  1. My grandmother would cook eggs and sometimes make fried potatoes in schmaltz. It was gastronomic heaven.
  2. Let's not forget rendered chicken fat. Otherwise known as schmaltz. Roast chicken flavored goodess.
  3. Totally forget that I have this shirt.
  4. Just in case anyone would like a copy.
  5. Glad you had fun "Putting on the Riiiiitz!!!" 🤪
  6. Or perhaps Leaded and Unleaded
  7. They need one that says "assault and battery"
  8. Oh what fun!!! Root Canal today! Fun for one and all!!!
  9. New replacement CD Player is hooked up and works perfectly. Not very impressed with Onkyo's "Tech" department. Literally told me when I had called about the original unit "there is nothing in the manual about the player being locked". This is tech support? A moron reading from a manual? Really!? I told him that at least everything matches up with their company. Tech support is just as useless as the product.
  10. Good news. The new replacement CD Player has been shipped and should be here tomorrow.
  11. My folks are two of them. 🤣
  12. I totally understand. I was only using the DVD player as a transport . I was running digital coax into a Schiit Mani as an external DAC. The Jolida is a little more than I want to spend right now. I'm sure that it's stunning. I'm considering something in that price range for Christmas. 😏
  13. Turns out the "refurbished" player was a lemon. Locked up and wouldn't eject my Burning for Buddy 2 CD. After complete disassembly I am happy to say my CD was retrieved with no damage. The seller after some high volume telephone conversation agreed to replace the unit with a brand new one at no extra cost. I explained that I obviously know the inner workings of a CD player and that sending me a unit that is not factory new would be ill advised.
  14. Found a deal too good to pass up. Semi-upgrading the CD Player. Was able to grab a refurbished like new Onkyo C-7030 for $180.00. Actually it is a giant upgrade from the crap Sony DVD player I have been using. I guess I'll compare the Wolfson chip with the Schiit external that I have when it arrives.
  15. Unfortunately they sure are. Thanks for the advice. I tried that tack. Unfortunately our local store doesn't deal in 78's. Maybe when I get some extra time at work I'll try some shops around Manhattan if I can find any.
  16. Thanks ever so much. I just ordered the MP3 CD. Your suggestion really helped me out. As mentioned, if you happen across the the actual Shellac 78's please let me know. I know that it's a real shot in the dark but I'll do anything for Mom.
  17. I already did. It's on the way. Always have a backup plan. Lol
  18. Anyway please, if anyone spots this record set or has a line on where I can purchase it let me know. Thanks either way.
  19. Too bad, I would have grabbed one from you. Lol
  20. She was a school teacher so I might grab a vintage 1970's classroom record player for her.
  21. As she is coming up next month I am hoping to give it to her with possibility a vintage record player.
  22. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I'm really hoping to get the actual records. It would be such a great gift for Mom.
