What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

Was posting the other day about "surprises" on that non profit site. I tend to look at stuff that is different or that I think are out of the norm. Saw these and made me curious. Look on discogs....most people would just go right by them...


I have her picture disc of her 1st album.
 
i understand that **** happens and a pad is going to blow out here and there but some people should not solder.

Bro one of those joints looks like they didn’t even try lol

I recently found a bunch of vintage solder from the 60s and 70s that belonged to an old TV repair shop. Chem-e-con or something. I’ve had them for decades, ran out of a spool a few week ago and needed to find my stash of solder. We cleaned out the little ADU out back and I found them in a box from the move.
 
i'm looking online to try to track down these elna yellow/gold bi polar caps. i've never seen them. the only place that i can find pics of ebay/aliexpress/shopee and amazon.

that does not give me much confidence that they are real.

ffs. i was going to hopefully try to sell this unit cheap cheap but now i have to spend money on it because i can not knowingly and in good faith send **** like this out and i sure af don't want my name related to something like this.

and i have to wait until i put a mouser order in and i am going to have to order 4 more adapters and HOPE that i can still find the vishays that i used.

this bullspit just added $100 to the price
