Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 10/09/2026In 2005, Bill and Hillary Clinton were VIP guests at Donald Trump’s wedding to Melania. Bill and Hillary were married in 1975, and Donald Trump was not at their wedding. 200
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 26/04/2026This is the Bluesky profile of one MS talking head who attended the WHCD to celebrate Trump. “Chaos is [her] love language.” If you’re watching this unethical twit on MS, you’re getting used. 130
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Blocking this genuinely stupid person from the replies. 000
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Jerry was too much of an anarchist to be an effective anti-authoritarian. Bob had a bit more political sense. I saw them perform together dozens of times, kind of lost count. Peace to Bob Weir, forever playing in the band. 0101
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Someone or something tore this one down on Main near Velo and I took a picture of it on the ground. It’s not a violent one though. 130
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 20/09/2025The Sony STC-7000 Preamplifier is paired with a Sony TA-3200F Amplifier and a pair of Sansui SP-300 speakers and the sound is mesmerizing and compelling. I just keep putting on vinyls and coming back again and again. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 20/09/2025Here’s a picture the 12 transistors, power switch, and six lights that were taken out and replaced with new ones. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 20/09/2025No, I did not get that Sony STC-7000 Tuner/Preamplifier up and running yet. This is a different one that is up and running. The power switch has been replaced on it as it was malfunctioning when I bought it. Also several transistors were replaced. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 13/09/2025I bought an old Sony STR-6120. They say John Lennon owned one of these in New York. I’m checking it out before I hook it up to anything, but it looks good so far. Here’s the insides from the top, bottom, and front. 120
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 12/09/2025Testing it out now, and unfortunately it didn’t completely fix the problem. It’s still doing it a bit, but not as often. I will have to go back in next week for more testing. 000
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 12/09/2025It was a leaky capacitor causing the problem, and actually getting warm. It has now been replaced. The old gray Elna 50v 220µF capacitor came out, and now there’s now a new little blue one that you can see in this picture. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 12/09/2025This week, I started noticing a problem with this tuner. The local oscillator started shifting frequencies for some reason. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 04/09/2025All those little components have been replaced with new and better ones. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 04/09/2025All of these little components have been removed from this Sony TA-1080. They are mostly capacitors. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 16/08/2025On the bench today for inspection, testing, and cleaning the controls. 000
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 31/07/2025I had to get a new Low Pass Filter for my favorite FM Radio Tuner, my Sony ST-5000F from 1967-68. The old Low Pass Filter failed. It’s working perfectly now, connected through my DT-30 timer for turning it off or on. The Archer antenna pulls in the local college radio station. The sound is great. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 27/07/2025Sony STC-7000 (#500630) bottom view with bottom cover off. This unit needs further testing. 110
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Cleaned the belt path and put on a new belt, and it’s working. 000
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 04/06/2025I recently acquired a Sony SB-3335 System Selector. It has inputs for 3 tuner/phono/auxiliary units, 3 tape decks, 3 amplifiers, and 5 sets of stereo speakers, thus the “3335” name. 110
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 04/06/2025It’s a very nice-looking 8-track deck with the cover on it. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 04/06/2025I got one and it’s on my work bench. I’m examining the inside and cleaning it now. 100
Son Thou @sonthou.bsky.social · 01/06/2025I would like to buy one of these and use it with my system, maybe go quadraphonic. 110
