I used to do work for the juke box crowd, which is why this guy paid me in
vinyl. I had a Wurlitzer from the early 60s I was considering restoring, and
had mentioned this to him. Unfortunately, the Wurlitzer was so far gone that I
eventually gave it away on FreeCycle just to get it out of my b
Hard to figure. I ended up with a complete set of Babs Striesand LPs a few
years ago. Put them on fleabay and sold the 20 or so disks to some guy in San
Fransisco for $150. These were not anywhere near good, just a full set of her
vinyl. Some were in sorry shape, but not scratched to shreds.
Look into the juke box crowd. Those are high end collectables, and a guy with
one may want to have a period specific set of disks for his machine.
I was at the auction Friday, and there was a 1952 Seeburg 100 that went for
$2k. It will be torn down and given a solid refurb. Buyer thought he
There is a shop here in Charleston I was reading about the other day, it
used to be a record store but that did not work out, so now they just
sell on-line. The owner said their biggest problem is finding enough
inventory. I tried to find the article but couldn't -- it might be

Perhaps break it up into groups, by artist or something.

Most record shops buy vinyl. You can have them give you a price and if you
don't like it you don't have to sell it to them. With so much competition
on eBay and the cost of shipping that much weight what do you think you'd
get and how much more or less would it be than the record shop?
On Sun,
That reminds me. I have a Fisher 400 receiver sitting in the closet waiting to
be recapped. I even have all the caps, too.
A good project for the upcoming spring break, I guess

My vinyl is mostly once or twice played. I moved it to analog mag
tape. The tapes are so old (distorted) that I need to move the
sounds on vinyl to some other media. Then I plan to sell the near

One of the biggest setbacks in music was the 1980's remastering when the CD
became the preferred consumer format. Many of those original digital
remasters were not done very well by today's standards. Some artists have
digitally remastered their albums a second time and the quality is much
better
Re: convenience
That's what the world of digits is all about. Good analog vinyl still beats
digits with tube amplification.

It's not really too bad if you know the tricks

Ok Thanks. That is what I was wondering. I thought maybe the newer
stuff was as good as a 40 year old turntable.
Sounds like turntable, receiver/amp, audacity is the thing.

You can use Audacity to convert a 78 played at 45 -- there is a feature
in there to do that. Rip it then do the conversion. I have a bunch of
old 78s someone gave me, and ran a few of them through. I wouldn't
bother with one of the new USB things, just run a monitor out from your
receiver to
You would get better conversion with a better turntable, but not the same
level of convenience. A good turntable cartridge is either near or more
than the cost of the entire USB turntable...

They are just Chinese turntables running through normal USB sound card ICs,
as I understand it. Gain is optimized out of the box but the big benefit
is convenience.
Also the software automatically splits tracks; I don't know if Audacity can
do that, but I wouldn't buy an Ion for the software...
I believe Macs have had decent to high end audio. I am not concerned
about the sound "card" at this point. It seems to me that the
software and its sampling rate, compression and that sort of stuff
are more of a concern than the turntable or the sound on the
computer. I figured on using auda

My pioneer turntable won't do 78s either.
