Where to sell 78RPM records?
Thanks for the offer but I drove them to my local library as suggested. They took them (to my surprise) but the first attendant I spoke with had never seen a 78RPM record before. Funny stuff.

Thanks to both of you. Money isn't the salient issue here so I'll look for some historical groups that might be interested in the donation. 
how can a line cord affect frequency response ?
**I could simple squirt Spray and Wash on my speaker cones**You'd better read the label first. If I'm not mistaken Spray and Wash only works on planars. Try Ortho-Cone and let us know. It is available in 4, 8, and 16 ohm solutions.

**do you know if Ortho "Bug-Geta" Snail Bait will work on the AC worm?**This is undoubtedly the most meaningful thought you've posted. The answer is, I'm not sure. The first thing I did was spray the entire power delivery components with Round Up....

**I forgot to check my headlight fluid the last time I put water in my tires.**You're poking fun at a very serious situation here. Recently an AC worm infiltrated my power conditioner rendering it useless. Before I became aware of that rascal, it ...

Classic Records 200g Quiex Vinyl - Who's Next
>>If you want the absolute best vinyl pressing of Who's next, you have to get the MCA 180gm<<No that's not correct. The 1971 pressing on Decca (DL 79182) kills the MCA 180g reissue.

Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable?
