      @@HumbleBearcatI suppose you could put some real woofers in there, but it would absolutely destroy the wonderfully tight and controlled bass of these speakers. The A120 / HD10 speakers are basically Boston Acoustic's version of Polk's widely-loved Monitor 7 speakers. Both models have a 10" passive radiator. I have two videos on my channel doing an A/B comparison of these two speakers and the Boston Acoustics A120's more than hold their own against the Polk Monitor 7's. There is plenty of bass; these things go all the way down to 40Hz.

    • @demotoob3828
      @demotoob3828 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes I still own these speakers and listen to them regularly. Strengths: Acoustic Suspension, Laid-back East-Coast sound with a beautiful sweet-sounding tweeter, Very forgiving of placement so they sound good almost anywhere you put them - which is great if you listen while moving around the room. Also, they sound great at low volume as do all BA speakers. Weaknesses: Some people dislike the tweeter and think it is a bit too lively/fatiguing. I find them to be excellent all-around speakers for all genres of music, but people generally recommend East-Coast speakers for jazz and classical, and West-Coast speakers for rock and pop music.

    RE: the clear ring vs. the black ring: the black ring may be Neoprene, the clear ring may be urethane. Urethane lasts a few years and then rots just like the old black rubber one you removed. Neoprene would be the best material for the purpose: it does not rot but only eventually hardens somewhat over many years.

One of cables from battery compartment the whole connector for the rechargeable battery (crank charged) were broken. One for regular battery can be soldered back. The other cables I can't see where they connect to the motherboard. It would require removing motherboard, too. We'll see. At minimum it should work w DC in and battery, maybe not rechargeable battery.

      Shop around locally on Facebook Marketplace, Offerup, shopgoodwill, craigslist etc. for a cheap "Non-Working or for Parts" Dual turntable, especially the budget models like the 1257 and the later cheap gray plastic versions. Half the time (in my case) they will include the multi-play spindle. You can then fix the parts unit and resell it or simply resell it as a parts unit without the spindle. There's a $30 non-working model 1257 in Burleson TX right now (local pick up only though) on Facebook Marketplace that includes a multi-play spindle.

    Do you prefer these to the 150s?

      I like the a150's deeper bass response as I usually listen while moving about the house, but the skinnier baffle of the t830's images better if you like to listen from a fixed position.

    What a fine video! Thank you! Your pictures are clear, your explanations are clear, your solution will make it possible for people to fix a machines that would otherwise go into the trash.

    Nicely done! You've found a workable way to replace that gear in about half the steps shown in the service manual which also says to remove all the nose end connections and width levers and move the horizontal arm shaft out of the nose enough to pull up & out the gear/shaft. It's still tight quarters to access the gear compared to the model 457, but very doable as you have shown. There are about a half dozen Singer models that require the top arm shaft to be removed, and I think this could work on a few of them. That plastic gear on the 353/354 is the only weak spot on an otherwise strong & versatile machine, IMO. BTW, the Vintage machines with the dual timing marks use the top mark when setting the height of the needle bar and the bottom mark for setting the needlepoint to hook point timing. We remember upper height and lower hook to get it correct. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this and know how time-consuming it is to find a workaround let alone document it. I'd like to put a link to this on my channel in the 353 Playlist because I still get inquiries several times per year about the hook not rotating on the Genie/Starlet models and at least I could offer your show here as an alternative to many hours long arm shaft removal method. I enjoyed your use of the parts diagrams and good pictures, too. Thank you.

      Thanks for the kind words Andy! I would be honored to be included in your Singer Genie 353 playlist. Sorry for the meager production values and I think I should have probably drank a few cups of coffee before hitting the record button because I had a problem finding words. If you have a list of machines that this fix might work on, please send it to me because maybe I could list them in the video description here for people who want to attempt it. I wish someone would make steel replacement gears for all of the Singer machines that had plastic gears. It's a shame that this Genie model also has such an Achilles heel because the rest of the gears and pulleys seem to be made of metal.

      @@demotoob3828 Thanks for that. I'll make a slide and put a link. No worries about your video. You should see some of my early stuff or the videos I made at 2Am when my insomnia was acting up, haha.

    Amazing sound quality. How does it compare to the a200?

    • @demotoob3828
      @demotoob3828 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never heard the a200 but I do know that it is a rather large speaker so I'm fairly certain that it would sound better than the a120
