As I read your pointless, boring discussion, Carl Orffs "Carmina Burana" is playing on a ReVox A77mkIV at 7.5 IPS on the main system. A magnificent tape machine built in West Germany in 1978. I have a Nakamichi 480 (From the same era.) I've been working on for a week now. New belts, lubrication, new meter lamps.......It has one sticky pinch roller arm still hanging up. Once I get that freed up, the Nak will be up and singing as well. Then I set about figuring out what that foreboding noise in my truck is. The truck I have been maintaining myself since 1996, over 188,000 miles.
This is what I do. This is what I've done my entire life.
I fix things. Starting with my mothers toaster, when I was six.
And, I've found that self sufficiency and hard work is a great thing.
But, even that is a waste of time if you don't spend the extra money to get
high quality parts.
