As I learned recently, those aren't exactly shims under the guides, they're teflon thurst washers which keep the metal guides and posts from rubbing on each other and wearing over time. Keep track of them, they're nearly impossible to replace.

What are the transformers like?

Ultravox The Collection was released as a 2 record set with a 2nd vinyl of 12" mixes 2 of which were unavailable on any other release. Super video Matthew as all these about 1984 are. Arena is my favourite Duran album especially the song The Chauffeur.

Nice!

Van halen 1984?

Great work Matthew! Been enjoying this series and I'm looking forward to more.

I had no idea there was an alternative lyric to 'Solid' (and I thought I knew all the naughty playground songs!). Maybe it was only in the South West. 😀

Can't believe there's only one to go! Thank you for sticking at it for a whole year and making it better and better each time!

I just ordered this mic for recording el. guitar, wanted to browse the web and see if anyone used it for acoustic guitar as well.

Love the t-shirt, brother. Bought the Swing today because it's such a practical size and it has aftertouch. Edit: you have a Korg Poly 800! 😍

This was going on literally 40 years since this video was put out!

i just got a 1976 Tandy Radio Shack 150 in 1 off of Facebook and planning to sample it

Thanks for posting! Love mine...glad I didn't ditch it for a Marshall DSL. The video helped. I would point out that Shure 57s have a presence peak...

WHY oh WHY nobody talks about aftertouch? I want to know if it's usuable in anyway or just on and off

As per the record stock in bookshops, maybe it's a Christmas marketing strategy for gifts , hoping book buyers will be impulsive and buy a record or two as gifts? All very odd all the same. Seems they are pretty late in the game to be selling records.

I'm really nervous about buying one (well, two) of these. I've seen some wild things on the web about it. Bent keybeds, dead keys, and some keys being far more or less sensitive than others. Even claims it just dies after a few months. I've seen plenty of good things about it too, and some problems that are resolved with a firmware update, but. . . I dunno, I still feel uneasy about it.

Errr... I hope you're kidding about Bad Boys From Boston. Might wanna take another look at that T-Shirt.

Not only are new LP's expensive, i find the quality of the pressings is very hit & miss, i've had new factory sealed records that sound terrible with horrendous surface noise & i've also received sealed records which turned out to be scratched from the manufacturer there doesn't seem to be any quality control, I wanted to get that new Cure album but reading the reviews people are not happy with the pressings & apparently the cd is another victim of the loudness wars being over compressed etc etc....

For years people have been buying t shirts by the likes of the Ramones, and Nirvana, who they have never heard in their lives.

You are right Matt! Paying £30+ is a little too expensive for me to be buying vinyl. I also would be sceptical of buying reissued records from the likes of the Beatles etc… As these would be digital remastered versions simply printed onto vinyl, rather than having the older original analogue pressings.

The Bad Boys from Boston are Aerosmith. It says on the front of the t.shirt

Very good Matt. Yes I acquired many records / tapes from WHSmith in the 80’s. Fond memories of getting Harold Faltermeyer “Axel F” {London Mix} 12” and Paul Hardcastle “Rainforest” 12” and countless 7” vinyl. I remember one summer school holiday going to my Italian grandmothers house in Taffs Well and us getting the train to Cardiff and i descended on WHSmith there and purchased Howard Jones “Dream Into Action” on cassette 🎹😎

It's good news about Waterstones now selling LPS, books, and records go hand in hand to a middle-aged demographic like myself . I still have WHS price stickers on some of my records along with John menzies and Boots' Sound and Vision Department. In the 1970s and 80s, records were available almost anywhere 😊.

I'm not sure that vinyl prices are much higher than in the past when we take inflation into account. Is there good evidence? Regarding Beatles LPs, there has long been a policy of their releases on all formats being the most expensive by far - not sure how that worked in the marketplace. Remember the first reissue of their albums on CD in the 1980s when it was easily possible to fit two on one CD but they didn't? Pink Floyd, too, has always been much more expensive.

Barely started watching and I have "hole in my shoe" going around my head

What's the breakdown on a 30 quid LP? I know WH SMITH gets a huge percentage of the selling cost of books and mags, so I wonder how it applies to them and other stores with records? I watched a record shop guy saying they make about 2 dollars on a brand new $30 vinylLP and they have to buy in at that $28 price. They make more from buying up collections from widows and selling on at profit.

I paid £18 for new vinyl copy of Dark Side of the Moon recently. Sounds wonderful and has the posters, postcard etc. Good value. Why other old albums from the likes of the Beatles are so expensive, goodness knows.

Good video….I’m very selective now as vinyl is getting that I cannot justify buying such inflated priced records. I’ve certainly stopped purchasing on a whim, shame really because I loved taking a punt, not anymore.

I bought a mono Sgt Peppers LP by the Beatles in 1967 when I was 13. It cost 24 shillings old money ( £1.12 in decimal currency). I had to save up my pocket money and I did garden tidying for a few local old people on Saturdays back then and I saved that money as well towards it. In todays money that is just over £24.00. Singles were around 6 shillings ( 30 pence ). In todays money that's just over £7.00. Record prices today are very close to what they were in 1967 adjusted for inflation.

It’s interesting that the likes of WHSmiths and Waterstones are starting to stock records now. Jumping on the vinyl bandwagon a bit late but you can’t blame them if they have an empty space at the back of their shop. The thing is, and similar to the supermarkets doing this, I find that the limited selection of vinyl on offer isn’t enough to attract me to shop there. I can imagine it being bog standard radio friendly record stock such as Beatles, Michael Jackson, Oasis albums etc. I’m not going to find the latest record by Autechre at WHSmiths!

"Bad Boys from Boston" are Aerosmith, you should have known that. I even zoomed in on your Eyes and Mouth, to see if there was a hint of sarcasm or irony, but there was none. 😀😀😀😀😀

Good video and Interesting that Primark sells these T-shirts I saw some in Exeter back along. Top Man used to when they were around. Bad boys from Boston is Aerosmith, just a nickname for them.

Good grief..buying second hand CDs or albums is one thing. Collecting sweaty second used garments - under or over is just a bit tragic. Didn't a once top ten Welsh Elvis tribute type singer once have a policy of clamping down on sales of his 'previously owned' CDs on eBay ?

Great video. No doubt. 👍But I always recommend to find an instrument which already HAS a built-in headphone output and a connector for an external power supply. The second-hand market is FULL of great stuff from the 80's and 90's which can be bought for around 50 EUR (and sometimes even with MIDI).

Relics, I hate them on every level. The whole premise is deceptive and most look shit anyway. You're a brave man using a coping saw, I would've gone for a jigsaw, if you own one. I just buy them completed for the money it's a given. Did you watch any instruction videos at all beforehand? Scarred Guitar with Sean or Sam Deeks is a good place to start.

I have a similar issue with a Vox Cambridge 30. What do you think I could do to correct it?

Had mine since the 90’s. It’s up in a loft now but I recall it always doing that thud switching channels from new. Doesn’t mean it should of course, maybe mine is a bit dodge from the start.

I have one of these amps unused for 20yrs. Has enormously loud amount of crackle and feedback when touching controls. Presumably it will work better with a good clean of sockets and pods?

Bought mine new about 2007 and used it for quite a few pub gigs. Speaker is stock but I may try a Celestion Greenback I have in another of my amps.

Mine did that. And that's what I did. I just used a short pedal cable. It's a crack in the circuit board . There notorious for it

0:16 wasnt it called macros? When the blackberry got hacked?

Alot has changed since past few years, as they know i had to go through everything

Valvestate with no valve in preamp? It's not 100% solid state.

WHA…?!? CAMBRIDGE? I have a few of these kits from Tandy (in this here New World we had a store called Radio Schack where these were sold). The name Forrest M. Mims iii always comes to mind, as he wrote and drew up most of the schematics that are illustrated, and he then again published them in collectible books titled the ‘Engineers Mini-Notebook’ series. Indeed, Forrest M. Mims III has achieved a cult following in the electronics hardware hacking or modding community. His Stepped Tone Generator has achieved global fame by its other more well known name, the Atari Punk Console. Mr. Mims III is no doubt responsible for making many Electrical Engineers from whom otherwise would have had quite possibly no foreseeable future. THANKS for sharing about this, especially the Cambridge kit! I guess maybe it was purpose packaged for sale at the Cambridge bookstore to sell as a souvenir for the younger sibling of the students? I wonder if Oxford ever made one?

Can these do reverb and Vibrato at the same time?

The TH-cam channel video's SEO rating is poor of Due to this your subscribers and views are not increasing, and the titles, descriptions, and keywords SEO should be done correctly only then you will get good results. the same problem in Video every.

Every single video on your channel is amazing. But your video views are lower. Because your optimization is very poor. Your optimization needs to improve as soon as possible.

I got one of thesse for Christmas when i was younger, mine have lower quality keyboard but bigger and lack of lcd screen (actually would be helpful) thesse presets are really interesting i like Emulator or Fairlight like sounding, imagine if you could put your own samples into this i wonder if possible to modify it this way.

The thing that puzzles me is the collector who is say in his fifties or sixties , who has amassed a vast collection of thousands of reoords/ cds whatever, yet has neither the time nor life span to play them all!
