    My first stereo, Monterey, Calif. 1972, can't even remember the brand of receiver, but hey, nice rack.

    It appears to be a Kenwood to me.
    (EDIT: although I don't recognize the precise model)
    Here are some similar ones from www.alliedcatalog.com (1971)

    028.jpg

    The tt looks like (???) a Miracord -- also sold as "Benjamin Miracord" in the US and also under the Radio Shack/Realistic brand.

    @mhardy, you are right, it was a Kenwood. I bought it used from West Coast Audio or Stereo, something like that. Probably got the TT there as well.

    Shure cartridge but don't remember the model. Got the V15 when it became available but pretty sure it wasn't out till a little later.

    If you look beside the Chicago album you can see the little cleaner brush I used for the vinyl. Discwasher or something like that I think. There was a little t@mpon type thing that you put cleaning fluid on and inserted it inside the roller brush.

    This beats the hell out of your current car... >:)

    One of the few regrets in my life was selling that car. If I owned it now, it would be worth more than my new car. But alas, it is what it is. I will suffer through with what I have.

    our 32nd (anniversary, that is) was this past Thursday -- we got married in B-more on a Preakness Saturday (1983); consequently we had a little trouble booking a limo for the wedding...

    Congrats to all you long time married couples. It seems to be the exception these days. We have become a throw away society and way to often people drop and run, instead of staying and putting in the effort to make a marriage work. Marriages don't just happen, you get out of it, what you put into it.

    20 years for me, this time. The first one left me for a doctor with millions, but I got the better end of that deal. I'm married now to my best friend who totally embraces my audio hobby --> passion --> obsession --> lunacy.

    I thought it was the "magic bullet". Thanks for clearing that up.

    This hawk cruises the backyard fence line that borders onto the open space preserve behind my house.

    Beautiful plumage....

    Looks like a Coopers Hawk (looks larger than a Sharp-Tailed Hawk)

    Yeah - I've got a birders book and I just can't quite tell if what I posted was a Coopers or Sharp-Skinned(that is the name in the book I have).

    actually we're both wrong :-P although yours is just a typo, I'm guessing -- the small one is a sharp-shinned hawk! I was running from one thing to another and... I have no idea why I typed "sharp tailed"... d'oh.

    The birders call 'em 'Sharpies". The males are quite small for a raptor; roughly grackle-sized, or even a bit smaller.

    Here's a sharpie from our old backyard in MA years ago (2004, according to the file name)...

    (photo taken with a point 'n' shoot digital through the eyepiece of a spotting scope)

    EDIT: FWIW, I think yours is a Coopers'.
    I can check with Mrs. H if'n you like.

    ;-)

    Yup - didn't have my reading glasses on - sharp-shinned.

    Yes please - I've gotten different opinions when I show pics of the hawk.

    So if you have an expert handy to give a definitive ruling - I will go with that!

    Mrs H's take on the hawk photos from the previous page. I downloaded the two photos, e-mailed 'em to my wife (sitting 10 feet from me in the living room) and she e-mailed me this response (see below). Egads, I love technology! ;- )
    I would say Cooper's also. Not sure of the spacing between the "supports" of the railing, but if 4 inches then bird is at least 12" long. Cap looks dark compared to back, eye large and legs look "sturdy" - thick. All points to Cooper's. Second picture make it look like tail could be rounded, also a Cooper's trademark.

    Cooper's hawk it is - done and done.

    Please thank the resident expert!
