Right behind my hotel there is a small electrical repair shop/second hand store that had a Technics SL-B3 laying on the curb. The owner told me he would give it to me (of course I am sure he would want the equvalent of $5) but I told him it would not survive the trip home. The reason they were trying to get rid of it was that it had no stylus (after a $1 dollar haircut I went back to check the cartridge but it was a no name silver one). I was going to say Needledoctor but then realized they can't use Ebay or Amazon. That is one thing holding the Philippines back...a not very good postal service.

They actually repair electronic gear right on the sidewalk. I saw a man soldering a crt and I even saw a capacitor shop! Tube heads would love that.

I am ready to come home.
