You are aware that you can use them for 2 channel analog patch cables just leave the third cable dangling in space or cut it off. If they're quality patch cords then there is no reason not to use them unless you have OCD and can not tolerate that sort of thing.I posted several weeks ago about a set of Ultralink AV cables I found at a local thrift store- went back there today and they had a set of 13ft Ultralink Mach 1 component video cables for $5. I didn't buy them because I have no use for component cables, however I now wonder if these would make a good alternative for the center and surround audio channels of a 7.1 direct input signal? If so I will go back and grab them as I could use a set for that purpose.

No, it would not.My main concern was more whether using video cables for audio purposes would compromise anything.
No, it would not.
Lps like this are never seen around here anymore.bobsvinyl and I made our weekly rounds today. When I was away last week, Bob was told there was a new batch of records hitting the bins. He checked multiple times including yesterday but nothing had appeared. However, today when we arrived it was game on, 21 albums @ $2 apiece. I left some behind due to condition and titles but I could have harvested at least 10 more. Bob didn't score as many but I'm sure will be posting his finds from GW as well as Savers.

Non audio find today. Carter Bros. "The Lounger" mid century swivel scoop chair.. Its in pretty good condition.
Thanks for the heads up. I just googled how to soften old vinyl, and found a post that describes using goop hand cleaner.. I think im going to give that a try.FYI on old vinyl, it may suddenly split. I've had a few estate sale buys of mint barstools, chairs, etc. that came from long unused rooms. They looked absolutely perfect until one day sitting down and they split. Apparently the vinyl has hardened up over time. When it starts getting sat upon again it no longer has any give. I found some info on how to reduce this on a car restoration forum as the same thing happens on upholstery. There are treatments that can be applied to soften it back up. I've not tried that however and don't know how well it would work on furniture. That is a great piece though and better to know about that issue before.

Very cool. Sounds like they are into freestyle/flatland riding vs. race. I would highly encourage you to invest in a good Park bike stand - it makes wrenching a lot easier. If you do garage sales or thrift stores, definitely upgrade your kids!!! Like audio and probably even moreso, there are still a ton of good buys out there - especially if you aren't into the old/mid school stuff. You know, kids no longer into it or move away and parents just want garage space back - that sorta thing.11 year old rides a cheap 20" mongoose. I told him if he gets into it we will upgrade. He just likes cruising around a looking cool. My 6 year old has a trek and he is already standing up on the tube and getting the courage up to ramp.
I am a big noob in the BMX world but already know where i am going to set up the work bench. Researching and planning now. Mostly for the kids but i want something to play on as well.
Great tips. Thanks. Something that the boys and i can do together is a good thing. 11 year old is into the workshop idea - we also have a mini bike that needs work- and been researching frames etc. all week. Glad he asked me if i wanted to take his bike for a spin.Very cool. Sounds like they are into freestyle/flatland riding vs. race.
