Everyone on my floor is freaking out because a man, woman and child were knocking on everyone's door last night at 3:00am. My wife just came from the neighbor's who showed her the video. I was up listing records on eBay and listening to toons at 3:00am, didn't hear a thing.

Preserving the past and the environment by keeping it out of the landfill and not requiring something new be manufactured and transported from the other side of the planet.
Plus that vintage piece will likely last exponentially longer than similarly priced modern equipment which would end up in the landfill and require a replacement...

Get outta here..."parking yards"!? 
If you get the chance, take in "The Last Full Measure". It's a Vietnam War (Conflict) offering that doesn't need either the Metric or Empirical systems to share a degree of distance. It's from the Aussie POV, based to a degree of actual happenings in that affair.
