Re: Friday Jokes
No, I only know 'normal' people. I Cyprus my neighbour in the block bought the only Quad turntable on the island. He also bought the ONLY record on the island.
While I avoided a Betamax I sadly bought the superior Philips system. Thereafter I was happy buying the blunt edge of technology.
I like the Samsung Smart Phone. I am considering splashing out £15 on one.

Re: Friday Jokes
While slumming on TOP I saw a Lada joke. Here's another. Comrade goes into the shed where they sell Ladas, greasy bundle of roubles in his hand. Shows permit, housing certificate etc, and reluctantly the vendor gives him an hour, day and date ten years ahead when his Lada will be ready. Comradski smiles, then thinks and frowns. "What's the problem, tovarisch ?" asks the vendor. "Can't pick it up then" says the buyer, "we've got the plumber coming that day to fix the leaking kitchen sink..."

Re: Friday Jokes
Once, sitting in the Mess having coffee as you do, I noticed the Khazakstan officer in the next chair was browsing Exchange and Mart. He was looking for Lada spares to ship home.
Re: Friday Jokes
Not a joke,but years ago a bloke would advertise in the Wirral Bugle looking to buy Lada's whatever the condition.My Missus at the time had one so he gave us £25 and drove it away.He took them all to the docks at Ellesmere Port and had them loaded on to ships that were delivering wood and potash from Russia.He must have made a fortune.Pontius Navigator wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:33 pmOnce, sitting in the Mess having coffee as you do, I noticed the Khazakstan officer in the next chair was browsing Exchange and Mart.

Re: Friday Jokes
I sent a demo CD to a record label, I got a reply saying, We listened to your songs, we think they're all hits...
Found out after showing the email to my Brother, I'm dyslexic.

Re: Friday Jokes
Don't forget there were varieties of Ladas. The Fiat 124 clone built at Toglietti (sp ?) of better quality steel than the Italians used (would have been hard to find worse) wasn't bad. I always thought the 4x4 looked cute.
Re: Friday Jokes
I found out that Muslims and Jews can't buy Ladas. Turns out that you have to be a complete prick to buy one.
I went to get a battery once for a Lada that wouldn't start. Said 'can I have a battery for my Lada'. Garage guys says 'throw in an extra £50 and I'll take the Lada'.

If it's going to end up digital, can it not be transcribed at any speed and slowed down digitally?

I am thinking of putting this up in the kitchen. If you don't see any more postings from me, you'll know I did.

Re: Friday Jokes
Turntable speed, unless it's direct drive, can be banjaxed by the belt. Deteriorating elasticity, any joins in the belt, surface condition can all cause variations in RPM.

I expect so, I'll do some searching.
Not this weekend as I have life in the way.

Re: Friday Jokes
How did they get hold of my targets? Reminds me of a particularly nasty debrief on a Hunter strafing practice of mine when the weapons instructor suggested it would be safer for the range rabbits to nest around the target than anywhere else........

Re: Friday Jokes
There is a story somewhere of USAF armourers from an F-86 Sqdn, laughing at the RAF armourers for all of the trouble they went to to tie down a Hunter before ground testing on a firing range.
They changed their opinion when they witnessed the different effect of 4 x 30mm Aden's from their 6 x .50 cal Browning's.

Re: Friday Jokes
Ian16th, Ion make a turntable which dumps your 33rpm vinyl through USB at 45rpm, but slows it digitally to the expected 33. There are presumably other manufacturers doing the same.

Re: Friday Jokes
Would you believe it I have a USB turntable?
I've never used it; I bought it at an auction 'cos it was so cheep!
One of these days I will unpack my records from the boxes in my garage.
We've been moved here 6 years come June.
