    Viruses were created to test the security of UNIX systems, Dr. Evil got ahold of some after that. PS Old mainframes are a big part of the reason all of those STIMULUS CHECKS are going to the wrong account numbers etc. At least they don't require little old ladies to constantly change the bad...

    I have a VCR repair to attempt, what is it I'm looking for and?

    Well, it's actually passive signals the video amp wasn't now and if I can split the coaxial off to the two stereos (AV and the little Pioneer I use at my bedside) then I should almost be there, with a little tweaking from the living room amps. I have to find a long RCA stereo cable to finish...

    I have a VCR repair to attempt, what is it I'm looking for and?

    It got here around 4 pm, I had to take a long nap though, I was tired. It has no feet! For the moment I can borrow them from the U70. Or are they in there somewhere and I need to find them? I'll look.

    Technics M85 - worth restoring?

    I wouldn't bother. Decks of that era tended to top out on Type I at 13-15 kHz and it took metal to see improvements...not to mention at our age our pets hear better than we do. Give it some time and see what happens. 40 year old tapes may not be as spectacular as we thought. Try recording a...

    Technics M85 - worth restoring?

    I have one or two in that series and when they work they are excellent. The 90s dual decks seem simpler though, those are my favorite black faced Pioneer decks. But then again I have a CT-F1250 in like new condition,...major score THAT was.

    I have a VCR repair to attempt, what is it I'm looking for and?

    Fedex had rescheduled the U50 for Tuesday but now it's on the truck for delivery today! I woke up at 2 am and was ill from Easter dinner and took the third video amp in the bedroom apart to spray and I don't seems to have gotten much from it other than it doesn't overload but I have next to no...

    Well dang. If I could at least get the U50 service manual I think that would help.
