I used to listen to Bob on ‘NBC in ‘88 and he was incredible!

Hemerroids/vasectomy.....why not both.

Mine has a low quality sound, it sounds not very good. If you can, buy another one, this is not it.

Transmusic Airwaves on Podomatic has some Fresh Air archives posted there. Paul Ciminero started the podcasts and Jeff Wootton and others have kept it going.

Belgrade Gardens, Hopocan Gardens, Village Inn (formerly Millich’s), White House in that order

How much did you pay for tps-l2?

December 24th 2024

Tvland should’ve done an extensive two hour documentary on this show back in the 2000s including an exclusive airing of the first episode. A channel like Tvland was the perfect platform and resources to get the rights and show the episode for historical and educational purposes

Imagine this hallucination coming across your tv screen in 1969 without the ability to pause or rewind to digest what the hell is going on 😂

would love to see the show with the Beatles Tribute band on, bet it was Revolver echo of a Dream. They were one of the First HISTORIC PERFORMANCE Beatles shows.

can i use it vertically like the sony flamingo ?

I would love to hear Mr D explsin from out of his mouth what happened to Rax

The phono preamp on this unit is actually the worst part of the amp, if you want to improve the sound quality buy a dedicated phono preamp

cool player! I just got one one ebay and was looking for more info before I opened it up. volume is oxidized but all other features working. the service manual is floating around out there as a pdf download too

Had a walkman, must have weighed about a LB. 😊

I had one. It was around $600. at the time. It was mono, and wasn’t the best feature-wise, but I loved it.

i was thinking it could have been made by Sharp

Get a subwoofer since you like base

I love that there's lore for Mr. Delicious.

Thank you, i was salivating over the301. Most greatful. I had not considered the rumble issue. So when they went stereo, rumble crept up. Thank you most appreciated. Also, european voltage heads up, most appreciated. You saved me 18oo dollars . Cant thank you enough!

does this model have the DC-DC convertor in the display circuit that always crapped out?

Hi I'm still watching this historic event in 2016 NBA Championship and gives me always a goosebumps watching September 27,2024❤❤❤❤

The phono stage is a bit poor, but the rest is spot on.

The episodes didn't "escape". George Schlatter released them. 55 years have passed. ABC has changed owners twice in that time. Pretty sure the network wouldn't care at this point.

Interesting you should mention the BBC using these. I worked in a local radio studio in Malta in 1970 where we had a pair of these equipped with the 12" version of the original SME arm so we could play the 16" transcription discs you mentioned.....these were shows first aired by the BBC in the UK and then sent out to the far-flung parts of the 'Empire' (didn't know they went to USA though!). When I came back to the UK, I discovered a friend who had worked in Malta with me lived in the same road in a smalll West Country town (small world!) and he had brought back one of the 401s after the studio had closed. He didn't use it much, so I offered to buy it from him...£10, I think I paid him. He had fitted a Sansui arm, if I remember correctly which I replaced with an SME 3009 II Improved with detatchable headshell into which I fitted a Shure V 15. I still have the arm (fitted now with the new Goldring E4), but the 401 went in favour of a Linn Sondek.......I now have a modest Thorens TD 160 B. I'm surprised the 401 is so favoured today - I could never supress the rumble......and the speed adjustment was usefull if you wanted to play the record at the wrong speed, but not much else!

It all went down hill after Mr. D started talking about his vasectomy in the ads.

WKSU's Fresh Air programming was phenomenal . I was in "Verder Hall" '79 - '81 (art dorm) and it was extremely popular, especially as sustenance for all-nighters. I turned my roommate onto it and she promptly signed up to DJ - Liz Bernstein . Brian (last name ?) was a d.j. for Fresh Air and he got her in the door. . That time period was amazing for music with WKSU/ Fresh Air's very progressive programming -- along with the local bar bands, gymnasium concerts and the Cleveland scene. I am eternally grateful for all the amazing music I was exposed to during my years at Kent . It really introduced a level of sophistication and diversity I lacked before attending KSU .

To be honest, "You can eat here." isn't the most compelling argument for a would be customer.

Brad neely comics can be a great source of ressuraxtion

Rax was the dream of mine in 1989. It never set foot in my home town of Lake Wales Florida.

I was sextatic see something new in town. Rax still has business opportunity in Lake wales florida where not much new is introduced since the Walmart super center. What a raxtacilous comerax

I like to think he got the vasectomy "just in case" and not because he--y'know--not because he *had somebody* but like because it's a hip cool thing and maybe one day he can use it.

Mr D is the conflict between being relatable (about how depressing fast food is) and trying to sell (fast food), a cautionary tale about marketing through relatability, because the two are in conflict on the best of days, that's why pyramid schemes are illegal. I remember a few months back when I first learned of Mr D, I got irrationally angry, little did I know I was only angry at my inner Mr D

Rax and Arby: The Sanctom of Spiky Shoulder Pads!

I was a student at West Virginia University in Morgantown from 1977 to 1981, and for a couple of years I shared a sixth-floor apartment with some other guys. The apartment faced west, and if the weather was clear we could usually hear "Fresh Air" on the stereo pretty well. The show really broadened my musical tastes, and I frequently purchased LPs at a local record store just because I had heard the artists on "Fresh Air." Albums by Tangerine Dream and Joy Division are good examples. WVU didn't get its own student-run radio station until 1982, but fortunately it has a very progressive format ... though not quite as trippy as "Fresh Air."

we had that VCR, that was our very first VCR. we got that when we got the 25 inch RCA TV

CLEVELANDDDD, THIS IS FOR YOUUUUUU!!

WNEW-TV New York had the first 10 Oclock newscast on eastern time. That would be mid-1967.

I used to watch channel 61 all the time, I sure miss those days!

how cost this box??

That mascot is hilarious dude no way that shit killed them

I don't remember Mr. D, but these ads are hilarious. The target audience wouldn't get them, though.

I've repaired a couple of these in the past. Not too bad to change the belts on, its the circuits that are starting to get screwy.

I wonder if the salad bar was a money loser because the powers that be tried to make it have too much variety; therefore a lot of items would not be consumed enough and would have to be thrown out. When I and my friends would go to Rax in the early 80's (Marietta, Ohio), they had a salad bar but it had core items like eggs, cheddar cheese, olives, onions, etc. if I recall correctly. I think it had the right type and number of things. It also makes sense that they had trouble competing with the big salad bars of some of the buffet outfits.

The one tag line I haven't heard from any of these Tax interviews and retrospectives: Rax, you said a bunfull.

Rax seemed like a great restaurant for blue class people. I wonder why it failed. Just drop the salad bar.

Any information regarding the Panasonic PV-1540 VCR? (1985).

1:08 IS THAT LILY TOMLIN?

During the early years of my childhood. Many of the older buildings and businesses had already closed up shop, but some still hung around for a while longer. The swinging BJ was replaced by a digital video board sometime around 2003 or 2004. Downtown Akron looks totally different with the additions of Canal Park and the Akron Rubberducks in 1997 and Lock 3 shortly thereafter.
