Hi Bob ..Good to see you back.. Kids do the most terrible things but destroying a system like that Ouch!!!... you just have to love the little darlings ... soon they'll be looking after us and we'll be falling over their precious belongings in a state of senile decomposition.
My system doesn't match yours .. but it does me fine.
Sony 1981 TA-AX3 amp TC-FX3 Cassette deck and yes I still use it.. 2000 cassettes that I can live with happily .., ST-JX2L/jX2s Tuner ans Wharefdale Laser 100 70 Watt Speakers.
A couple of years ago my Mother in law bought it for me at the church bazaar... thought it would make a good christmas present .. then let out it cost £5.00 but I'm not complaining
My previous purchase of a Panasonic SG 3080L Music centre about the same vintage at a junk auction house for £15.00 was scanalously expensive.
People are buying modern systems with CD players and MP3 attatchments and junking the old stuff. They haven't realized you can gat a portable CD player and feed it though the antique lol.
Look around .. there are huge barg@ins, although I suspect not on ebay
Here's a smiley or two
There were some alterations to the smileys yesterday but by the time you posted all was sorted out.. so blame it on MS .. I blame everything on them
