Vintage Audio Addict I've enjoyed stereo equipment sense my teen years in the 's. I lived in a fairly small city but there were several small stereo shops which I visited often. This was before best buy, circuit city and other big box electronic stores came to town, As I grew older I gained an interest in learning to repair the equipment.
I enjoy both tube and solid state equipment equally from the early 's to the late 's. This is not a YouTube channel that show's step by step procedures but I've tried to include some details about each project that may help other folks working on the same equipment.
Working on vintage stereo equipment is not my profession but a hobby. Do my restoration idea's fit everyone? Do my idea's about what equipment is good or bad fit everyone? Hell no! It's your equipment and do as you will as I do. Sweet Night. Feel Special. The Truth Untold. Make It Right. Winter Bear.

You can only access the city by plane or boat. If you take the latter it would be about a forty-eight-day trip from Lima, traveling around Brazil to the opening of the Amazon River that will eventually get you to Iquitos.
Iquitos is a very noisy city, and lively. Most people ride motorcycles or take the three-wheeled motorcycle taxi to get around. Abelardo pointed out that this was because larger vehicles needed to be brought to Iquitos by boat, due to the absence of roads.
Having been told this, I was surprised that there were any large vehicles at all! But of course, there were—trucks, construction vehicles, and all types of vehicles necessary to a major city like Iquitos, which has been a center of production for various industries. In addition to the rubber boom of the s, oil was discovered in the s. Tourism has become increasingly important. We passed many buildings that still displayed ceramic tiles which were imported from Europe during the days of the rubber barons.
Our trip was enormously educational and eye-opening, and much of the credit for that is due to Abelardo. As Nancy said, we were really blessed to have Abelardo as our guide. But more about the dolphins later! David: When we told Abelardo that we were music teachers, there seemed to be an immediate sense that all of us were of kindred spirit.
The teacher rewarded Abelardo with some funds, helping him to make a difficult decision to leave the village and go to the big city, Iquitos. Iquitos, however, was not an easy place to survive for someone without urban work experience. He ended up driving a typical three-wheeled Iquitos taxi for the desolate midnight to early-morning shift because he lacked an official taxi permit to work during the day.
With so few taxi customers, Abelardo was at a dead end. He returned, only to be told to come back yet another time. Abelardo took every opportunity to work his way up to better positions and with the mentorship of an experienced guide, the aid of an ever-present dictionary for late-night study, and attentive listening to the tourists, was eventually able to master enough English to become a guide himself.
In addition to being a very valuable assistant to the serious bird-watchers with his knowledge of the various bird calls, he knew both the Latin and English names of all of the local flora and fauna.
David: We found him to be so much more than a guide—an environmentalist, a historian, a botanist, an anthropologist, and a life-long learner. Following our tour of Iquitos, Abelardo accompanied us on the twenty-five-mile boat trip to Ceiba Tops Lodge, which would be our home base while we explored the Peruvian Amazon.
We chose this lodge mainly because it had hot water and other amenities—after a busy first week at the festival, and knowing we would be teaching another as soon as we got back to Lima, we felt that we would be in better shape if we eschewed the more rustic options, at least on this occasion! As we coasted along the wide river, Abelardo pointed out the moment we truly entered the waters of the Amazon: close to Iquitos, tannins from decaying leaves make the water black. But as we entered the Amazon, there was a clearly defined line where the black water met the brown, sediment-rich water of the Amazon.
When we arrived at the dock at Ceiba Tops, we learned something else about the Amazon: the stairs up from the pier were painted with dates. Each step indicated the height that the water had reached in that particular year, because as Abelardo told us, in the Amazon, there are not seasons as they are known in other parts of the world. There is only the high-water season and the low-water season. It was amazing to compare the difference between the two, and the differences from year to year as well.
This change in water levels has had an unfortunate result for at least one resident of the Amazon. The piranha has a reputation for being a ferocious and ravenous creature. Abelardo explained that when the water levels drop, piranhas can become isolated in little lagoons where, once they have exhausted the available food supply, they are indeed likely to devour anything that falls into their domain.
At high-water periods, however, the piranhas are like any other fish, and they are eaten and enjoyed by the local people. Certainly piranhas have very sharp teeth; when we visited a village of the Yagua people, the chief showed us how the jaws of piranhas were used to sharpen the darts that the hunters use in their blowguns.
We traveled by boat to a village where we watched a traditional native ceremony, with all members in their traditional attire. During one of the ceremonial dances, we were invited to try the dance and see if we could follow the steps.
I was grateful that a young girl invited me and not the chief! We mingled with them afterward, buying some of their crafts that were hanging around the ceremonial hut, and watching them shoot the hand-made blowguns that they use for hunting. We were able to try the blowguns ourselves and see if we could hit the targets. I was surprised when on my first attempt, I hit the target right in the eye. Nancy: I discovered that the rain sticks literally create the sound of the rain in the jungle!
In this village I was able to buy a crude rain stick decorated by a villager with pictures of a fish. I think it is the best sounding rain stick I have been able to buy and carry home. Entering a thatched lodge with open walls, we sat on benches around the edges. I was grateful for the palm-leaf fans that we were given—as soon as we entered the still air of the lodge and stopped moving, we were sitting targets for the many mosquitoes that inhabit the rainforest.
