One day, while MO was sitting on my lap...

[user328]

I wish I could fix it for you. I know you'll miss it as much as I miss mine.

[Mister Obvious]

Thanks Dev, you really are sweet.

Yes, I'll miss it but...

At least I still actually have the machine.

It's not a whole loss, been through all that before too, many years ago.

[Mister Obvious]

I do wish I had some kind of a case for it though...



I might have to rig a luggage case to be a fit for it.

This fucker ain't leaving my possession, lmao.

[user328]

Put it in a big plastic bag with some silica gel packs before you put it in the case.

[Mister Obvious]

Great idea...

*takes notes*

I won't have to case it up for a while, but the time will come and I'ma be ready.

[Mister Obvious]

When something has given you this amount of absolute pleasure in life...

Well, you tend to take it seriously.

[user428]

Don't turn into a hoarder chatwoman lol

[Mister Obvious]

Of course the speakers are kind of a huge part of the equation, lol.

But it's the receiver I'm stuck on...

[user428]

It's gunna keep having more parts go out on it, that thing is toast.

[Mister Obvious]

Don't turn into a hoarder chatwoman lol

Oh I'm the exact opposite... that's why it's so hilarious to think about lugging a vintage receiver around lmao.

Lol, Dan...

Just quit while you're ahead brotherman.

[user328]

Don't turn into a hoarder chatwoman lol

She'll never have as many vintage stereos as I used to have. lol

[user428]

Okay that's good. I'm mostly a minimalist myself.

[Mister Obvious]

*locks eyes with Dev*

[user428]

Okay, I won't disparage your stereo anymore. lol.

[user328]

I doubt it. The caps are really the only components that go bad. Transistors last forever. The main thing is to keep moisture out of it while it's in storage.

That's where I'm at now. One Casio keyboard instead of 30. YouTube and a pair of powered speakers vs. a stereo with turntable and subwoofer in every room.

[user428]

I just got a pocket knife and laptop myself. All I need, Bro.

[Mister Obvious]

a stereo with turntable and subwoofer in every room.
