Notes

The blog I meant to start 20+ years ago.

Hello, World. Here’s a start of daily blog habit. Inspired by my friend and colleague Mickey Mellen who’s taken to writing every day.

Truth is that I’ve had every intention to blog the couple decades I’ve been on active on the web and back when I first started to journal on the web. (You know, before they were called blogs.) In lieu of blogging, I’ve used Twitter for some pithy thoughts and Facebook for snark.

I hope to use this space to speak on a few things I care about including the tech, music, some of my habits, and things I like. See you tomorrow.

Yamaha YP-211 Turntable

April 6, 2008 By Bobby Kircher 16 Comments

I found this Yamaha YP-211 turntable while thrift store shopping in Atlanta today. It appears to be in good shape — electrical works, the motors move, and I hear audio coming into the amp. Nor is there any kind of physical blemishes to it.

Note: As of October 2019, this turntable is now available at Dead Tech in Atlanta where it’s being restored and available for purchase.
