Ah Ed, what a flood of memoires came back, with the lyrics of the Late Great "Mr. Johnny Horton". 'The Battle of New Orleans' & 'Sink the Bismark'. Grandpa & I after Sunday morning Chruch, would crank up the ol'RCA Console, and smile, after also listening to Tennessee Erine Ford had sung '16 Tons' Thank you for the simpler times "Memories" Ed. I have a LP of each in my record collection to this day. Cheers Tom.

I have them and a number of other similar favorites also, Tom, although, these days, mine are digital. Those artists and performers were from a different generation and value system but foundational to our own as were were young boys growing up. They contributed significantly to the value systems so many of us embrace today. I hope today's value-challenged can find a similarly good foundation to build on.

A friend of mine has made a hobby business out of digitizing old 78s and Edison cylinders. The results he gets are astounding.

PS. If you didn't see it you should watch Ken Burns' Country Music series. The old recordings they dug up for the first part of it were amazing.

I repair classic consumer electronic equipment.
I suggest you replace the power supply capacitors in your amps and receivers.
The oil in them dried up decades ago.
They sell kits with all caps needed.
