How many vinyl records do you have?

I still have all of my 33s and 45s. (No 78s.)

They are in the basement and I should find a home for them.

BarbBinder​, was that Hurricane Fran?

Sorry to hear that Barb.

Yea, Bob, my hearing isn't very good these days. I could use brighter highs to compensate for my hearing loss due to using power tools without proper hearing protection.

Zero. We lost all of ours in a flood 25 years ago.

I had about 300, but sold a lot at a recent garage sale. Just wanted to unload, as I was moving. I was selling them cheap, and one guy kept trying to get me to reduce the price for buying multiple albums, and I had to tell him flat out that just one of the albums he wanted to buy was worth more that the price he wanted to give me for all of them.

One... a 45rpm record about the Portland Timbers that was given out in 1975 as a promotion, when the team was created in the old NASL

I don't even have a player, so the record just sits on a shelf

Zero.

I am not sure, but certainly in the hundreds.  I have a fancy looking record deck that I made many years ago, but it is not currently working because I can't fix its power supply.  It uses a 250 volt synchronous motor — the same as is used on the Linn Sondek, but it drives on the outside of the platter so has to run faster than the standard 50hz.  I made a power supply that produced an adjustable output and gives the correct speed at around 93Hz, but I did this with help from the electronics side of our design team.  My background is mechanical engineering, and without their expertise and with no instrumentation (not even a scope), it has always stayed in the too hard basket.

So now we use a cheap as chips record deck that my wife plagued me forever to find and buy, but after an initial flurry of activity, she got bored and hasn't used it for many months.

I imagine I could find a half decent electronics expert to fix the power supply on my old deck if I put some effort into it.

yes the good days with the JOY of getting up every 7 songs to reset the music

I still have  a couple hundred vinyl records and a Dual 1009 in a cabinet. Went through a Deutsche Grammaphon phase in the 80s.

My wife and I each have about 100 vinyl LP albums, some vinyl singles, and a few 78s. which have been in a cabinet for about 30 years now.  I still have my turntable and analog amp.  I've used the amp on a regular basis, but haven't run the turntable in years.

I was saddened when I heard about 10 years ago that my mothers collection of 45s was in a storage unit in San Diego.

Unfortunately, it was not climate controlled.  So many classics (Nat King Cole, Doris Day, Buddy Hackett, and others) were lost.
