General Discussion Area / Thorens TD 320 MK III

« on: 26 February 2018, 17:44:22 »

Found a very nice classic turntable. A Thorens TD 320 MK III. 30 years old.

Not unusual....

BUT THE TABLE IS BRAND NEW IN HIS ORIGINAL BOX. NEVER USED!















The price was unbelievable low. The TD 320 comes with a Stanton epoch II cartridge, factory assembling...

I am happy....

General Discussion Area / Dinner forOne

« on: 31 December 2017, 17:07:06 »

Hi out there!

Here in good old Germany, we have a strict tradition. Sylvester is when "Dinner for One" is on the TV. It is the most ever repeated sketch ever on German TV. I know it since I was a child. In the 70s it runs only on the third line programs, but it became cult.

Today no TV station can do the Sylvester program without "Dinner for One". Does anyone knows it in UK?

I think it is a UK production of the late 60s. German NDR (Northern Germany Broadcast) did only some explanations because of the language...

Merry Christmas everyone!

I have got my greatest gift two days ago. My wife is home again. Of course my true old Omega Caravan did the job.

Let`s start 2018!

General Discussion Area / Nightmare week

« on: 27 October 2017, 18:08:11 »

Last Monday I found my wife nearly dead when I returned from work late in the evening. A few seconds I was in panic, but I switched over in the rescue mode, alarm call, heart massage. The boys came within 5 minutes, carrying a mobile intensive station.

They did great work, many many "Dankeschoen". Alarm driving is not easy, I was on board, thanx to the driver.

I stayed by my wife the hole night in hospital. She comes back.

General Discussion Area / Will Hurricane Orphelia hit Ireland?

« on: 13 October 2017, 16:50:19 »

I observed weather over many many years. But something like that I never saw before on the GFS (Global Forecast System)

The tropical storm Orphelia is far southwest of the Azores in the moment. Latest forecast shows that Orphelia will strength to a category 2 hurricane with northeast routing.

The GFS model is counting that Orphelia will reach northwest Ireland Monday afternoon

We have had strong southwest winds today. 6-8 BFT, peek 9 BFT up in the Black forest 12 BFT.

General Discussion Area / Got back an old turntable

« on: 12 July 2017, 22:14:22 »

Last week I got back an old turntable. Nothing normal, very special. I did the construction 15 years ago and I produced 53 units, mainly sold in Far East. Japan, South Korea.

I am very glad to have one back. It is one of two painted in Porsche Seal Grey. All others are painted blue. So the turntable was called "Baby Blue". Tonearm is a Clearaudio unify, no cartridge. But I have some van den Huls...

Condition is very poor. Needs restoration. But Baby Blue is home again.



Picture shows another special version.  Tonearm SME V. Cartridge van den Hul Gold Frog. Platter brass made (9kg) gold plated. Painted in Lapislazuli Blue. High End Power supply. Only one build. Actual owner is a collector in Frankfurt.
