  1. I can still remember the HMV radiogram with my dad's collection of Humphrey Lyttleton 78s, and also some favourites of mine, 'Take Me For A Buggy Ride' by George Melly and Mick Mulligans Magnolia Jazz Band, and 'The Old Music Master' by Hoagy Carmichael. Before my dad passed away (2004) I had bought him a set of Humphrey Lyttleton cds which I now have and often listen to and bring back those happy memories of our tiny terraced house in the '50s. My Dad played the accordion and was gigging from the age of 14 to his 80s. This was sometime after the war with Danny Black's Rhythm Boys.
  2. For the last week I have been daily, sometimes twice, receiving Google verification codes by text message. I haven't requested them and they don't say what account they are for, I have five. I check them all and there is no suspicious activity. I don't know what to make of them yet, possibly leading to some sort of scam or maybe someone else has set up their account with the wrong phone number.
  3. He doesn't say what size speaker he is using.
  4. Message me your address and I'll try and sort one out.
  5. I'd bought them on eBay but the link is now broken. I had a quick search but could not find any other than Hartke Amp Parts.
  6. No. The type you need is this... I bought half a dozen from China for around a fiver. I'll check my mail to see if I can find where from. Edit - Have you checked for loose connections elsewhere... speaker jack, speaker connections?
  7. I've heard 'Sunshine Of Your Love' in a recent advert but it took my attention away from what was being advertised.
  8. Replacing the input jack socket completely solved my problem. The headphone jack is fed from the same power amp output as the speaker jack but also contains a switch that disconnects the speaker jack. I would try some Deoxit sprayed in the headphone jack and insert a plug several times to try and clean the switch contacts, and check it for any cracks like I found on mine.
  9. Logging on this morning I find all the posts over circa 15 hours old have been marked as read, I never use the 'mark site read' button. I still have many threads to catch up on and now don't know where I am up to. Why has this happened?
  10. Another one given the Van Morrison treatment.
  11. I was meaning more along the lines of when corrected it still never sounded like a Gibson mudbucker. The orientation does need to be correct If I remember correctly the 4 magnets have a white mark along the edge. These all want to be facing away from each other or all on the steel plate. Forget about 'like poles repel, unlike poles attract', the steel plate wants only one (the same) polarity on it from all 4 magnets.
  12. The Artec pickup I tried was no different than the Epi pickup, both a far cry in depth and output from an original Gibson humbucker. There must be more to it than the 30kΩ resistance. The magnets in the Artec were in the wrong orientation on my pickup but correcting them made no difference.
