No Safari needed! If you double-click an image on the desktop (or wherever) it opens Preview. Go to Tools, then Adjust Size. If you select more than one image at a time, then you can batch resize and save them. Handy for quick rotation using Apple+L or Apple+R too  ;D
Yup, use that a lot too.

I think I missed out on the discussion..... Probably while I was hiding in The Cave.... The funny thing is all our female guests visiting our house are always the first onces that want to see it....  ;D

The name by the way will not be mancave......

Yesterday tried to get the music going.... My 1971 Seeburg Bandshell has trumble starting after 10 years of rest  :(

This thing is filled with very early solidstate electronics  :shock:

So far it seems to be a mechanical issue....... The mechanical part is also complex and very compact...... :evil:

I 'm hoping on a breakthrough otherwise this will be a huge project. Any expertise here?

No Fear. I attacked the whole player, record store and frame with my combination of Dasty (degreaser), hotwater and a hairblower. She is nice and clean now, tomorrow I will oil her up  :P

See what happens.

and did it work ?
mine has a noticable hum while playing, I read that some rubber(s) need to be replaced for that.
Mine also starts too far into the record making it miss the real start of the song. I'd also like to disable the "soft start" sound at the beginning of each play back....
