| God doesn't need to know what time it is. tomcy6- Ralph had one heck of learning experience- Too bad Ralph didn't have the drive to stay with the guitar. He possibly could have developed into a decent player. Lessons equal to that would cost a fortune! His posture was pretty convincing... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. We are gonna be on this planet only once(depending on you beliefs.) You deserve getting what you want.

| God doesn't need to know what time it is. asctim- If it were me, unless it’s a ridiculous price, something like that IS worth restoring. I never get tired of watching this guys restorations. This one is minor to other projects posted on YT. Fascinating skill/trade | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. Great story isochronism. It raises an important question... Just who would I pick, If I could choose any of the greats for a one on one? "Wristwatches were made so one would not need to to reach into their pocket for the time. Now it has come f... | |

| God doesn't need to know what time it is. Bdp24- Now and then I wonder just how ridiculous my spending would be if I were in that league-01%? Sure would love to wrap my hands around a few classics normally unobtanium to mere mortals. The drum kit you have certainly is of more "value" t... |
