This month, more 45 adapters have been added to the 45 rpm Adapters page. Crosley has discontinued the 45 adapter for their repro changers, but I have one that works and its very reasonalbly priced! Search by Brand = Crosley. Some idler wheels where there is ample stock can now be ordered without trade in for a higher price. The listing will show two idler wheel selections if a no trade in sale is offered.

Happy New Year! The big news here is still our new belt menus, but plans for putting up more parts on the website are progressing, so check back often. The US Post Office is raising parcel shipping rates on January 23 rather substantially. After years of absorbing these increases, we will have to raise our shipping and handling rates at this time.
