rebuilding a pair of V72's. finally in a position to do so (retired). doing new power supply G10 boards as an upgrade to brittle phenolic.

There's gotta be plenty on AliExpress, but from reputable sources, you can look for Bungard stuff.

yup, we used the Bungard hardware for our pcb-milling system also

Thank You! got some coming in from evilbay. There is a nice assortment pack sold from China, but containers are taking a long time right now.

Gold watch i can not show you.

Footprint on my behind i can not show you.

But i did buy a Lexicon PCM 60 and a Bridgestone MB-2 mountain bike, jus sayin...

JBL Flip 4 on the MB, with U-47 shock mount, yes those are Kraft Parmesan cheese lids, 3/16" USMC shock cord, quick release made from flashlight holder for easy charging, Clears the bike path of all pedestrians and their animals. And keeps the mountain lions away at night when i play Ranchero music full blast. Los Alegres de Teran.

It's a nice thought, imagining you with more time to play/experiment. Happy retirement!
