    Hack For Buiilding Cables

    Take like a roll of duct or clear packing tape and lay it on its side with a 4x4" or so piece of cardboard placed on top.  You can then use a sharp pencil or the like to poke a pilot hole then jam the 1/4'' right tru and it holds perfectly while you solder.  Caveman tool that works great.

    Classic bands and artists that were hard to categorize

    Kaleidoscope the 60s band with Davis Lindley and others.  Really good and hard to find a box for them.  Not a classic band tho.  Worth a listen for sure.

    Hamer of Guitar Hanging Systems

    I've used the Hercules wall units screwed directly into studs and I've used these screw-in drywall/sheetrock many times and they work great and hold perfectly so you can put them wherever you want...

    Removing Residue from Pickguard

    I've seen many nitro acoustics and electrics wiped down with naphtha.  I got a big jug of it and have used it many times on many plastics, metals and finishes with no damage.  It should cut that residue quickly.  But test the other products you may have.  A quart of naphtha is many lifetimes of use.

    Removing Residue from Pickguard

    Denatured or rubbing alcohol works good too, try test first.  I've seen people use peanut butter with oils it has in it or 3-IN-ONE oil too.

    Marantz 1060 Stereo Amplifier

    Try Savage Audio they used to do some hifi stuff.  It might just need new power supply caps, etc.  Close and they might know someone to refer you to.  The 1060 was ultra popular in the 70s and there are still tons around and working.  You could find many DIY solutions on where to start on YT...

    Receipt says 8/1/80 The Only Guitar Shop, NY.  Case stenciled with J.J. Stokes although it may not be the case the guitar was sold with.  Any history you may know? Thanks.

    Re-Inventing The (Tele) Wheel...Again

    I thought I read somewhere that they were working on a version of this model that has some bits of vibe or appeal.  I think we'll see that release in about a couple of never or so.
