I picked up a Mitsubishi LT-30 TT with a Shure V-15-4 cartridge on it. I was after the cartridge for old times sake and knew nothing of the TT.

I evidently was the only one who offered the guy a decent price so when I went to pick it up he threw in about 100 LP's and a Yamaha CD-1.

I tried to get him to take some money for the CD-1 but he refused.

When I got home and hooked them up I spent all weekend listening to LP's. I haven't done that in 20 years. I love that TT. I know it's not a great one but then I'm easily pleased

The CD-1 sounds great also and I've had a weakness for old CD players for years I think the CD-1 sounds quite similar to the Sony 707 ESD. The Sony having a slightly warmer sound. Or the Yamaha has a more neutral sound. However you wish to look at it

Excellent! Congratulations!

That's really a good deal, sounds like you were dealing with a great guy.

I should have thought to include one the first time.

Thanks, it makes me happy which is enough I almost bought a linear tracking Marantz back in the early 70's. After careful consideration i decided it was too frail for someone like me so I never bought it.

So now umpteen years later I buy a really old linear tracking table. Go figure I haven't gotten any better co-ordinated since then.

Perhaps not, but the older you get the more you realize that you only live once, so what the hell! Why not try it? Some genius once said that at the end of your life its not so much the things that you did that you regret as the things you didn't do or at least try.

I'm getting the growing older part down pat for sure. I'm not even working on the growing up angle. I've seen too many folks who stopped living when they "grew up".
