Digital sound has made an old joke of mine obsolete: If someone who loves books is a bookworm, what is someone who loves tapes?


BTW, you just have to stop posting these videos by Elaine Elias! I just get over her, then I fall in love again!:wub:

One of the best versions of that song I've ever heard...

Yep! I've herd this version It is both unusual and fun to listen to. Appropriate, too- Yippie-yi-oh-Akai-ay.


My favorite version is still Maryann Price's though...

Yes! Akai-ay. Glad you've herd it, too. Certainly you haven't missed this lady in France:

It is a fantastic machine. Is the all tube version heavier? Hard to imagine that.

Zaz certainly has joie de vivre! Have you also been watching what Roberto Alagna is doing these days?

21.5 kg - from the factory manual. This is NOT including the additional 12" stereo speaker pair I have that came with the machine.
My personal machine's reversing clutch is warn and I'm thinking about pulling the amps out and modifying them for microphone pre-amps.

We'll see.

That would be about 47~48 pounds. I just checked and mine weighs almost exactly 47 pounds. Interesting. Have you thought about repairing the clutch? Sad to see one scrapped.
