Perfect Replacement Switch Covers

Sometimes these older Thorens turntables have been subjected to mishandling and/or poor packing, and the brushed aluminum switch covers get marred. There is really no good way to repair them other than replace them and these are perfect replacements. To make this even easier Dave provides a youtube video with detailed installation tips. Highly recommended

These aftermarket reel to reel wireless remotes are well designed and a pleasure to use.

They plug-in easily, are powered by the deck, work properly, and it's so nice to have a wireless remote to run all of the functions (except record which I do not want to accidentally use and erase one of my recordings). I personally prefer a different smaller rubber-grip sided learning remote that has fewer but larger buttons, and that I trained from the included Direct TV remote, but the remote is personal preference and the supplied remote certainly works fine. In training my preferred remote I made sure to NOT train the record function, plus I was also able to train the important controls for the amplifier and tape loop as well - so one remote does it all for me.

Best Pancake Griddle!

Best large Griddle for making Pancakes and French Toast for several people at the same time! The grids underneath nicely spread the heat from two electric burners over the whole Griddle surface, with little bother from cold spots that I have experienced on other add-on Griddle pans. If using it over a large burner and a small burner simultaneously due to the layout of a particular range-top, then I just turn up the heat knob on the smaller burner higher than heat knob on the larger burner. Clean-Up is a breeze too!

The WIX XP is a great oil filter up to the quality of the Mobil 1 oil that use for 10K miles per change.

A couple of years ago I was using K&N Oil Filters in my Honda SUVs, until the part of the filter where the removal nut was spot welded started developing leaks after 1000 miles. Thankfully there was no damage to either engine but after 2 I felt it wasn't a fluke and was in fact a design flaw in what I thought was the best aftermarket filter on the market. I did extensive research on other premium filters and started using WIX XP Oil Filters, which are slightly more expensive, and found they are great filters. They don't develop leaks and they seem to provide the full protection needed when the two Honda SUV Mileage Minders are asking us to drive 10,000+ miles on the Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil I use. I am confident the WIX filters are up to the task! I only wish the vendors that sell them on ebay would sell them in 2-packs or more to save shipping costs which are invariably included in the "free shipping" price.

A Real Ritchie for your Car!

Quite accurate direct reading compass for an automobile dashboard. It comes with a non-magnetic screwdriver and easy instructions to fine adjust the compass for the effects of a steel automobile.

OK, but would be a lot better if the shaft was DESIGNED for a drill chuck...

The biggest negative issue with this product is that its shaft that you tighten your drill chuck onto is round, and your drill chuck will slip on the shaft no matter how hard you try to tighten your drill chuck. Then you have to stop working and try to tighten your drill chuck even further. This product would be a lot better if it had the standard hex or triiple shaft specifically designed for use in a drill chuck - so the shaft wouldn't slip.

Sounds great and easy to carry!

Sounds great and is easy to move around to different places! The spatial speaker helps the highs and the bass-up allows deeper bass for music.

Nashville Skyline - Bob Dylan - 180+ gram 45rpm MFSL version

The opening track is an amazing duet between Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, and the high quality of this version really comes through! I also own the regular thin vinyl 33rpm version as well and it is a great performance but doesn't really pull you in like this high quality version does. This version is pricey but sounds amazing!!!

Plasticky and Flimsy!

This looked like it would be a good footrest for under the drafting table/bench, but it is way too wobbly. Even after modifying to make it more secure it is too flimsy and doesn't stay put. The only good news is that it was inexpensive. The bad news is figuring out what to do with it since return shipping is more than it costs...
