Currently en route to S.A. to collect an old vintage tape machine, that is in need of some TLC.
Attempting the cannonball run, nearly 3000k's in 2 days, flying solo.
The things I do for audio. :-X

ozmillsy:

The journey home begins.
ozmillsy:
Ohhhh man, what a trek ! I am totally wrecked. Wont do that again in a hurry. :-\
The machine has been dropped off, to be health checked/fixed.
Desperately needed a relaxer........
Yes, I have bought back an old A80, a piece of history, #209.
Will post a pic, after it has had some love, and is in it's new home. Will be a few weeks at least.
ozmillsy:
* 2 full days driving (dawn to dusk and beyond)
* 2 nights sleeping in the back of the car
* 1 night cuddling an A80, because there was no room
* 3000 k's covered
* 0 speeding tickets (I hope!!! I only have 2 points free)
* 0 space to accomodate new machine in current room
* 1 pleased hifi user, hoping for no major repair dramas. [Fingers crossed]
* 1 bottle of red disappearing clickly
Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.
