#recordplayer — Public Fediverse posts

One other things I did for this #recordplayer #restoration that's just for aesthetics is getting all the rust and funk off of this crank handle arm. Started with steel wool and elbow grease, eventually a #Dremel and a wire brush attachment.

While at #Walmart I stumbled upon this in the electronics section. Record Vinyls and Record Players. Makes you wonder how bad the 'digital' music market is to start selling physical media again that was popular decades ago. I'm not complaining. Perhaps that the vinyls are stuck behind lock and key, but I for one am happy to see shit like this make a comeback. Anyway, what year is it? #Vinyl #RecordPlayer #Shrek #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy #Metalica #Chromakopia #StrayKids #BobSegen

Wie viel Jahre benutzt ihr eigentlich eure Schallplattennadeln, bevor ihr eine neue braucht?

How long do you use the needle of your record player before replacing ir?

His master's voice?
(Well, cats don't have masters--I'm head butler at best).
Anyway, I finally got the #EdisonCylinder #RecordPlayer/#Phonograph horn bell looking pretty nice.
There were a few rounds of (1) soak in ketchup (this really works), (2) scrub, (3) repeat.
Then I tried getting the really stubborn stuff off with bamboo skewers and various #Dremel attachments.
That worked, but left wavy patterns that I wanted to get rid of.
I tried scrubbing with Brasso. Helped a little, but no big effect, and OMG that stuff smells bad--it's like concentrated cat pee.
Finally tried gently swirling scrubbing with steel wool. That did the trick.

Just some random things going through my tiny little brain right now.

I don’t get hungry anymore. In this post-gastric bypass universe I go from feeling comfortably satisfied, skip right past normal hungry feelings, and catapult straight to oh my god I am so hungry it hurts why does my stomach hurt so much?

Normally that isn’t a big deal. I have something to eat and I feel better. Some days though, like the last couple of days, it gets a bit annoying. Some days I just can’t get out in front of the problem. I eat something, then an hour or so later I feel the hunger pains coming back. Normally I can go about three hours without any issues. Sometimes, like when I was visiting my father in the hospital and had other things on my mind, I could go twice that without my stomach perking up at all.

Today I finished breakfast at around 8:00am. I started feeling it at a little before 11:00am. I was drinking water at the time and had to pause for 15 minutes before I could eat again so I didn’t get any food into my empty stomach until 11:20. I had a quick snack. I was done at 11:26. The hunger pains were back in full force by 12:11pm. What the hell, bro? I went on lunch at 1:00pm so I made myself wait to eat anything more. I didn’t want to fill my new little stomach pouch before lunch and then throw off my schedule even more. I was able to sneak in a little water which helped a little but come on, stomach… you have to do better than 45 minutes, right?

Change of subject. Television shows that are currently being worked through.

• Mindhunter on Netflix. I’m about 3/4 of the way through the first of two seasons. It’s creeping me out. Good stuff.
• Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. I think I am an episode behind. The new season is good. I was nervous when I heard it was moving to Los Angeles, but so far it’s firmly grounded in New York where it belongs. It is also nice to have Paul Rudd back again.
• Agatha All Along on Disney+. Episode three is out today, I think. I’ll watch it tonight. I’m enjoying it so far.
• Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. The last couple of episodes feel like a small step back in terms of quality. Word on the street is the next two (the last two episodes of season two) are going to be spectacular. I’m all in.
• Dark on Netflix. I liked the first season. I’m halfway through the second season and it is struggling to hold my attention.
• The Orville on Hulu. Season three is a bit of a slog. The episodes are WAY too long and not good enough to justify the time commitment. It’s not bad, it’s just not that good.
• Futurama on Hulu. Gold. Absolute gold.
• Exploding Kittens on Netflix. It’s not bad, but I’m having a hard time staying invested in it.
• Coming Soon: Penguin on Max. The first couple of episodes are out but I haven’t watched them yet. I’ll get to them soon.
• Coming Soon: Daryl Dixon season two on AMC. The new season kicks off this coming Sunday. I’ll be there.

Dude… that’s a shit load of TV. I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten a couple of shows too.

I have some linens that I took from my father’s apartment. The plan is to donate them somewhere. My sister suggested the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen. It’s right around the corner from my house. I wasn’t sure if that was something they’d take so I Googled it today. Sure enough, they take bedding. They don’t take pillows or knitted blankets though. If I have any of those I’ll have to bring them somewhere else.

I also took a combination turn table, AM/FM radio, CD player, cassette player from his apartment. I haven’t found a home for it yet. I am thinking that tomorrow I’ll plug it in next to my desk and listen to old Rush records on vinyl while I work. That sounds like a good plan to me.

Okay then. Here’s hoping the hunger pains are taken care of for a few hours at least. I’m crossing my fingers… and symbolically crossing my bypassed digestive system too… whatever that means.

It works! #RecordPlayer #Phonograph #EdisonCylinder

I had to pack that spring, test, redisassemble, fiddle with the spring, repack, and repeat more times than I can count. But the #RecordPlayer spring motor is finally running! #Phonograph #EdisonCylinder

Ok realizing I may be opening a Pandora's box but...

I'm looking to purchase a vinyl record player at some point this year. I would ideally like it to connect to our Bluetooth sound bar, so if it doesn't have a speaker included, that's totally fine.

Any help, thoughts, and opinions regarding record players are welcome!
