C6 - The adventure continues........in blue

[Trainman]

when I fire her up this morning, there was one hell of a rattling sound I have a feeling that the LDS level is low, so I need to check that in the morning with the Lexia.

Would this cause a rattling? Does it get worse with the car in high?

Chris, It's fine when I have it in normal and give it about 2 minutes and then nothing, It's back to normal, I think that the level of LDS is falling back somehow, I need a day off to invstigate it.

AH Dean, Dean, (shakes head and tut's)

I NEVER do base, always Exclusive

I have on the odd occasion been known to fiddle with the BASS however.......

8-Track. Ohh, that brings back memories.

I used to spend Saturday mornings untangling and re-threading 8-Track cartridges when I was a lad working in our local TV and Radio shop...

The resident TV service engineer had a Radiomobile quadraphonic 8-Track (4-Track?) in his Fraud Zeypher and on which he introduced me to the heady delights of Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and Focus amongst others

In his TV Service van (a Fraud Escort) he had the latest and greatest of the time. The very first auto-reverse car cassette player made by Pye

8-Track cartridges were pretty cool and neat in those days.

I was watching a rerun of some Yank show the other and they found an in-car record player........

do you remember them as well Jim

do you remember them as well Jim

If it was a 78 I think he would

[myglaren]

I do
Never heard one though. Can't imagine them being much good and IIRC they only played 45s.

Yes, I do funnily enough, I remember my sister (who was some 10 years my elder) had a flashy Greek boyfriend at the time who had some flash car, A Poxhall Cresta I think, and that had a record player in it. As far as I recall it played 7" 45rpm singles and you popped them in a slot much like a CD today.. That would have been about 1968 as far as I can recall.

Sadly, that was before I was into such things in a technical sense and I've never seen one since or had any opportunity to pull one to bits and see how they worked.

I fancy I was pretty impressed with it. Certainly more impressed than I was with the the car or the boyfriend

Oi! I'm not that old

But yes, I remember 78s well. I had a couple of wind-up gramophones as a kid...

[Xantianut]

Ay up!

Record players were on the option list for Lincolns. Cadillacs and, I believe, some Mercury cars in the late '50s and were certainly specified by Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.

Never heard of 'em this side though. Interesting. I do hope that Cresta was a PA!

If memory serves, they had a powerful spring or weight to keep the needle in the groove, which normally resulted in premature record failures as it gouged it's way through them!
