SONY Open Reel, Meet Mr.Hatchet... Oh the HUMANITY!

[Tom Brennan]

Idiot. I could never bring myself to do that to any piece. I could not watch, I would have nightmares if I did.

I take it you're not in the wrecking or junk businesses.

 

[Tom Brennan]

Sure it does.

Funny Tarior, good one.

Nope, don't have the stomach...I also think there are a lot more constructive things to do between a father and son than wrecking vintage electronics IMHO. :sigh:

I was hoping you would get it without the smiley

It bother me to see stuff like that for two reasons.
1) It's downright wasteful to destroy something that someone could still find useful, and would be very happy to have.
2) There are even more idiots out there who will see this video, the (dim) bulb will light up in their heads and we'll be seeing videos of truly valuable and desirable gear being destroyed.

I'm rather fond of Sony's better R2Rs. Which model was it anyways? I'm afraid to watch. :worried:

TC 277-4

The old mechanical decks like this don't have much monetary value, but they do perform amazingly well when they work, and lots of people have a use for them. A friend had one he wanted to get rid of and I told him it wasn't worth much and I offered to put it on Freecycle for him to give away. I posted it and had at least 20 responses.

That boy will grow up to be a real credit to society.

I've busted PLENTY of **** up in my day-Hell, its FUN...But you'll notice I said "****"... I'd NEVER take a cosmetically great, probably functioning, item like that & willfully destroy it...You just don't DO stuff like that in my book...This sounds awful, but I kinda wish one of the caps they were poppin' w/120 across 'em had blown right into the "stoner" sounding dude's eye, or lip,or somesuch...Hehehehehehehehe....
