simbalion

Sweet! These things will work forever.

Forgot to mention it also has the 4K RAM pack in it.

Happy Birthday Simbalion!

Erm, hear, not here. Ugh, typing faster than my brain can work!

Awesomely fun band!

Yeah, good stuff on that record.

Hey that's cool!

Oh the Mattel game! I had to look it up. I had Football, Basketball, Sub Chase, and Armor Battle...But clearly I missed out on the coolest one of all!

Yes, the Mattel game they made something like three versions of. Pondering if I should chance a tiny bit of control cleaner in the slider as it's stiff. Anyways, got this at the same vintage toy shop that still has the boxed, Mattel Aquarius system for sale for $300. Not just the computer, but the WHOLE outfit in one box.

Bezos is a piece of garbage. Slave driver with a HUGE wallet so no one messes with him.

Their stock is hard to beat...Best thing about Amazon is their stock.

I prefer brick and mortar myself, but there are less stores all the time and the remaining ones are so locked down into the corporate 'safe mode' that I rarely find what I want there anymore.

It's out. Wonder how the picture quality is given it was shot on SD tape. I assume they used the PAL masters as a starting point....

Well, those of us who watched 'Doctor WHO The Lost Episode' had a nice little treat at the end.

There will be more 'lost' episodes coming... although they aren't exactly lost since I've seen them and the material came mostly from personal archives of the viewers and certain such someones...

Use your history to go back to an old page from yesterday or so and you're good

Ho hum deals to me. There was an okay Switch bundle for those that don't have one. I could use a USB-C dock, but everything they had up... too many 1-2 star reviews.

If you need a tablet, the Kindle Fire HD 8 at 50 bucks is a great deal or 30 for the Fire 7 though it's screen is not good. Good for kids though since they're rough on them anyway.

Between this and the recent Switch release, something seems to have shaken loose with DK arcade licensing.

What!! Seriously!? That is awesome.

There's even a Legend of Zelda - Link ornament this year

Should spray all the switches and pots with contact cleaner.

That's what I missed aboout old electronics, you could give them a good wack to fix them.

I actually did the contact cleaner bit. It was the lack of improvement that made me go to the other method.

my Nova had an 8 track in it. it was fun as heck being able to go to Goodwill (or similar) and pick up the tapes. they were pretty darn durable as a medium.. if your player didnt eat them lol

It is so weird that they're going to stop selling CD's in some of the big box stores. CD's are awesome! I even get sad when I see laptops without a CD/DVD burner built in.

Streaming music is great until the Apocalypse happens and you don't have WiFi or 4g anymore.

I did that immediately after the incident happened. Pondering wearing a sock to bed as well.

Good call. Give it some air too. I suggest... Clean it good tomorrow, and make sure it's fully dry before you put on a sock.

Wait, what? You had toenails growing on the heels of your foot? That's weird. Rip 'em out!

What kind of store do you work at Simbalion?

Our Philly cheese steak place decided to close at 4. I was scheduled to come in at 4. So... Day Off YAY! But sorry ya gotta work brother!

I work at a grocery store. Actually, it just seemed like business as always. People just don't care about holidays anymore.

It's like moving. THEN they fix the street.

Yeah... My store is staying open too. A 'Skeleton Crew'... But first time we remained open since I started 4 years ago.

One reason I was so desperate to get out of retail.

And now I know!

the more you know! ...the less you'll like. lol

It's been a long wild, but in my days, we did pot uncontrolled.

There are a lot of low quality people in this world. If it weren't for all the safety features in place, they'd have Darwin'd themselves out of existence.

What kind of Vee Dub?

'72 VW Super Beetle. Project car...

Great! I have a mint boxed example with monitor and printer I need to sell. Hope the prices keep rising as I'm too lazy to list right now. lol

...but I know the average forum user wouldn't even want to pay the shipping on such a thing. Oh the irony.

Well, I'm dealing with reality anymore. It's old tech with old capacitors that can crap out at any time. Two boom boxes that died 15 minutes after getting then home can attest to that!

I have an old GE TV serviceman's box full of tubes. I'll check and get back to you...

I am also going to check the old TV shop in town. Just it's frustrating having to take the TV apart twice to replace one tube, but I can't leave it in parts on the floor!

Just looked and nope, sorry. Can't believe out of this huge service box of mine, don't have *that* tube. lol Did find it at a place I regularly get tubes from though:

Sounds Great! Is that like an Okama Gamesphere? haha I slay me You don't have to be lonely at furries only dot commmmm...

All 3 seasons?

Just whatever episodes are on FETV.

Need a new drive belt?

I think one of the capacitors went. Acts like it's not getting enough power to anything right now.

D'Oh!!

I've got a couple new boomboxes and they all seem to be lacking on the sound end of things. Especially the CD players which have rather low volume.

That Emerson has stereo input jacks on the back for record players and such.

Cool...One at Big Lots! is an Emerson, but yeah it's probably lower end...

I've enjoyed buying modern low-end laptops from eBay, so long as they have no moving parts, everything's been great. A $100 netbook is the best RetroArch device.

Yeah ebay's awesome for modern low end laptops. I just bought a mint Lenovo IdeaPad CB with 4 GB of RAM, Bay Trail, SSD for $46 including shipping. Dirt cheap.

Gotta love the morons asking top dollar for vintage electronics, and they can't even be bothered to dust it off, shine it up a tad, shake out the dead mice.

I stopped listening to local radio years ago. It was pissing me off that the local classic radio station only plays one Who song -- Squeezebox. Ugh. I just listen to podcasts and Pandora.

The music here is fine, but it's like they have the loudness on commercials and news reports up to 11! Makes the speakers on my vintage boombox rattle where the music doesn't.

I loved the Mr T. Vs comics in the pre-YouTube days...

I would certainly pity that fool.

Mine haven't worked for the better part of a decade.

Monitor on my arcade machine died.

Well, Space Invaders Deluxe fouled up before I shut them down, but that's it's usual edge connector issue.
