That's going to be a nice addition. You'll have to post a picture when you get them installed.
Will do, Fred!
I'm really looking forward to them, as it will be the first time in....a long time, I guess....that all of my records (LPs, 78's, and 45's) will be in the same spot.
And having the TV mounted on the wall again (opposite wall), instead of sitting on some "brick and board architecture", will be really nice!
Only took us 2-1/2 years to finish this part of the move-in!

Two was enough for me, one on his own, one still here. Don’t think for long though pretty sure he’s got himself a girlfriend. Hasn’t brought her home to meet the parents yet, but all the signs are pointing in that direction. Whoo Hoo.8?...you were a wolf in the hen house for cryin out loud!...I have three and that's all can handle!

So I guess you guys know what this is both my boys and their friends were stumped
So you can play a 45 record on the record player
You need a few? I must have a couple dozen or more lying around....
My dad made one out of a dowel and it was always in the player so you didnt have to look for one it didn’t work as well but I wasn’t going to tell him that

Grandpa made me one out of cardboard so I could play them on his record player. Dad had 'em at home.

Ya those mystery boxes have a few from when we moved across the yard into the new house from the mobile 15 years ago, have a few more from when Mom moved into the nursering home and we cleaned out her house. Should have labeled them, but where’s the fun in that. Like years ago when my friend got married we got in their house and took all the labels off the canned goods surprise what’s for dinner
After I responded initially I got thinking about where all of mine are at, and given that I have some in "this box", and some in "that box", and some more in "that box over there"....
Sure is gonna be nice to have everything in one place again!
I managed to (finally!) get my hands on my grandparent's 78 RPM console record player from my aunt this past summer. It needs some TLC (two of the legs are split), and the mechanism doesn't work (my grandfather removed it when I was about 5 or so due to a broken spring), but it's all there, and the woodwork is absolutely gorgeous! Haven't done a thing with it, but if I can restore it I will.
And if not, I'll save the cabinet and put a modern TT inside of it.

Yup, we got a box of 30 cans with no labels. I'll have to remember to do that to the next young 'un that gets married.

Died a year before I was born, guess I picked up the torch and am still carrying it.
Hi guys.
I used to have 78's but when I moved out of mom and dad's they must have thrown them out.
I still have all my 45's, 33's 8-tracks, cassettes and CD's. Once in a while I get them out and play them.
Brings back a lot of great memories.
Cold and wet and just plan miserable today and will be right into next week. Might get some snow according to the weather liar.
They have had some snow up North but northing like what the prairies are getting.
Have a great evening

Just finished snowing here got about an inch. It’s wet snow and freezing temperatures so it’s going to pack making the highways into skating rinks. Glad I don’t have a commute to work anymore.
