      Rebecca,

       

       I know that you are busy with everything and so don't worry too much about everything. FWIW, the unit weighs in at about 3 pounds if that helps you, and likely shipping will not be very much as it isn't a large box.

       

       LMK when you need payment and how much and I will immediately send it per PP.

       

       Regards, Greg

  2. Now we just have to ask... What came first, the ball or the crotch?
  3. Do have an interest for this upgrade? I can more or less of a rebuild depending on your budget/expectations. The least expensive rate would be at $100.
  4. Why does this remind me of drug dealers. C'mon kid, the first one is free.
  5. Hmm, that does happen from time to time. Just packed up the other C-9 today for shipment to Texas. I believe that I have just enough stuff to do another.
  6. Don't be disheartened Bob. We are working on a solution for natural stupidity. It is called, um wait, what's the word for that?
  7. I was told you are the one to go to about rebuilding C-9's? I recently purchased one and when SH is engaged I get a high pitched noise. when not engaged it's dead silent. I was thinking recapping, new RCAs,,,,,, your thoughts?

      I will open it up today. I am not capable of rebuilding this thing, I am hoping you have time to do it?

      Rebuilding C9 units is what I do. I would be happy to get into this unit for you. The cost would be $100-130 plus shipping.

  8. From Kindergarten through 4th grade, we were using the same soggy straws and the planet just got worse from there.
  9. Welcome Ben, Always good to hear a story like that. What might help is for you to pop the top and show some good photos. That isn't automatically part of troubleshooting, but you are going to be headed there any way. I can't be certain, but we have a fairly extensive set of service manuals at this site and so that is a good place to start. You will meet some folks here that know a thing or two about this gear.
  10. I'll be dammed. It was Montgomery Ward 'Airline'. I don't remember it.
  11. Sears Silvertone, Montgomery wards *****, I forget, and RCA Victor's Golden Throat. We had a Magnavox.
  12. Welcome. Yes, the Stereophile/Carver challenge was a head turner for a lot of us. Not that there weren't really cool products, but more than a few were not going to be owned us anytime soon. I owned some the others and I have owned some of the Carver. I am still stricken by what I have heard from the one Carver A220 that I owned. It wasn't Carver's top model or anything, yet there was an undeniable clarity that, if I hadn't already committed to a year long amp project, I still would have the Carver without a second thought.
  13. Thanks for finding us. And you know, pop the top of that unit and take some in focus photos. We have a library of service manuals that may be of great help. What level of electronics experience do you have?
  14. I see it most mornings at coffee. The Town Cryer Gang comes in and buys a cup of coffee each. Stays for an hour shouting in 'conversation' over each other while we wince.
