Use escrow service to pay for speakers?
How much are you willing to wager?  
Stolen property
 Sometimes I think half the items, at least, on ebay, craig's list. etc are being fenced. If a burglary was reported serial numbers and descriptions were recorded, that info is not going to travel far from the precinct. There is a national databas...

I just can't stay away from TT posts, it's an affliction. For a first TT, or the first after a long absence, I will suggest keeping it simple. Avoid Uni-pivot and viscous damped tone arms for your rookie season. Frustration is a real possibility w...

Shoot, I forgot to mention fixmydual.com. Depending on the model they might be able to fix, and improve your inheritance. I think that would be so cool.  again, have fun, that's what it's all about

Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks!
I'm not a subwoofer guy. Is there a sub with RCA inputs on the market that is designed to be connected to speaker output connections (that's a lot of current for an RCA type)? I would recommend that you send an email to the sub maker include all t... 
Cornwall iv
The Cornwall was designed for "corner" or "wall" placement. Very easy to drive, until the divorce they were excellent R&R speakers. Everyone should own a set of horn speakers at least once on their journey. I've stumbled across little companie... 
AR-XB. Is it worth a new motor?
Parted out you should recover your cost with a good frame (revolutionary design), arm, bearings, plinth and platter. BUT the AR-XB is a fine piece of audio history and worth saving or passing on. Acoustic Research was a benchmark company. Here's a... 
Dedicated 20 amp circuit. 10/2 or 10/3?
Circuit breakers at the Bus? If you are running a dedicated breaker for each piece of equipment (you are going to need some 2 and 5 amp breakers, and with no AC motor loads I would ask why have a separate circuit for everything?... I would first c...
