Sounds like you were the soundman Some of the best music have heard was RTR...somebody was a DJ then playing 2 turntables at party. Yes sound man, for weeks before the wedding my friend getting married would come over at night and we would record what he wanted on the RTR for the wedding. I have to say the only thing I have ever heard that was even close to vinyl was a LP recorded to a RTR. I gave away that Akai and all the reels to a relative many years later because it was never used anymore, along with the Sansui. I could kick myself now for doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot recall now but while it was the Beach, it was not the pier itself over the water. This was 97. A large place though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, yes that Sansui was a keeper alright... Live and learn. Got a H/K TD-202 cassete player that is sounding pretty nice at the moment. Now to find where I put a lot of the cassettes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met my wife at my best friends wedding, she was his cousin and he introduced us. He is dead now, no I didn't kill him for doing that. But when you playing music back then you had to have all the disco type music, it's what they all asked for. I hauled around milk crates full of LP's, disco and rock, 2 turntables a pair of Cornwall replicas, a RTR and a Sansui 8080. I would play vinyl and when I wanted to take a break and go get a drink I would let the RTR play, it was fun, you would be surprised how big of a place filled with people some Cornwall's could fill, and sound good. This was 40 years ago when we met, I couldn't do that anymore I refuse to buy play or listen to rap and I know some would want to hear it. Plus now you would be expected to talk, back then you just played music. Eldon, We must compare notes some day. I did similar DJ duty in mid-70s with two turntables and four Klipschorn replicas (Speakerlab), but I didn’t meet Christy, nor did I meet my wife. My only souvenir of those DJ days is a loss of high frequency hearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
