Got my wife a record player also. Can be used like a regular turntable or can be hooked to the computer. Will download vinyl to cd's.

Dad got one of those from mom last Christmas. It's friggin awesome to listen to the same scratches in the same spots in songs that I did growing up. Weird as that sounds...

I'd like to see that record player, too.

I got a Lee lead melting pot, some 7.62x54R dies, a Lyman caliper, space pen, and a hair brush of my own to replace the one the daughters keep taking away.

Now for the rest of the reloading equipment so I can actually reload something...

I got this weird ice scraper with an electric heating element incorporated into it. I have no idea if it'll work or not. Chances are the heating element will work once and then die on me due to it being a shining example of Chinese handcrafting.

I'd have settled for a reloading press of some kind, but eh, you roll with the punches that actually get thrown at you, right?

Wizard,
It humbles me that you are in harm's way on my behalf and I'm sitting in front of my fireplace with my family around me.

Merry Christmas and THANK YOU!

Radio Shack has a couple of models (one here: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... Id=3157958 )

I saw the advertised at Best Buy/Circuit City also.

I've also seen a USB cassette drive advertised online for archiving cassettes; never saw one in person though.
