This happens all the time alas.

Years ago my grandfather threw out all his old camera equipment as he'd recently gotten a new video camcorder. Thousands of pounds of Leica and Bolex equipment are now sitting in a landfill somewhere in Scotland

Step1:

And mamerls are what, Funghi?

Well some are just parasytes and others are just plain insects. You have also the "chauvenist pig", the "black sheep", the "white fly", the "stupid cow", the "beautiful as a swan", the "graceful as a gazele", the "tall as a giraffe", "blind as a bat", "fat as a whale", "lazy as a panda", "loyal as a dog", etc.

I must correct you my friend, we are mammals.

That's just a sub-group of animals, isn't it...

People are amazing there's no denying this! We are more like animals than we realise sometimes!

That's probably because we ARE animals

HE MUST HAVE BEEN IMPAIRED WITH A FEW OF HIS SENSES

BC2 is heavy, shiny and beautiful, what insane person would think, "oh, chuck it in the bin"?

3 weeks ago I saw a MX6000 on the pavement of my street. I ran to it, just to discover that it had been put here on its screen, so there was a lot of (beautiful blue) antireflect glass around it, and the speaker cloth was standing beside it, looking damaged.

I used to be astonished by what I saw at my local tip, although no B&O as yet. Now a bunch of big fat reception types hang out on 12 hour shifts, tax free profits and unlimited dumping grounds so the chances of picking up anything good is next to zero now :(

Picked this up about a month ago from a customer who had it stored in a shed. The Beogram and Beomaster plus the MCP 5000 are all working and in use now. the Beogram even has a decent MMC5 on it.

The tape deck just needs a new set of belts. Didnt pay a dime for it.

Really don't open such a discussion. The shock we are going to have will directly put us in a therapist!!!

I really cannot imagine such issues. It would just drive me completely mad!!!
