I told him that I'd take all of them that he wanted to give me and out of all the ones I fixed that came from there, nothing came back to bite me.

I stopped having anything to do with him when he told someone, "don't take your stereo to him - all he knows how to fix is all that old tube shit that ought to be thrown away." I found that comment to be very insulting, seeing as how I was fixing a good bit of the SOLID STATE stuff that he had written off.
Well..in THAT case...I guess all of that "old shit" as in old paintings, statues, recordings, and other such "JUNK" (in MY opinion), ought to be "thrown away" too...
