Yeah, my new policy now. The console was one i had picked up for $5 dead. Fixed it and used a few times but needed some cabinet work and a bit of tweaking but that's all gone now. I noticed the ad was gone today. Probably picked by a scrapper for the copper.

Years ago, I gave a friend an Elac-Miracord 40A turntable so that he'd have a good turntable to play his newly obtained LP collection that he got from the local country station that was selling their records. About a year later, he told me that he sold it at a yard sale for $3 because he found a newer plastic Pioneer turntable and "newer is better." I gave it to him to do as he pleased with; but, I would have felt a lot better about it had he at least offered it back to me before selling it for $3 at a yard sale. I would have gladly paid him for it. After that, I never offered him any more stereo equipment - let him use his "newer is better" plastic junk.
