a friend.

I've got a fever, a fever for linear trackers. It's been a linear tracker summer for sure. Just picked up this basically brand new SL-5, still in box. I got it from the original owner who has had it in storage for over 40 years. It was his H.S. graduation present in 1983. He basically opened it, put it back, and never used it. He told me he moved out, never got around to using it, and then moved into the CD age. A couple weeks ago he got the itch to see if he wanted to get back into vinyl and he decided he definitely preferred streaming. So here it is now in my collection. Works like new. He told me the Audio Technica AT122LP Cartridge basically has one record of play on it.

I finally a chance to play with this today on Father's day. It had been in storage for 40 years. I expected the worse. Every bulb works. Every feature works. A little crackly from the controls and the rhythm switch is broken, but otherwise fully operational. What an odd gimmicky kind of ugly but also beautiful receiver. I love having all the tone controls even if they feel like they could break at any second. Why so many receiver companies made the volume knob look like all the other knobs is something Ill never understand. Screw on speaker terminals (boo). The tuner is strong, like every other Kenwood I've had. 2 Phonos, 4 speakers, 33wpc. Playing thru the Pioneer CS-53 speakers which also work great.

Just got back from a 4 hour round trip based off a blurry Marketplace photo titled "Old Turn Tables" and a super friendly seller. I spotted a corner of the Marantz and the Kenwood Jumbo Jet. I couldn't really tell what the speakers or the other turntable was. Needless to say I apologized to my wife and immediately left. It was an age old situation, son cleaning out the house of deceased parents. He held it for me until I got there.

The Marantz 6300 is in primo aesthetic shape (but it does not turn on, I'm assuming it's a switch issue or a capacitor issue). I've been wanting one for over 25 years and didn't think it would ever happen. The Jumbo Jet is also in great shape. Every switch is dirty. Time for some Bossa Nova beats! The other turntable was a dang Lenco L75! Swedish excellence. The speakers are Pioneer CS-53 and Kenwood KL-7090 (kabukis). Everything needs serviced, cleaned, etc.

I was sweating for 2 hours on the way there. Super duper stoked.

Today's sweetheart of a score. I was comparing it to my SL-1300. Assuming they are both 100% factory there are a couple differences I wasn't expecting.

The dustcover on the 1300 is smoked and the 1500 is not.
The hinges are different. The 1500 has internal screws to hold the dustcover. The 1300 slips onto the hinges. But the dustcovers arei interchangeable.

The headshell on the 1500 is basically the same as the 1300, but the arm is slightly more forward.

Just some observations. I don't normally gravitate towards manual tables but she's a beaute.

I've been on a linear tracker kick. I found this local and watched the price come down. It was listed as "powers on". I took a chance and brought it home. The dang thing works perfect. It's almost a cd player. Craziness. I will be pulling it apart to service, but this thing is neat.
