500 Club - QQ All-Star
hello, how are you?
ive been burned by more than one tech out there - seems like when you ship something out of state and only God can protect you - and he's busy.
readytech - chris ready stole somewhere near $5k in bullshit restorations.
quad bob.....enough said.
so as i continued to buy vintage gear - because i have the money and the desire....but i wanted a tech near me....it began to pile up again.
i got cancer and ended up selling a bunch of stuff to make sense of the medical bills - i was getting rid of some sansui paraphernalia - the clock - some signs - the real posters....et cetera.
someone contacted me - said he was local - about an hour and he'd like to see what all ive got.....so i invited him over.
turns out he is a tech
with a scribble-tex pad and a few hours he left with a lot of gear - all in need of repair - and he left with all of my sansui collection....and i went back to bed.
after being burned before...i was mentally prepared for it again....but i also was storing this stuff in a basement that has a bad habit of leaking....so i felt if it all disappeared, then my loss - but at least it wasnt going to the city dump.
in short - *delete* has gotten me my first load of restorations - the sanyo jcx2900k receiver - laugh if you want at sanyo - trust me, being a sansui person.....i never considered sanyo as anything but junk - but reading threads about "sleepers" out there i pounced on a few that i thought looked nice and were impeccably clean - jcx2900, jcx2600, jcx2400 and the 2050....i also bought the sanyo plus 75....but i hated it upon arrival.
i bought the tp600sa turntable x 2 ....but one was destroyed in shipping.
anyways - got the jcx2900 back today - with the tp600sa - and i bought a pair of JBL 4311 speakers from him - all of this completely restored.
came home and ran the speaker wire and plugged up the bluray/cd player - and played 2 of my tester CDs....Soundgarden and the Cult and the Chemical Brothers - needless to say.....a job very well done.
thanks *delete* - you had all my gear - and my payment - and i had a little faith - and you came through....in neon blue flying colors.
might notice the LED lights under the plinth - matches my receiver. once i have the turntable on isolation cones and a mirror....then that will be nice....and cool blue.

not sure why the one with the hand creeps in there so many times - b.f.i.
