| It's October I want to hear horror stories about equipment. Worst product design...Sylvania receiver (circa late 1972).

| Best driving music. Deep Purple..."Machine Head", for driving fast and hard on deserted streches of road! | |
| hopeless LP's I remember that years ago (70's), when radio used vinyl, we used to use a devise called a Burwin Noise Reducer that did a good job of reducing ticks and pops. Don't know where to start looking for one...maybe "Antique Electronic Supplies" in Arizo... | |
