Changed up the tv/audio command center a bit and some wire work
All digital "rack" on the left and all analog on the right

Cable
Vcr/VHS/dvd combo
Av receiver
5 disk changer

Turntable
Vintage receiver

Something that I do need to add in the future is a cassette desk. Even better if it's a dual one, and a all in 1 VU meter and amp/speaker switch and I'll be all set
I could go all out and say reel to reel but where would you find those these days for a budget price?

I don't miss all the spaghetti that came with all the components, but I do miss how cool everything looked. :thumbs-up:
 
Cleaned on the inside.
I'm surprised that it was this clean and it probably hasnt been opened up in its 50 years of life
2 bulbs for the main dials are burnt out but not going to bother with them till later down the road. They're soldered in.

Vintage electronics are so much better and cooler to work with. Just saying
The huge transformer/power supply and caps. Can put out some serious power.

doesn't look like those NES and SNES classics are hook up. sup wit dat?



in hooligan news. i finally did some yard work. my back lawn might be 350 square feet. had to dump the mower halfway through. also sprayed some weeds and bermuda grass. ran out of spray for the bermuda grass. got this clover looking stuff trying to take over the flowerbed. and while i was at it, did a halfass job of sweeping down the patio and driveway. another week or two and i may bust the pressure washer out and give the patio and patio furniture a good blasting. not that anybody will used it :rolleyes:
 
I spent the morning removing the timing chains and oil pump on my beater accord. 200k miles and had chain rattle on startup.

Got new chain set with all the gears and guides. New solenoid pack for the vvt. Still waiting on the new oil pump.

Got all the old parts off, block clean and ready for reassembly next weekend. Now time for RC!!

Yep those are the mini ones with games preloaded on them
I think we got them at target like 10 years ago
I get them out and play a few on occasion
 
I'm mostly hanging out just a lazy Sunday, It's a bit too windy where i live to run RC's so i'm inside listening to some childhood songs from one of my childhood movies. Also looking at RC stuff on A-Main Hobbies and Amazon i also forgot to mention my dad got me a replacement phone coming since my new phone has an issues where it can't properly connect to a cellular network so i can text or call on it. The replacement should be here next Tuesday.

You might also want to add a few stagnant pools of water out back, so the Tiger Mosquitos have a place to chill. 😛
 
I had a great day, My Dad and Step Mom sold our home gym equipment today since we might not have room for it at our new house in Arizona also not having to move it there. Me and my Dad got to play some more Far Cry 3 on our PS3 this evening and now i'm going to start getting ready for bed soon.
 
Started going through my pocket-knives to down-size the hoard... holy smokes I have way too many. (Don't tell my wife I said that) :hehe:

I started with the single blade lock-open styles... I've culled about 50 Kershaws and another 70 from other brands, and that's without touching the Japanese brands.

Still to sort through are the traditional multi-blades, the swiss army knives, and the multi-tools... then I can move on to the fixed blades!

How's it going everyone? Just another day hanging out in my room watching movies and listening to some music. I started looking at parts i want for my Future X-Maxx Ultimate i plan on using the same esc as my previous X-Maxx which was this one. The Spektrum Firma 160a v2 black edition same one that's also included in the new Arrma Outcast\Kraton 8s EXB RTR's and the Limitless 120 8s RTR. I have one in my outcast and it super smooth and powerful despite being sensorless.

I also might go with an AVC Spektrum receiver to bind to my iXSR+ although i already have an SR615 from my last X-Maxx.

Also plan to do the M2C hinge pins on my truck at some point along with Traxxas blue HD arms.
