Anything electrical is mouse attractant.....a wise old electrician once told me that not only is mousepiss highly corrosive it is also highly conductive....and the smell of "dead, burnt mouse" is an unforgettable cornucopia of aromatic, olfactory orgasm.......cause that means that one will never piss in your panel again...
Bwahahhahahahahahahaaaaa!

In the meantime while most of you were foolin' around in here I've got two components of this set back in perfect working order.....

That's very impressive work, Miles, considering what everything looked like in the "before" pictures. You know, if you get any more insurance work doing electronic restorations you might get a chance to demo even more high-end gear.

Thanks for the compliments Nando, and before the owner of this gear arrived this afternoon to have a look (and listen) to his wonderfull gear I played "Hoop Dancer" on it very loud!

(bought this complete album by Bruce Cockburn after hearing this single track on one of your excellent mixtapes, and it became one of my favourites..)

Nice to hear, Miles, as I have since bought a few albums after many mixes I've received from friends and members, here. Your buddy will be happy with what you've done to preserve his stereo system. Judging by the responses to your thread, it looks like you have our stamp of approval from the gearheads.

Complete...

Today I found some suitable and very good (BNS Column Series, a very exclusive Dutch brand) speakers for this set and made a temporary set up again in the livingroom for a deep listening session.

Some beers and some good music went by last evening and at last I'm happy to conclude this very nice sounding set is ready to go back to it's original owner...



Mission accomplished. :thumbup:
