All of LifeSunDeath's posts have been old tech, usually vintage speakers, that they then fix up and resell.

Nice! I have a working sport Walkman kicking around somewhere. It’s got a little hole at the bottom you can stick a screwdriver in to finely adjust tape speed. It’s cool as hell.

That yellow walkman was the poo poo. I listened to Use Your Illusion II on it at least 100 times in the summer of 94.

My Walkman was black with a digital fm tuner, the first digital tuner I had ever seen. Finally, setting a preset station didn’t involved pulling a button out and pushing it all the way back in.

"Maybe some dolphins have sex for pleasure."
I've got a lovely walkman that works fine but I want one of those really sweet old slim high-end sony walkmen that look like 80s futuristic tech. Every once in a while I trawl ebay for one but they're not super easy to find and when they do show up, they're always broken in a way that's probably not trivial to fix. And I'm not currently at a point in my life where I'm willing to track down multiples of the exact same model and try to put together a working one.

Me crush ass to dust

I had a Sony MiniDiscMan that had an insane battery life. I think it was 60+ hours. Sony used to make good hardware.

They still do.
They just get in their own way with proprietary formats.
Vita and PSP suffered from it.
Minidisk could have taken over the world, if Sony could have gotten out of their own way.

Blu-Ray only succeeded because they got Disney on board.



To add to the thread, I bought Dollar Shave Club shave butter.
Shits good.

I used to use all sorts of crazy shaving poo poo but at the end of the day nothing’s worked as well for me as plain old coconut oil. Add in a safety razor and some witch hazel and I spend maybe $20 a year on shaving supplies.

It’s cheap, easy, and fun! I also collect VHS tapes, mostly horror but odds and ends are fun (some highlights of my collection include Blacula, TXCM, the Evil Dead trilogy, and Taxi Driver)

The world is a mess... and I just need to rule it
When I was like 9 or 10 in the late 80s I had a Walkman but no batteries. My young dumb mind thought power was power and stripped a cord then connected it to the battery leads. I had an understanding of what voltage was after that :downs:

I did buy them to fix up. Hopefully enough of them can be fixed with just belts so that I can break even on them.

I also own a WM-D6C which I refurbished with new belts and disc drive rubber, and I have a TC-D5 Pro II which I'm mentally preparing to take apart and fix.

And I have way too many tape decks.
