I still have my Technics SL-1500 Turntable, Stanton 881S Cartridge, Sure V15 MK IV Cartridge, and a few Grado Cartridges, although I prefer the Grace Ruby F-9 cartridge the most. 1.5 grams tracking force.
OBTW - "My" little jet (above) was one of the first GPS test-bed aircraft. It was used to test GPS controlled ordinance delivery during GPS development. Yes <shock, shock> GPS was a military program. Col Parkinson, however, knew of its wider potential. The actual GPS equipment was loaded into the centerline gas tank, along with 60# of dry ice for cooling. GPS wouldn't work back then if it got too hot (110+ in El Centro during the Summer). Unlike for the pilot and the 'guy in back' who had to work without cooling until airborne.

Thanks for that info. I knew GPS was military developed, but nice to see the vehicle test beds. I recall that during Desert Storm 1 the satellites were providing gps locations within 5 meters to the troops, and in reality to everyone else until they changed the transmitting settings.
I purchased a "refurbished" HP8015 printer to replace my trusty HP8630 when it died and couldn't be repaired. Serves me well, and I print about 50 pages per day on that one. Sometimes the refurbished/renewed are better than the NIB.
I have a Garmin GPS that I used from 2003 to 2010, and it still works. All my cars have built in GPS, and the better ones don't take me too far from my known route. My plane has a Garmin 530W that is used all the time. The biggest problem is the yearly cost.
