For Sale FS: I think you REEL-y need this

[lxdude]

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:

 

[lxdude]

You won't have that problem with this baby. You can listen all day/all night to songs like this one:

No doubt- it's the reel thing!

 

[Jon Goodman]

Ok, ok...no more Eliane Elias. I know how addictive she is. Here's somebody you may know...or you may not know[video=youtube;a4GpVdutC8g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4GpVdutC8g[/video]
One of the best versions of that song I've ever heard...
Jon

 

[lxdude]

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...

 

[Jon Goodman]

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

Oh yes- I think ZAZ is short for joie de vivre!

 

[JohnRichard]

I have the all tube version of this Akai. Fantastic machine.

 

[Jon Goodman]

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.

 

[Jon Goodman]

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.
