fwphoto Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 WOW, that's beautiful! Did you do the plinth? What wood? What model is it? Kinda looks like my TD 160 but with a different arm. Frank W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollar bill Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Very nice. Rega arm? The Platter clamp looks very Canadian[], hopefully you went with the lighter version of have adjusted your suspension accordingly, but I get the idea you know what you are doing.

LarryC Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Any chance of reducing the file size of those great photos from 1.75 to 1.9 MB each to more like, say, 160 kb each? May fill up the server less quickly, I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivernuggets Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 For resizing pictures in Windows XP, go here ---> Link Scroll down while looking for this on the right hand side of the screen: ImageResizer.exe. It's a very small download. After installing, right-click a picture and choose to resize from the pull down menu. You can also resize a bunch of pictures when many are highlighted. If you use a Mac or something newer than XP, you're on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gartenman Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thank you , you are a true gentleman! Unfortunately I have Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 This has worked for me, although it takes a few clicks for each resized picture. It's freeware called GIMP, and it can supposedly do all the things Photoshop can. It just has a different interface which takes a bit to get used to. Link. Says it works with Vista. OK, I'm done.

fini Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Dude, you will not find a more gentlemanly forum member than LarryC. He wasn't "raining on your parade," but repectfully asking you to make the pictures smaller. They take too long to load for some members. I missed the pics, but would like to see them...smaller.

Rivernuggets Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think his 'gentleman' remark was to me for trying to provide programs to resize pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
