Any vintage Audio fans here?

Here is a picture of my 1976 restored Pioneer SX-1250 receiver and my matching RT-707 reel to reel. My speakers are also from the same year. A pair of Norman Labs Model 10 towers.

Maybe a return of the legendary Toucam Pro?.

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

You can still get the Legendary ToUcam Pro from here: http://store.yahoo.com/pocketscope/toucam.html I just got one last week from them and it was brand new in the box. I am now waiting for my scope adapter from Steve Mogg. I'll be interested to know if you find a new manufacturer using the same chip, because I will eventually want to get another one. The nice thing about the ToUcam is that the lens screws right off.

Nice shot Jake. I just got my webcam eyepiece adapter in yesterday for my ToUcam Pro. I will be hooking it up to my 8" SCT. If you have any tips for me that can help me get started right, please send them my way.
Thanks

The 5000 is better than both of them for astrophotography. The next one better after that would be the D-60. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it;-)

See my article on how to convert a gem mount to go-to here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1007&message=4378594 Those brackets should work with your mount.

Nice image as usual. What does CM 1=177.73 and the rest of those numbers mean?

New M13

Posted By Ralph Encarnacion

Great image Mark as usual. I am thinking of getting the 10D and was wondering if you could put up one of the originals straight from the camera. You can go ahead and reduce it, I just want to see what one looks like.
Thanks

Wifes & equipment budget

We have a good system at my house. I buy whatever I want, she buys whatever she wants, and then we fight! Actually she knows that no matter how much I spend on my hobby, it is still cheaper than a new bass boat, and I am at home.
