Awesome setup. Vintage audio definitely has its place. Also I love vu meters. So satisfying. I have an old (around my age too) Pioneer that I picked up for like $12 and did some basic restoration on, and converted the old mostly burnt out bulbs to LED. It sounds great.

Mine has the original bulbs, but as you can see the amplifiers VU display is quite dim now. Can you tell me about converting them to LED? what type of bulbs and is it just a case of soldering them on? The stack is due a service from me and I will be taking it apart to clean and I was thinking of doing it then while I clean the pots, but wasnt too sure of I could actually do it with out some kind of amp adaptors etc....

I always reckon turns 3 and 4 (where Alonso had the huge smash in 2016) is a good spot, as the cars slow right down there, and there's usually something going on there. I think they are the Piquet stands

I never get why they kept him instead of Vergne, did he bring 9000 russian petrodollars to RB?

I suspect it was more to do with marketing/PR reach for the fizzy drinks company in Russia than his ability to drive a car competently (or not).

The last couple of times I went I sat on the outside of the the last corner. There's a big screen visible from there. It's a pretty decent spot. It's a slow point on the track so you don't get the sensation of speed so much when they go past, but it also means you can see more than just a blur going past.

When there are YouTube videos with the title '<your name> crashes compilation,' one would assume your career trajectory is going to take a rather sharp nosedive in the near future.

At least Kvyat has boning Kelly Piquet to fall back on.

To be fair if my choice was drive badly for Toro Rosso or get a sympathy dick grab by Kelly Piquet I would overwhelmingly lean towards the latter.

It wasn't too hard. If you're cleaning pots and/or replacing caps it should be easy for you. There are a bunch of guides over at audiokarma.com, and I just followed a few of those. Sometimes you can just buy replacement festoon (fuse type?) LED bulbs, but they can get a little pricey.

You can also make up your own without too much trouble. Use a little pre-drilled PCB, some wires, and some LEDs, and you can determine the exact brightness and colour you want. They often need a resistor wired inline, but once you figure out how to calculate what value you need it's no problem. Parts are dirt cheap on eBay from China.

This shows straight up LED festoon bulb replacement on a Pioneer a lot like mine: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/pictorial-how-to-led-tuner-bulbs-in-sx-x2x-727-used.675035/

Unfortunately a lot of the AK threads are older and used photobucket, so there aren't a lot of images left. But if you google image search "vintage stereo led bulbs" just try and stop yourself from replacing the old ones once you see how great they can look.

Looks like Parts Express carries the right bulbs for many models... can't beat a 5 pack for $5. https://www.parts-express.com/cat/fuse-type-lamps/1406

And now, to stay vaguely relevant, here's a few pics of some vintage Formula OneTM racing cars.
