Under powered from what little I remember - but would consider
back in the day to turn it into an overnight camper.

Overnight camper -> add captain chair(s) in the back area that would fully
recline. And curtains, got to have that to keep the light out.

I would be picky and want a Volkswagen Type 2 bus.


What you have there would make for a mighty fine to
go to the beach.

Gotta love the green plaid! [ROFL1]

Pair of these to upgrade my OS drive (Raid1), but what a damn hassle to get there. MS "unlicensed" my OS and forced me to use massgrave.

Through no fault of mine, a battle buddy killed the stylus on a venerable Shure V15-IV during a drunken jam session ages ago.

After all these years, finally decided to get it back in play. Should have done something when OE parts were still available but suitable replacement carts were cheap and abundant.

There's much higher end (sapphire cantilever, SAS tips, etc.) but this will do me just fine and is equivalent to the OE HE tip.

LOL, I rotated a Stanton 881S with D81S-II stylus in while waiting. Forgot I even had it. Found it while going through the box of parts/carts I had put away.

I've had 3x Shure M97xE carts in 3 of my decks since forever now and one of them mysteriously has a cattywampus stylus and also suffered the adhesive failure syndrome where the cart body comes unglued from the mount. I expect the issues are related.

Strange how all these carts I picked up cheap or for next to nothing have gotten so expensive. One of the M97xE I bought for $129, then two one sale for $58 each and they now go for $550.

As someone who's never been an audiophile, I guessed you were referring to a turntable "stylus" (I'm so low-tech audio wise I just call them "needles"), but to be sure I had to search "Shure V15-IV".
