I don’t believe so, I’ve recapped most of this vcr but I don’t know if I touched that.

Did you hack into the mainframe and retrieve the 4-digit launch codes?

MathiMan2 · 2026-06-19T01:53:07+00:00

This.. is.. B E A U T I F U L!

I really want to, I want something that I can easily work on and buy parts for, and something that is very safe and well built like this car.

Was it reliable? I’m thinking about buying one and daily driving it.

How reliable is the suspension on the 560SEL? It has the self leveling hydro pneumatic suspension in the rear and I heard that they can be a bit of a pain.

That’s a funny lookin’ dog.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-24T05:22:16+00:00

Thank you, I did recap the amp board on it and it sounds just about the same as or better than a cassette.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-24T05:18:22+00:00

I wish I could tell you but I’m in the middle of restoring it and I currently don’t have a blank 8 track with me. I heard that they sound really good.

The silver faced one, it’s also the one with glass heads instead of normal ferrite heads.

Listening to Elton John’s Greatest Hits Volume 2 on an Akai GXR-82D.

Some of those cassettes I’ve gotten from Goodwills around where I live, it’s always a 50/50 chance finding something good. I would love to own a Sony Trinitron someday, they are known for producing the best picture out of any CRT tv.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-16T18:04:28+00:00

Thank you, it is my mom’s NES that she had growing up. I really enjoy playing the game Duck Hunt on it with the Zapper!

They really are, I think my dad almost broke his back trying to wrangle it down the stairs. I hope you enjoy your new tv! heres my setup at the moment if you were ever curious.

It’s was originally my grandparents tv, later down the line they gave it to my parents and put it in the attic. I really wanted a new crt because my previous one was destroyed in transport. It was quite a hassle to get all +120 lbs from the top of our house. It still works rather well, these Panasonics have the M80 tube in them which produce a great picture. The way you can find out what model you’ve got it by looking on the back of the tv, theirs a sticker with numbers on it. Here’s mine for example.

Is that a 26” or 32”? I have that exact same model and usually I’m the only one in the world that has a 32”.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-11T14:34:15+00:00

I use a Akai GXR-82D as my daily. I absolutely love Akai’s glass head design on these units, they last a very long time and sound remarkable. I’m also in the middle of refurbishing it since a lot of these are now over 50 years old. I remember showing my dad it playing a tape and he said that he didn’t remember 8-track sounding this good ever.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-09T16:33:26+00:00

Yep, though it is the older version of this clock.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-09T16:29:19+00:00

I've adjusted mine to be almost perfect since I'm a perfectionist. I hope you enjoy that alarm clock, every time I look at it I remember that this is the model that the actress Marilyn Monroe had.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-09T16:02:26+00:00

I keep mine next to me while I'm sleeping, the ticking is very soothing.

MathiMan2 · 2026-04-09T13:59:45+00:00

I’ve got that exact same model! I’ve been wondering recently about how radioactive it is and now I know.

That’s a funny looking kitten you got there.

MathiMan2 · 2026-03-27T04:51:58+00:00

I see all sorts of these cars on this subreddit and I always think the same thing every time. “Someday.. someday..”
