    Sun came out so we went for a walk and guess what, it started to pour down. Had just hung washing out too :mad: Dry again now.
    Was wondering where FF had got to and then realised it was Thursday.

    Really annoyed that I have just found out there is a proper plaque at Widnes railway Station saying this is where Paul Simon wrote "Homeward Bound" DH took me there and told me that Paul Simon wrote it there and I looked down at the station but we didn't go down into it. I am a fan of both him and Art Garfunkel. DH didn't know about the plaque.

    Wish the storm would clear up then FF. My washing is soaked.

    When I worked in an Electrical shop we sold styluses. From Needles, basic ST10's 316N6Tw9-pL._SX38_SY50_CR,0,0,38,50_.jpg to high end record styli and cartridges (Bang + O etc.)

    It was fun matching up originals and compatibles to a vast range of needles etc.

    It's an ancient Sony stack system ...... had it years.

    Deck on top (just noticed the last record I played which is still on turntable: Meaty, Beaty Big and Bouncy - The Who :D

    Radio underneath (still works)

    Cassette player under that ........ tad redundant :p:rotfl::rotfl:

    Then cd player at bottom (bit dodgy!) :p

    I have everything now on cd's and have cd/dvd player linked to tv, but still love the vinyls :p Will have to take a note of model no etc and ring up local sony centre, see if they can help?

    My dad had one of those for years and nothing wrong with it when he updated either Alfie. Must admit I am a Sony fan too.

    I like Sony. I love my record player, I've had it for years. Never had to replace the stylus yet fortunately, it's a diamond stylus
