Worth cleaning up and being gone thru? https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/eico/3070.shtml I believe the eico amps had pretty decent outpt tranformers, but it wil cost a fair amount to have it gone through to rebuild (needed considering its age and all). I would contact Craig at nosvalves.com just to get a ballpark idea. That would work nicely on your LS, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks @Marvel Prolly not worth the $$$ to resurrect. Should fix the fuse holder and plug it in... See if magic smoke escapes... Say it ain't so .... synthetic coffee. I'll have to give that a miss, just on principle. Think I mentioned wife having AMD. Now, science says THC may slow its onset.Mushrooms being good for cluster/migraine headaches and depression... Maybe the hippies were on to something? We were just having fun. yeah yeah... I'm in a notch group.. Too young to be a hippy and too old to fall into yuppie. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Chicory is a taste I haven't acquired, yet. The local roaster has some beans that were dried with the cherry on. Kinda reminds me of chicory. Rather expensive [for us]... as if it matters. I don't care for the taste. ... and I agree with the "may not"... When the fed made hemp/marijuana Schedule One, it seriously impeded any serious research into the plant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those beans dried 'naturally" like just in the sun without being washed? That's close to being the honey process where the shell is taken off but that's it, the mucilage is left on (like the brittle thin stuff around a roasted peanut). That is terrific when started with good beans, got a 6 oz sample put in my last order of coffee and been on it for the last four days... will end tomorrow drat! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @JohnJ Can't say for sure how the beans are "processed". About all I remember is the way I described. I may have to give it another try. First impression wasn't favorable. I prefer a light roast. Medium at the darkest. Once in a while I get a hankering for dark roast ... but for everyday, it's light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Anyone going to the SuperBowl? I know I am economically challenged and do not have $4600 for a cheap seat. Even if I did ... I can think of things that I would get before a seat at a ball game, so far up/out, tha you need a tv to watch the game... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 My bi-polar sister won tickets to the Super Bowl in New Orleans several years ago. She is one of those people who regularly wins radio show contests. When they ask recent winners to sit on their hands, they’re talking to her. I made a brief attempt to suggest that she should consider selling the tickets, before I was reminded who I was talking to, so I told her to enjoy the game. There is NO WAY I would lose an opportunity to exchange Super Bowl tickets for thousands of dollars. Seeing a Super Bowl Live is not important to me. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO WAY I would lose an opportunity to exchange Super Bowl tickets for thousands of dollars. Seeing a Super Bowl Live is not important to me. My dad had season tickets to the Rams back when they were in St. Louis and way back when they were good. Twice he won the drawing to get SuperBowl tickets. The first year it was in Atlanta and my brother has in-laws there so he went. The next year they were going again (the year the Patriots cheated) and that was in New Orleans. No one was willing to go, so I bought the tickets, sold them for enough money to cover the season tickets for the entire next year so my dad didn't have to come up with the cash. That was the last year he had tickets. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2020 I would positively sell the tickets, for one thing you can see what is really going on in the game much better on TV. Plus you could just about add on a new room with a new TV for the cost of flying, hotels parking and game tickets and other expenses. It would be an experience to see but not for me at that cost anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked if we could dynamite or a flame thrower, both were refused. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Mornin' all How's everyone? We got ~ 0.5in rain yesterday. 2X what was predicted. No complaints The car should be done today ... after the kamikazi deer. Took them a while to get parts . 3 weeks. Over the holidays... Told wife to not expect things to happen very fast, gathering parts. With things being closed and shipping overload.... They say it will be done tomorrow. Now I am thinking of seeing what I can fit in it. I see some KLF20's in Phoenix. $400. In my price range. May be a deal or not. There are some RP600M's for about the same price... but what fun would that be? They will fit too easy. And they are a little on the pricey side [from my view]. Still gonna take the H/K to the shop. That will happen tomorrow or Friday, depending on when the car is done. I really do not think there is anything wrong with it... I need a baseline to work on this intermittent. Plus, the shop will have things I may want. Maybe an amp for the doghouse??? I'm still celebrating my b'day. Wife didn't get me anything fun ... an electric blanket. I'll use it... but it's not FUN. I enjoy getting toys, still. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question. They are so new I haven't really seen any on the used market. I'll track them because I own a pair of b-stock 600M's. My rule of thumb for valuing a speaker new to the market is to take the street price and cut it in half. The 600M's list for $650 (higher price due to China tariffs) and the current selling price (my guess) is around $550. So maybe a used price of $275? That sounds a little low for me considering the quality of sound you are buying. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
