Real DIY'ers don't tape! They WELD! Same for soldering!

Then you loose the opportunity to choose between the light and dark sides of the Force.

Huh

Gaffer tape has a light and a dark side.
And it holds the world together.

 

[13engrsapper]

Yes it does. It's much like "the force"

Hmmm, turns out it was just upside down, and needed the power supply recapped. I will have to remember that for next time.

I need to find out why it’s been eating tapes, but looks like I should work on the Front Panel mod first? Affects resale the most I guess.

It's the standard diet for tape machines.

, but looks like I should work on the Front Panel mod first? Affects resale the most I guess.

Find buyers in the southern hemisphere.

I used to have one of those. It worked if I turned the entire rack upside down. Only problem is it was in a rack with delays and reverbs and they all started sounding weird. Turns out I had to reverse the polarity on all the units to make them sound right otherwise all there reverbs went backwards and all the repeats from the delays fell out. If you think chewing gum in hair is hard to get out, try digging those repeats out of the carpet.

I learned my lesson, I'll NEVER use another piece of gear made for the Southern Hemisphere!

We started as a guitar techs for live bands, me for the Minneapolis based Gear Daddies, my biz partner with
Shootyz Groove and They Might Be Giants, and we both worked in video production/rental - those worlds revolve around good gaff tape.

Gaff tape is the only great invention to come out of the 20th century. The internet, vaccines, and The Clapper are all distant seconds.

It has won Wars.
It has built Structures.
It has hung Art.

It may exist as the only proof of Magic.


Sorry, what were we talking about again?
