  1. Whenever anyone suggests Amazon - especially in local stores - my response is increasingly:

    ”I try not to support billionaires!”

    Anything to add to my list of alternatives?
    1) Buy locally from stores like #AceHardware, #staples
    2) Online electronics from #BHPhotoStore, #Crutchfield
    3) Directly from company websites

    Maybe more questionable:
    #Walmart - Are they better than Amazon?
    (see last post & ⬇️)
    #NewEgg - electronics
    #bestbuy - improving?

  5. @mason I feel this in my bones & work diligently to NOT use Amazon.

    Here's my alternatives:
    1) Buy locally from independent stores like #AceHardware
    2) Online electronics from #BHPhotoStore, #Crutchfield or #staples

    Maybe more questionable:
    #Walmart - are they better than Amazon? (serious question)
    #NewEgg - electronics
    #bestbuy - improving?

    Even with all this - Amazon is often the cheapest & easiest alternative for many... good luck with convincing people to not shop there.

  10. This is odd. Edison #CylinderPlayer s have these little screws so that you can adjust the level of the reproducer (and stylus) relative to the cylinder. My original player has one, but it's missing in the one I'm fixing up now. I have no idea what size it's supposed to be. I went to a local #ACEHardware and searched all over for one that would fit.
    I found one that seemed to. But it's metric! That can't be correct, can it? It fits with a little wiggle, but so does the original, actually. They were only $0.47 each, so I took some home. Cheap enough to get as an interim and toss if I find a more accurate fit later. (Would have been a low-cost shopping trip, but they have a big display of jars of honey and BBQ sauce to catch you on the way out).
    I will be consulting with the masters of the cylinder player internet over this.
