67 here and a lifetime of STUFF. I’m gonna see if the guy at the funeral home will give me an upgrade if we can work out a deal. :-)
I sold 12 Russco, QRKs and Spartas turntables last year, all "As Is." If you bought 3 you had 2 and a few extra parts. That kind of deal. I never sold parts only what was there when I’d pull them from stations. BTW that was 3/4 of the stock I had, I still kept 2 Russcos, 2 QRKs, and ONE 16" 750 Fairchild TT.
10 TD165s, 8 TD124s, 2 TD121s, 1 TD2030 1 47lb DIY platter, 1 Victrola.
30 Pieces of vintage Mac. I’m tired of typing.. there is a lot more..... STUFF!!
I am selling my STUFF though, I’ll reduce to a point where it is easy for my kids or wife over the next 2 years or so.
Now tools and 3/4 of my HO train stuff. I’ll keep the UP and the old steam and brass. Maybe a 2x8 laydown yard and a 4x4 little town. Tools I’ll keep my dads.
The other 2 tons I’ll do something with. Sidewalk sale, bring your own forklift. :-)
Find some dummy that wants to be an underpaid, overworked piece of meat and see if I can (talk him/her out of being a mechanic first) talk him/her into taking the stuff. Sucker! A mechanic need to start at 100K and end an .5-1.5 million per year.
Of course lifetime medical after 5 years of service.. period.. I did 49 years, so that’s almost 10 lifetimes. Do I get a refund? LOL
I want to file a grievance. Where is the shop steward?
OH! I was the shop steward.. LOGTD. Lots of good that did!!!
Happy gift give away, I did Vanilla Beans/Kettle one Vodka in 8oz bottles. I wish you could smell the Madagascar, Tahitian, Ecuadorian or Indonesian beans, all different.
Regards
