spindle spider dot comWell – and I guess I can say this about many places I’ve been – I never thought I’d find myself in Maryland. And not only did I go, but the whole thing came together with just a few days notice. Worked for maybe 4 hours. Can’t beat that, right? Usually a plane ticket to […]
Got a call out of the blue to head down to Wilmington Illinois. Where is that? I had no idea either – I seriously figured it had to be down in central Illinois or beyond. Turns out, it’s just a little south of Joilet so only about an hour for me. So I drove down […]
Probably the final St. V’s anywhere in the Chicagoland area (or beyond) that I have left, not counting out of state locations (though I’ve seen more than a few of them!). I never get out this way so when I had the opportunity, I wasn’t about to let it pass. Nice stash of vinyl, albeit […]
I have been wanting to make another box for a while now. I am a bit worried about all the weight on my record bins and hutch. I estimate that the two actual pieces of furniture are 250lbs at least and the 600 records and 100+ 45s has to be at least 750lbs. Besides, I […]
This Savers has eluded me for a few years, it is just too far out of the way to force me to get up there and I don’t get that way for work often enough. Finally made time on a lazy Sunday in my mom’s borrowed car as I housesit for them while they […]
I don’t post about hardware because there is nothing to post. I have had the same setup for quite a while and haven’t changed anything. That is, until now. Let me back up. The first set up I had were two Technique 1200s and a Vestax PMC 17A. I bought that setup complete on ebay […]
I checked this place out pre-construction on my last trip out to Terre Haute. After I took a leak in an outhouse outside (and wondered why there was an outhouse outside) I strolled in to be greeted by a bunch of construction workers. I vowed to return and after wrestling with myself for a few […]
Don’t know how this place slipped through the cracks – never checked it out. Made my way over on a quiet weekend and enjoyed the dig. Like every other Goodwill, apparently someone, somewhere is fabricating these record bins for them as they are in every single store across the land. However this one had seen […]
Headed back up to Cary. In previous visits I have checked out a toy store and a record store. Trip #3 I took a look around in a Goodwill and I found yet another on this jaunt. This was a pretty clean store and I quickly discovered their stash on an end cap near the […]
I woke up Saturday morning and checked gsalr.com for vinyl. I was first dead set on checking out a sale in Villa Park but I noticed that it had been open since Thursday. Garage sales on Thursdays should be illegal. Don’t people have to work? So I started thinking that the vinyl would be pretty […]
