OT - calling all hipsters - C90 cassette - HK2000

O.K. - I know that most posters here are spade neck beards in disguise. Clearing out a small portion of the loft I came across a Harman Kardon cassette tape deck. A quick punt through eBay suggests that they still sell for a bit and some for surprisingly much. Is this realistic or are eBayers 'avin a larf? The deck is an HK2000 which seems to have reasonable reviews including a posting in Cheers Dave R

I'll toss in a philips tuner head for FM where

(a) the voltage stabilation for the caricap tuning capacaitor was a raw zener diode, one of the best noise sources known to man.

(b) the ocsillator was tuned by a ferrite slug absolutely acting as a magnmetic hum field detector and amplifying it.

More recentkly. Barclays has moved its well oiled and functional stockbroking platform to a new 'smart investor' platform which is so dysfunctional that everyone is saying that the smart investors are all closing thier accounts - or would if they caoul actually access the web site - and moving their business elsewhere.

'Not even alpha' as they say.

I'm sorry "Tjoepstil" , you've got me a bit confused here.

Just recently you've admitted that "Tjoepstil" and "the Natural Philospher" are the same person. You. They're both nyms you use on your two computers "Tjoepstil" on your laptop and "The Natural Philosopher" on your desktop.

The only difference being that you only post as "Tjoepstil" from the laptop in your bedroom.

But just there you referred to "tnp" in the third person, in support of what "The Natural Philospher" had just posted. Can you see ?

Where you posted - "Especially tnp"

As though "tnp" and you are two different people.

Did you get a bit confused and think you were still in the living room posting on the desktop at the same time as you were in the bedroom posting on the laptop ?

By comparing the messages from both, clearly the laptop keyboard is easier to type on, except that it has a broken shift key ...

Not quite true, but the athritis makes it hard to reach that when using the mouse pad.

Nah it can't be anything that simple, must be a giant conspiracy involving a whole network of people for entirely unknown but nonetheless nefarious re asons. Welcome to Michael's World, mind the fairies.
