STL folks, where would you take a vintage receiver to have it serviced? Mine works wonderfully, but some of the bulbs are burnt out and maybe a general tuneup is in order. My baby...

Thanks, man. I lucked out and inherited that from my old man, which was purchased before I came along and destroyed his expendable play money. And TFG is absolutely correct...Cragislist is a gold mine for upgrading your setup

I just bought this off of some guy on CL. The dust cover is crystal clear and it cost me $50.

That's the one I got. My review is that it's so so but then My prior turntable was a really nice one.

Plagiarism/Etc...

Ever heard this song? I was raised on oldies and loved the girl groups. Lennon/McCartney quietly gloated about nicking bits of songs from other artists.
