Thanks...thought about shooting low and offering $750....but $800 seems fair
I currently have a RSW-12....anyone that can compare the RT-12D to it?

Local guy on a Swip-Swap Facebook page has a full 7.1 RF-83, RC-64, RS-62 and a RT-12d.....all in Cherry finish except the RS-62's
Guy seems to really need to get rid of them...sent me a PM saying he'd take $1200obo....thinking I could grab it all for $900
This seems too good to be true....or is that about market for this gear?

Morning all
Been a few REALLY busy weeks.
Got a lot of the little "annoyances" fixed on the Volvo.....runs like a scalded dog...holds a good 14lbs of boost when in it...been extremely happy with it so far.
Tallied up for all the little stuff I've spent getting it back into daily driver condition....I've got right at $2000 in it....guy stopped by the house on Monday asking about my little Civic....told him it needed a Transmission Lockout Solenoid but that it had 78,000 original miles and that A/C and all power worked....he took it for a drive and came back an offered me $2000 "as is"
So broke even!!!

Thanks...dad had a Auto Shop growing up....so kinda born into it....and a big reason I went another direction for a career. I like turning wrenches occasionally....I don't want to "have" to do it everyday. Have plenty of friends that are ASE Mechanics...they love seeing me get my "precious hands" all greasy...lol

When it ran and wasn't on fire.....I absolutely loved my MG.....probably why I kept it for as long as I did.
Rebuilt motor with Piper(?) cam, port matched head/intake, header and dual webber side drafts. ran straight back to ANSA tip....man that thing sounded glorious

Besides the machine work...yes
Also found out yesterday (first real day of "day to day driving") that it's actually not the radiator leaking.....have a coolant bypass heater hose with a split in it.....it'd be easier to replace the radiator....this one is a bear to get to....

Didn't "get it today"....but did get it on the road this past weekend. New to me...2004 Volvo S60R....bought it with a blown headgasket....had head/block decked and pressure checked...went ahead and replaced timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt, tensioners, pulleys, coils packs, wires, plugs, all gaskets (head, intake/exhaust manifolds, etc...) and a bunch of other hoses, vacuum lines, charge pipes replaced with silicone upgrades. Has aftermarket downpipe, stainless exhaust and a very conservative tune....approx. 325hp I'd guess at this point with it hitting about 17lbs of boost.
Needs a new radiator soon....plastic end-tank separates from core under boost...loosing coolant.....may go ahead and upgrade to a Front Mount Intercooler while replacing it.
Paint is excellent...tires nearly new....probably replace rotors and pads soon as well.
Not bad for $1800 invested....and a few weekends of work....was a fun ride into work this morning for sure....has the BEST factory sound system I'm ever heard....Harmon Kardon speakers with alpine amp...(4) 8" woofers (2)6.5" mids (2) 3" mids and (4)1" tweeters....run by a 75watt/ch Alpine amp......Navigation updated with 2016 maps/POI...leather is nearly perfect

I gave my wife some chocolates and a stuffed piece of toast with a tag that reads "I'm toast without you". What great Valentine's day gifts did you guys come up with?
Left the house about 5am but left a Card, Box of Chocolates and a bottle of her favorite local San Sabastian Vinter's Red wine.....put a post-it on the wine "Will You Be My ValenWINE?"
cheesy....yes......brownie points....most definitely

Anythiong with a Cord, we will figure it out later.
Prime Meat of the adventure will a box, lots of Sockets in it, some call it a tube tester and i hereby claim 1st rights to said item.
Yeah...he's going back over today to see if all the equipment is there...said there were a few Oscilloscopes, few "boxes" that looked like Tube Testers and a bunch of other stuff. He's worried she junked it all yesterday.
I told him the same thing....anything with a cord...grab it.

Just tell your Buddy with the goodies the truth.
The stuff is worthless, Promply give him a hundred bucks and tell him bring all of it to your house

Yeah. Going to help him get it all compiled into a spreadsheet listing tube number and manufacturer. Then try to get his head around what he actually has.
Like I said....he has absolutely not a penny into it other than the time/labor to pick it up and catalog it.

Morning guys.....frost on the windshield this morning....yet high of 73 this afternoon....weather actors are stating a 7-8 degree increase per hour
Not much sleep last night....I thought speakers/amps/interconnects etc... could spin me into a whirlwind.....how on earth do guys deal with Tube Amp stuff...buddy came across a large stash of NOS Tubes yesterday...asked me to help see if they were worth anything before hauling off to dump.
Never seen so many different number/letter combinations in my life.....as well as varying opinions on if they are worth anything....lol
I posted a sample over in the Tube section....that was maybe three or four boxes of probably the 10+ he picked up.....hell if it gets me a new TV outta helping him identify and sell what's worth anything....time well spent!
Pretty slack day in the office today....guess I'll keep researching tubes....

Yeah...have no idea what any of it really is...but he's grabbing everything. Said their are also a bunch of tools, tube testing tables, etc....just told him to get it all....if he finds two or three tubes worth something..it's no money out of pocket.

So I get a call from a old friend today....says he was helping a lady clean out her house this weekend as she is moving into a condo. Her husband passed two years ago and she's finally ready to move on.
Anyways....he was a service tech for Sears for like 50 years....and apparently had hoarded tons of stuff....all of which she was sending to the dump....he asked if he could have it...she said sure...just get it out of here.
Below are just a few pics of what he has....I've looked up a few of them and it seems he may have some money here...what do you tube guys see off hand that may be interesting?
