I'm backed up here with posts to do!
Yes another one...
Well during a weekend lunch break,
Here's a big bomb drop.
I'm hesitant on getting throw-aways,
Nothin like a huffin Sunday morning!
Here's a quick front view.
All hooked up again after some burn in time,
We tested it for flick night,
For now the 1972 pioneer
Here's the stereo update...
The newer black box NAD sounded clean,
crisp but kinda boring.
The wife even asked why it was there.
We rarely used the cool remote feature.
Bummer too was the quick fix
was starting to glitch.
Remember that twisty wire?
The right side would occassionally disappear.
Well during a weekend lunch break,
what pops up but an old pioneer receiver.
I'll jump on anything that'll be in the c-note range!
Within an hour of the sellers posting,
it was already dissected on the table.
The insides were dusty,
and a quick vacuum cleaned things up.
I've officially peaked
and started slippin down the slope.
There's something called the trombone slide,
that has nothing to do with playing music.
My close-up vision was a little fuzzy,
and leave it to the wifey to get on it.
Maybe too many hours on this little phone...
I'm wearing 1.25 readers right now!
Holey Chit...
or a really pimp pair that I'll end up trashing.
Whatever the case having crisp vision again is nice,
especially when fiddling with this little chit.
Ok where were we...
Early Pioneer's used this funky speaker plug.
I tried modifying some spades,
and it worked great,
until I plugged it in.
The receiver sounded like a$$.
The seller said it was his pops',
and had it plugged in.
No way!
This needed the contact cleaner treatment big time.

Bring the whole family for the fun...
I ended up having to cut those spades off,
to plug the Sansui in temporarily.
Basically wasting the last spade connectors.
That's what I get for not testing it out first.
The new wire fix was easy,
soldering the wire ends flat with fresh solder,
making them more ridgid.
Worked!

Dig the trick little secret door,
and the cabinetry level wood.
That distracts from the simple meter-less display.
and the early sound was back.
Definitely not as technical as the NAD,
more of a Bloody Mary morning haze.
Grateful Dead bootleg recordings
are so much better through 70's solid state!
watching Star Wars 7,
one of the few movies we've seen on the big screen...
Twice!
Hey what can I say,
other than standin in line for the original
Star Wars was passed to the next generation.
The movie was great,
but the AMC theaters sound system sucked.
We're used to getting knocked out by the explosions
in our home theatre!
