Crazy Eddie's. electronics retail in NYC in 80s. lots of scam. https://thehustle.co/the-popular-electronics-chain-that-scammed-america/ Every night starting at 10:30, Crazy Eddie store managers descended on the Brooklyn home of Antar’s uncle (also named Eddy). They came with bags full of...

suppose you could go to any store, now or past, with a wallet of appropriate money, wampum, or electrum cobs? I think I would like to go to a Radio Shack in the 1980s and get me a Realistic stereo (and speakers of course). alternate; a Southern diner in the 1950s for some real fried chicken...

We all know about One-Hit Wonders (!) but how many two-hitters can we think of? I think the best example is The Motels; 'Suddenly Last Summer' and 'Only the Lonely'. I got their greatest hits CD and those were the only two songs worth listening to. (imho) back in the day of 45s I swear some...

'Greyhound' trailer Tom Hanks as a WWII Destroyer captain escorting a convoy & fighting off u-boats looks real good.

some of you may have heard of Flying Saucer Attack. probly categorized as 'electronica'. really good mellow music but they always add a layer of tone or chord that obscures the music instead of augmenting. if I had resources/knowledge I'd love to track down their original tapes and remix some...

back in the 80s stationed in the DC area listening to WHFS Annapolis I heard this song a few times but could never identify. lyrics stuck with me. I thought was 'when the world machine' but it's 'war machine' i remembered 'here in black and white are your answers' and I searched that tonight...

name a group/artist that might or might not be real. 'Margot and the Nuclear So-and-so's'

what non-traditional holiday movies do we like? 1) gremlins. very timeless feeling to it, from the opening scene in Times Square / Chinatown (note the sailor in the blue uniform) to the guy driving the tractor (and the kid driving a beetle). cool, fun, different. Phoebe Cates is achingly...

anyone following? with Team USA out I'm rooting for El Tri, aka Mexico.

so I have some old speakers I'm connecting to a unit using RCA cables. the tweeters are wired to the woofers. coming out are two wires, one black and one yellow. the RCA cable has a central wire and an outer wire. does it matter what connects to what?

2001 Ford Ranger. 180,000 miles. still purrs like a kitten. Ford, you did this one right!

nothing good on tv these days so have been spending more time on radio using an Insignia unit (EPI Microtower speakers, hand-me-downs from a co-worker who upgraded). been fiddling with antenna combinations thread here...

I know there are several threads about FM antennas, I have a few things to clarify. 1) I plan to use some heavy-gauge copper wire for an element. how long? 38"? 2) do I split it in half and attach one lead wire to each piece? 3) if I keep the element in one piece, how do I attach the lead...

looking for 50s music but not rock and roll / doo-wop. the stuff the older ones listened too. try to imagine something Perry Mason might have on. seeking examples. any thoughts? Ink Spots maybe

there are things that don't (apparently) exist but I wish they were real. 1) Flying Saucers from the 50s and 60s. not the new-age Close Encounters stuff but the silver discs sneaking around missile bases, or the nocturnal pulsating lights suspiciously close to the power plant. we waited and...
