Today we fix, tweak, craft, rewire, scrounge, and sometimes talk to sets that were never reasonably expected to last 50 plus years.

We are Jug Heads! It's what we do.
Incidentally, having attempted to watch both a CTC-25 and a CTC-36 on a regular basis, I now understand your username.

I might change MINE to 5GH8cowboy
