For me, it's a conundrum because in this house, if I have no intentions of making it work or it's too far gone to be fixed in some manner, I don't want to own it. I have a total of 21 vintage sets, of which 11 are fully operational and 3 just need some more TLC. Eventually, they'll all work, I figure I can knock off 4 or as much as 6 this winter if I get ambitious enough.
The CTC-25 stares at me quietly from my desk, not knowing its fate. It's made it this long, and I hate to see it go down without a fight. I tend to personify the damn thing and the scene comes to mind where Linus said "it's really not such a bad little tree, Charlie Brown.....all it needs is a little love"
I think that is the right dynamic for the road to a lot of headaches, but I'm prolly gonna take it anyway
