@@Brucinator68 Thanks! I have more coming soon!

@@chendochondocorpus6497 Thanks so much, I’m glad you liked it! Do you have one of these turntables?

@@johnbeckham1483 Nothing at all, sorry. I’ve never had or heard either of them

@@TheVintageNewbie Thanks nonetheless. 2 stereo receivers that I recently purchased as they both are performing well!

@@johnbeckham1483 Awesome! The Shack put out some great gear! There are a couple of vintage Realistic groups on Facebook you could join where people know a lot about different pieces of stereo equipment

@@johnbeckham1483 Thanks! Yeah I love 70’s Shack gear, I have an entire rack dedicated to Realistic equipment

@@redsultimate5820 nope just regular speaker wire

@@dandinhofer9240 ahahahaaha thanks!

@@Josef-jj.p I’m not sure, I got them from Joseph Mirabella, projectblk86 on eBay. Met him on a vintage stereo Facebook group and he was highly recommended by everyone when it comes to LED’s. He’s super nice and always helpful.

@@martyjewell5683 That’s awesome! If I knew then what I know now, even though I was just a kid, I would’ve loaded up on vintage stereo gear and kept all my records (my records all got flooded in Katrina 20 years ago). I’ve heard of some of those shops even though I’m from New Orleans. I actually have a Hall & Oates record that still has its original price tag sticker from The Wiz. Nobody beats The Wiz!!

@@TheVintageNewbie- Katrina musta sucked. Poor bastards goin' thru that. Betcha it sidetracked lotsa lives. In 1975 my first hifi "component" system consisted of a Pioneer 15wpc receiver, BIC TT and KLH model 31 speakers. All for under $250. It was boss, at least until the hifi bug bit me. It's a swell hobby, I dig it. You got a nice collection there. The funkiest receiver I ever seen (saw?) was the Advent 300.

@@bearded_wolverine3503 That seems a bit expensive, unless it has some super fancy cartridge and brand new stylus. On eBay they average around $200 plus shipping. Though I’m really hesitant about getting a turntable shipped. I’ve heard MANY horror stories about turntables getting busted up in shipping because they weren’t disassembled and packed properly

@TheVintageNewbie I agree, price is high and I absolutely agree that buying off ebay is a chance I don't want to take

@@bearded_wolverine3503 Yeah especially if you got a 1200 mk2 with a VM95ML for $325! (Just watched your video), I’d say that’s definitely the deal of the year!

When I was in college during the mid-70s these were ubiquitous in the dorms after the freshmen got rid of their GE Mustangs they brought from home. These were then hooked up to Harman-Kardon 330B receivers and Smaller Advents or Boston Acoustics speakers... those were the days😊!

@@tiojimmy3425 I’d imagine quite a lot of them are still going strong too!

@@chrisnunya7171 I’d consider ANY Eagles Greatest Hits album to be hi quality sound! Lol. 24 karat gold cd?! Is it like one of those “certified gold cuz it sold however many millions of copies” that they put in a frame?

@@wrxfrontier6584 Yeah sorry about the crazy glitching at the beginning, must be my dial-up lol. Definitely couldn’t pass on $10, plus it’s always good to have a backup

@@chrisnunya7171 Thanks! Yeah I’d always wanted one too. I was glad I was able to find one for cheap. It kinda sucks to be running out of things to talk about but I’m also glad cuz it means I’m happy with what I’ve got and don’t have to keep hunting for more gear lol! Well, unless I find a pair of Optimus T-200 speakers for a good price, in which case I’m scooping them shits up with the quickness, haha

Thanks! I had a blast doing it!

@@chrisnunya7171 Thanks! This was about an hour and a half away from where I live lol. I’m actually down to 1 reel player, I ended up selling this one recently to a guy who wasn’t looking to record anything, he just wanted to play some old tapes his dad had recorded back when he was in ‘Nam. Thanks again, pretty psyched about Star Trek! Comes out in a week and a half! Definitely a dream come true ❤️

@@renderingrocks Hey! Yeah I think we’re in the same Realistic group! For the rack, that’s just a badge I got off eBay and slapped it onto a rack I had. I searched but as far as I know, RS never put out an actual Realistic rack

I love Realistic gear! Especially since most folks don’t like it you can still get some good pieces for great prices

Hey! Good to be back! I get the streaming thing, it’s more convenient and makes sense financially, but if money and space weren’t a factor, I’d do records all day.

@@wrxfrontier6584 Thanks so much! Hopefully folks will like it. V is one of the best letters, definitely in the top 26 haha

@@adjhunts811 Yeah it doesn’t have a speaker and needs to be connected to a receiver with red and white RCA cables. You won’t get any sound by just plugging speakers into it

@@TheVintageNewbie could i plug this into a phono preamp (schiit mani 2) which would connect to powered speakers (triangle borea br03) and be good to go? i've been looking all over the internet for some clarity on that, but i cant find an on point answer.

@@moshisdad666 I wouldn’t. A phono preamp amplifies a turntable quite a lot so plugging a tape deck into it (to my understanding) could overload it. It should be plugged into the Tape In or Aux jacks in the back of a receiver, either an older vintage receiver or a more modern A-V (audio video) receiver. Do you have either of those?

I have a Sony STR-DA3000ES receiver. I guess I could use this if I get speakers that are compatible with both

@@adjhunts811 oh okay cool. Yeah you should be able to plug it in. Get a pair of red and white RCA cables, plug one end into the “Preamp Out” on the tape deck and the other end into “Tape In” on the back of the receiver. And if you want to record onto a blank tape connect another red and white RCA cable from “Tape Out” on the receiver to “Aux In” on the back of the SCT-25 tape deck. I’m not sure if you can connect powered speakers into the back of that receiver (there are A LOT of jacks on the back of that receiver!) but if you can’t you should be able to plug them into the headphone jack on the front of the receiver, though you’ll need a 3.5mm to 6.35mm (1/4 inch) adapter

Cool, glad yours works! I hope it continues to do so.

@@garyjones2582 Oh man that sucks, sorry she sold it! Not sure if you’re near New Orleans but there is a similar receiver listed on Marketplace (Sansui Seven) for around $500

@@TheVintageNewbie ok.. thx for the heads up....

@@JRingo-vp5wp Thanks so much! I’m kinda running out of gear to talk about though haha. I’m glad you’re liking these :)

Same here. Keep them out of the landfills

That’s awesome! I’ve heard there’s a rewiring thing to keep the dial lit up even when using Phono and/or Aux. I have no idea how to do it though, haha

Yeah I just buy them for the lights. Receivers produce sound?!?!

None to be found through google search as far as I can see.

2 years what?

@1:38 cracked me up lol

@@ricklapointe4722 oh hahaha yeah I forgot about that, glad it made you laugh!

Thanks so much! Always great to meet another fan of this band and album

Oh and when you put LED's in it, consider moving the lighting feed wire to the source voltage so the dial never turns off. You have to enjoy that face!

@@renderingrocksI have no idea how to move the lighting feed wire to the source wire. I wish I did so I could keep the face lit up all the time. As for why my buddy had it apart, I think it was just because one of the channels was cutting out. I’m guessing it’s because the selector switch needs to be cleaned (which I’ll do when I open it up to install the LED’s), I just plugged in to B Speakers and everything sounds great!

Thanks! I still have a few more left to make, maybe I’ll do something afterwards, who knows? Yeah I didn’t know anything about Sansui either before getting this one, but now I get it!

Thanks!

@TheVintageNewbie I've been looking for a vintage receiver I remember my mom's Kenwood from when I was a kid sounded so good. But ya I'm a pioneer guy. I'm still researching thanks for the video.

@@jasondessin8962 if you’re on Facebook there’s a group called Vintage Stereo & Hi-Fi Equipment that’s pretty active and has a lot of knowledgeable members. I’ve learned a lot from the folks there. A couple of years ago I knew absolutely nothing about this stuff. Now I can actually fix some stuff!

Awesome, I’m glad you liked it and thought it was funny too! Good luck on changing yours, it wasn’t too hard from what I recall, just be careful with the bulb clips

Haha yep I’m the king of minimal beginner’s repairs! Oh and I saw a comment where you talked about Realistic changing to Optimus but when I went back later to respond, it was gone! Did Yutoobs delete it?
