I can guarantee you all that I am pointless.
That said, and speaking of old(er) things...

Ed the SRT King and I met in PA to visit Carl. I came home with some projects....
An Eico 667 from Carl in pretty nice condition for its age. The Sony TC-440 R2R was out of a console. Ed found a wood cabinet for it.
The exterior could use a paint job. Or leave it as is...
The Sony TC-440 is a four track two channel stereo deck with three speeds, 1&7/8, 3.75 and 7.5ips. It sports a Roto Bi-Lateral Head system which physically rotates the head stack to allow true bi-directional (auto-reverse) recording and playback using one record and one playback head. Typical bi-directional record/playback decks have six heads, two erase, two record and two playback. This one has two fixed erase heads and they rotate the one record/one playback heads for reverse.
Carl had some extra knobs from a Sony.

Looking for all kinds of stuff? I've probably driven by this place hundreds of times. I heard of it years ago, then forgot about it. Lots to browse through on their web site.
I didn't realize how close I was to it.

The url just screams, "Hoarders, come inside, we promise, it's all stuff that you need."
So I'm not clicking it. Even though I'm just a prepareder, a collector - not a hoarder.
Great, now I need to call my sponsor.
@mhardy6647 - I've been tempted and I'm not sure I can... Doc? Are you there Doc?

Not cash… equity and securities. It is only cash when he sells. His money comes from borrowing against those assets. Loans are not taxable and the assets are not taxable until he sells them.The Gear...
