Linda mentioned that her garage door opener is not working correctly. I have never personally had one.
Something we had a few years back, at our old house,in our upstairs bedroom was a lamp plugged into a remote control device....

Do to popular demand, I am writing a post about my main stereo system.
A I mentioned in a previous post, I was able to use De-Oxit (basically an electrical contact cleaner) to get my 1971 Kenwood KR-5150 stereo receiver working...

I just took this photo. It is of a 1971 Sherwood S-7100A that I own. I've owned it for several years. I can't even remember where I got it, but I think it may have been sent to me by a fella in Texas in thanks for some speaker...

I got this one done yesterday. One of the connectors on the back of one of my 1970 KLH Model Six loudspeakers had become loose. It sounds simple, but to tighten it down you have to go inside the speaker and hold a screw tight...

So the other night I am awakened at 4 AM by scuffling sounds in my house. I follow the sounds to my main stereo, and see kitty carefully studying my conrad-johnson MF-80 stereo power amplifier.
Kitty appreciates good music. She...

The day after Xmas my brother came to visit again and this time he gave us one of his sound system. It's old but still has good use. The thing that is able to connect itself with recent tech is the audio connector. It's tape and...

My NAD CD player started distorting a few weeks ago. I've had it for a few years, and my apartment is pretty dusty, so I decided to take the top off and give it a good cleaning with De-oxit, which is basically an electronic...

For two years, only the right channel of my "bedroom stereo" has worked. I did all of the basic testing (switching connections, etc.), and decided that the left channel of my Jolida 102B tube amplifier had gone dead.
It didn't...

I sent a pair of ADS 710 loudspeakers home with their owner on Tuesday.
It took me several weeks to restore them but most of that time was just drying time for my magical solutions for the speakers.
The owner was happy and paid...

Right now, I'm listening to "Baroque by the Bay" on my "kitchen system," which consists of a 1969 KLH Model 21 radio hooked up to a custom speaker I made out of an empty 1971 KLH Model 24 speaker cabinet.
In my "listening room"...

The tuner case I've been working on is all done and ready to go home. It wasn't a particularly difficult restore--all I had to do was replace some missing veneer, sand it down, and oil it up.
I just ordered some glue and other...

I recently bought a new subwoofer. It's basically a 16" cube with a 12" woofer (bass driver) and an amplifier inside. It reproduces only the lowest frequencies in music.
My old M&K V-2B (a classic) hadn't sounded the same since I...

Actually, I did most of the work on this one, but my child laborer helped with some of the surfaces and convinced me to test the silent tweeters to see if the tweeters or capacitors were at fault.
It turns out it was the...

Actually, it would be a $350 item if it were working perfectly, but it's not. But I did get it for free. Last weekend (or was it the weekend before?) I drove out to Sacramento to pick up a single Dynaco A-25 (a vintage loudspeaker...

For the last couple of weeks, I've been working on a pair of KEF 104/2s. They are not-quite-vintage loudspeakers from the 1980s or 1990s. I think their retail price was somewhere between $2,000/pair and $3,000/pair, but I'm not...

After a busy start to the week, I finally have some time to myself. My task for tonight is to hot glue a screen onto the frame of a KLH 24 vintage loudspeaker that was given to me. It's a single (called an "orphan" in the...

I have the morning off and am heading down to the disorganized shop of that fella I've mentioned in other posts. I do some speaker restoration work for him, and he sometimes provides me with speakers that I can fix up and sell. He...

In a previous post (or was it a post on "that other site?"), I mentioned a guy I do some stereo restoration work for. He owes me about $700 and always has an excuse not to pay me. His divorce lawyer is taking all his money. Sales...

On another day, I may do a post called, "Are you cool, like me?" But today, I'm focused on my geekiness. On my way to work, I was listening to a report about the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) as a former haven for geeks. It's...
