What do you mean “re-assemble?”

Sold all my LPs right before I went off to college - my parents made it clear they had plans for my room, and storing my junk wasn't among them lol. Anyway, CDs had just started coming out around then.

But I'm having fun hunting down copies of my old LPs - a lot of the time, old records in dollar bins sound better than the new, remastered LPs that are being made of old music, but the hunt is half the fun.

I still have all the LPs I had as a kid in the 60's,'70's, and 80's. I belonged to RCA Victor and Columbia House record clubs and amassed quite a collection.

When the new record(s) arrived, I immediately played them on my SONY direct drive turntable = "diamond stylus", and while doing so I recorded them on to high quality audio cassette tapes (CrO2 w/Dolby noise reduction.) I played the tapes in my car mostly (a 1970 Buick Electra), and never played the vinyl record again.

So there they sit in my office (with all my "'78's") to this day -- most just played once.

FReegards!
