Welcome to the "Museum" as I jokingly call it. As analog is getting pretty much obsolete, radio stations trash their analog gear, replace it with computers and little else. Fine with me, as everything here in my studio (or most of it) was orphaned from a radio station looking for a home. As one who worked playing carts on air and most of this gear professionally, and now i'm out of the business, It's a great souvenir to play with and a nice way to preserve a different time of the broadcast industry, when people were hands on 24/7, playing records, carts, reels, etc. We still have the PC here, recording in digital, and I also do transfers from analog. It keeps me out of trouble, and my wife still loves me with all this stuff in the house (can you say true love?)

I can handle vinyl/acetate discs (up to 16 inch transcriptions, and speeds 33, 45, 78) tape (broadcast cart, cassette reel-3.75 to 15 ips, 1/4 and 1/2 track-stereo/mono 1/4 inch) and digital media playback (CD/Minidisc) and playback/record through analog inputs (CD/Minidisc). pretty much anything with a analog line output I can jack in. This studio is also used to create the funky world of CHEEZE PLEEZE The weekly half hour or so salute to cheezy music. CLICK HERE To find our more.

 I'm slowly working on getting an online streaming radio station together, to be run from the basement as well as "production" as mentioned above. pictures will be posted eventually, but it's an ongoing project right now, building and trying to acquiring gear. The goal is to try to get as much 1970's based gear for the control room as possible, so far so good, here's how it looks so far.
