I had told myself that I was going to go the way of solid state again and not buy any replacement tubes, yet here I am… in the band aid stage after blowing one this morning. That said, I’d like to get my sights back in and not opposed to doing separates or the integrated solid state route...

It was - charged $32 and $6 shipping this go round. I did mention that it was on sale when I called since the clerk immediately suggested that I order it myself through the .com.

Forgot about this and remembered today to call for the deal. I think I’m out now, been an interesting mix of folks helping at Barnes through these purchases - truly a YMMV result.

Took a punt with some remaining credit I had left for the mystery anthology 2 pack and wound up with Bar-Kays “Soul Finger” and Odetta “My Eyes Have Seen”. I’ve somehow Frankenstein’d my way to 6 of the 8 in the Stax set. Also, bless to VMP for shipping that separately from the “bundled” ROTM...

For those still looking for discounted Beatles box sets at Barnes & Noble. The 3LP Abbey Road rings up in store at $22.50. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/abbey-road-the-beatles/34142727?ean=0602508007446#

I’m back in business now with a near gearbox installed. Little quirks, maybe, I feel like the sound of the rotation is a little different now and on my second plug in it didn’t fire on immediately. I’ll say, replacing the gearbox itself was super easy. However, getting the right sized tool to...

New gearbox is incoming so will try my hand there once it lands. Support crew was super responsive and came out to about $25 with shipping for the part.

That’s a bit reassuring, fingers crossed that’s the case for me too.
