Hi y'all,
We've been unable to source the right parts for the CD players, so I've purchased another one.
It's a TEAC CD-P1440 cd player, BUT with no operating instructions. As its operation is a bit unusual, I hope to be able to master it soon and get back to using some Cds. (If anyone has a set of instructions, I'd like to hear from you).
I have also purchased a second turntable to assist with the playing of 78 rpm records. It's been a bit difficult changing needles midway through the programme, so I hope the 2nd player eliminates those problems.
The book we had to bypass reading because it was on a Cd is scheduled to be started at the end of this 13 week period.

And, don't forget, I would like to hear from anybody who thinks they could take over this session on Oamaru Heritage Radio from me. Assistance in resources and equipment is available to the right person to establish a home studio. Commitment and enthusiasm are the only requirement. Training will be given provided you can get operational before I pop my clogs (which could happen any day). There is no requirement to follow the format I have established. If you take over, it will be your programme, but the heritage aspect should not be neglected.
This postion can be worked from anywhere in the South Island.

Here is the programme I envisage broadcasting over the next 13 weeks:
Note, since getting this particular PC, I've been unable to succesfully 'cut and paste' to this blog page without the script pulling to the left. This month it is worse than usual. 
Just remember, the programme times are 5.30, 6pm, 7.30 and 9pm, with Radio Archives at 6.30 and Tape Archives about 10 or 15 past 8, and weather forecasts at 5pm and 9pm.
