new to this froum....=)....

by trimline62 » Wed Jan 30, 2013 12:45 am

hi there people. im new here. im only 24, but i have been a enthusiast since i was a small child. my dad was a MAJOR record collector. but i like records to, but i got way more into Changers, and players. ive just recently picked back up from having my interest drop off as a kid (the reason why i stopped then , was i didnt know any thing of coarse, and i dint know how to service or repair any thing =) ). so i finally got back into it...i have a few nice things, but 60's and 70's GE's are my passion hence my user name. please be patient with me, im taking baby steps in learning the craft or restoration. i do have mechanical background, so im simply learning the ways if this particular passion...=).....

here are a couple of my nicer treasures....=)

Welcome to very friendly and helpful forum.

You'll get plenty of advice, on looking after your "treasures" if you need it.

Your post is a "refreshing change" from the often first post from some of; "I've got this...what's it worth?" Which usually gets ignored.

thanx.....=)

can you believe that wonderful Westinghouse was going to be thrown away!!!!!....my BFF saw it and knew where it needed to go. the amp is still perfect, the motor in the Colloro was sized, and that is it!!!.....i think that little motor with that cooling fan is really kinda kool....was that a Collaro feature???
