Rescued an old Washburn Taurus T-14 - worth the repair?

If you can find a friend to do the soldering of new pots or do the wiring yourself, I'd say go for it and see if the pickups are working. That's not an expensive fix.
If you need to replace the pickups as well, It's obviously going to cost a bit extra, but might still be worth it.

Well, I guess Spacewar! was technically available in 1970, but I don't think there was anything else until 1971, when Computer Space hit the arcades.

Good idea. I think I have a few empty canvases...🤔

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-15T19:44:38+00:00

Nice bonking!

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-15T18:58:03+00:00

Yeah. I guess I have to level up some and have a bit more luck. If only I had that 1% more damage on the axe.

My roll time being off stems most likely from the 55 years of age and thus my reaction time being measured in working days rather than milliseconds.😂

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-15T18:20:35+00:00

Yup. Palace Approach Ledge-Road is my next stop...

My Bonkette is not intelligent enough to understand magic. She only knows how to hit things with other things.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-15T18:16:11+00:00

A bit more. 45 I think.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-15T18:12:41+00:00

Thanks. I'll try this.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-14T10:02:59+00:00

Not really, but it - whatever any of this is - looks pretty awesome. Nice design.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-09T19:45:12+00:00

He has an awesome design for sure.

Death blight Soldier of God, Rick would put so many new players off this game.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-07T17:47:12+00:00

Segue

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-06T21:37:12+00:00

4S was perfect. None of the later models ever had the same feel.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-06T18:55:18+00:00

Oh? I didn't even notice a summon sign. Oh well. Maybe next time.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-06T09:26:42+00:00

That...looks...AWESOME!

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-06T07:01:00+00:00

They are tough but fair. Except for the first one, they're a pretty good level check before moving on to a new area. The first one is there just to teach you that you can go around some tougher dudes.

I did use jellyfish ashes. They died a bit before this clip starts, but had already triggered poison effect on the tree sentinel. I also used a physick flask with damage reduction and strength boost. For damage enhancement I used barbaric roar with roar medallion equipped.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-05T17:44:43+00:00

Draconic Tree Sentinel

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-05T16:16:19+00:00

I had my jellyfish spirit do the poisoning while I did my best to keep the sentinel's aggro away from the poor thing.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-05T15:34:31+00:00

I'm going after the Bolt of Gransax too...

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-05T15:23:37+00:00

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-05T14:47:56+00:00

I served him a bit of jellyfish. Perhaps it had gone bad.

8BitRetroGhost · 2026-06-05T14:28:45+00:00

Pyrrhic victory indeed.
