kulgan 1042 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 Winning auctions at the last minute, and below your max. Oh and LandRovers. The joy is in the challenge. Pick up my new S2a SWB this weekend Happened to me today. A Manhiem auction and whoever was bidding against me put a bid on as the hammer fell. The auctioneer removed that bid and I won. And it was a steal. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted October 6, 2015 Fixed my daily drivers factory spec CD player, replaced about 20 larger capacitors on the control board, now it can track and play CDs without skipping. Sounds so much better than the crappy JVC aftermarket unit that was put in by the previous owner. Love my 90s era Hi-Fi! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 7, 2015 I had to drive to Palmerston North today. I was due to leave and had been sitting on my front doorstep deep in thought for about 5 minutes when my son came out and asked what I was doing cause he thought I was leaving. I looked at him, smiled and explained that I was having trouble deciding which car to take..lol He flipped a coin for me and I took the V12. Life's choice bro. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted October 7, 2015 Its not a nakamichi unit is it? The USDM ones got those. I'd like to see inside to see how different they actually are. JDM got Panasonic derived ones, inside Toshiba, Technics and Sanyo brands are to be found. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 16, 2015 Man we've got it good here. Mod's who don't mind using a bleeped out profanity every now and then. I just received a warning from the mods of an American based forum I'm on. I got asked to edit thread where I said "oh my god". Apparently, not only did I take the name in vain I also used it as a profanity. The warning came when I edited the post as they requested to "oh my Allah". Now I'm being inflammatory they say and deleted my entire thread..lol Some people have no sense of humor. To the Mod's and Admin here. You guys are friggin awesome. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
