Haha I could more easily picture it on the hood of a truck than actually installed inside the cab. Here's a higher output model with four channels and a VU METER!!!!! OOOoooooooo! That way you can tell it's loud without having to hear it!

This beauty right here.
Approx. 9 dollars at some kind of out-door thrift store.



Working!



This thing is in near-perfect condition.



Wanted one of those since I saw Terminator 2.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I need to re-watch the movie.

Any good hacks for this thing or should I keep it as a collector's item?

Today for me was good. Got the deal of the century on a nice pile of 12ga reloading supplies.

I got:

~7000 assorted wads
~1000 assorted hulls
32,000 #209 primers
~50lbs of assorted smokeless powders
2450lbs of lead shot (8, 7.5 and 6, mostly, in 25# bags)
and a few odds and ends.

Here's the kicker though: I traded it all for a shotgun that I paid $450 for. Resale value on this flax is upwards of $7,000 in the normal market, and probably above $10,000 because of the current flaxstorm (if you didn't know, everything firearms related is way out of stock and inflated price right now due to the flaxstorm surrounding the possible gun bans)


TL;DR: Paid $450 for ~$10,000 worth of stuff.

I take it that means you drive a truck?
Dang, that had to be a long day loading all that up.

I do have a truck, but I actually loaded it all in the back of my Dad's dodge grand caravan. Totally bottomed out the suspension and then some, but it only had to go a block. (literally, guy lives two houses down from me.) Carrying it all into the garage and out of his crawlspace was the fun part.

This just reinforces my reasoning to be absolutely terrified nice to you.

I'm sure you hear this all the time, Sam, but you have beautiful eyes.

Sam, With your radiant beauty, you stand out in crowds as the Moon stands out from the stars in the midnight sky.

You have nice tits.


What I'm trying to say, is please, PLEASE Don't shoot my kneecaps out with bird-shot at point blank, sear my back off with a flamethrower, and then leave me stranded in your neighbors' crawlspace to die. <3?

You say that like I don't fully intend on melting the lead shot down and recasting it as buckshot, and bullets for various calibres. As for your fear, sleight me not, and ye shall receive no punishment. I promise not to punish (read: fill with lead and crucify for the flame god) you unless you are deserving of such a thing.

Got a pair of Technics SB-A50 floor speakers from Goodwill yesterday. $10. I love 50% off days there.

I went ahead and hooked them up to my setup, as my receiver has A and B speakers. They sound pretty good. My Polk Audio bookshelf speakers seem to be more detailed, but the Technics definitely have more bass response, for obvious reasons.



I also picked up that turntable, a Technics SL-BD22 a while back at a thrift store for $10. Got a new needle and belt and it's great.

Got a transparent pink gba and a wavebird gamecube controller (sadly, without the receiver.) for $9 at savers! The controller itself was a sale item, so it was like $4! Gotta find dat receiver tho.

I see receiver-less wavebirds on ebay all the time, it takes the piss.
