[78-L] New kid on the block

[soundthink at aol.com]

Welcome to the List. But consider yourself warned. Our discussions "occasionally" veer off from discussions about 78s. Some pointed questions from newbies will often bring out the paternal instinct in many of our members, which should get us back on track, so you'll need to keep us in line.

Hello I just joined the group. I got a link to this group from a post on Audio 
Karma. I will probably just be lurking for a while as I am not (yet) a serious 
collector. I am quite excited however as I have a GE VR series cartridge on the 
way which seems a perfect fit for my Dad's old Thorens TD-124 and GE tonearm.
At first an older (in home theater terms) Onkyo HT receiver will provide the 
preamp and main amplification until I finish building my vacuum tube integrated 
amplifier. Or I may end up with it set up in my bedroom system with the 70s 
vintage Sony STR-V4.
The table hasn't been used in about 20 years so some tune up may be necessary 
but I have had a bunch of Grandpa's 78 in storage for years and I am anxious to 
give them a listen.
In any case I have a lot to learn about the cleaning, care and feeding of these 
vintage recordings.
