So my school just got a giant new building and the orchestra, and band got new rooms, because of this the drafting/engineering room is in the old choir room and the choir is in the old band room. Anyway in the old choir room there was a whole audio setup left over, the teacher didnt transfer it over to his new room because it consisted of two tape decks, a Nakamichi reciever and a Cd player. So im in engineering drafting class and i see it all sitting there not being used by the drafting teacher. So i ask "Hey can I have all that stuff if you guys dont need it?" I wouldnt've asked if it was more modern stuff but tape decks is my kinda stuff if you havent read that in other threads of mine. It took two days of negotiating with the school tech office and we compromised on me not getting that really nice Nakamichi reciever (it was probably worth 200$). but today i went down to the room and ripped out all the equipment and wiring and threw it in my camry, i got home and realized that both tape decks dont work, the motors dont even turn. they probably would still work if they werent controlled electronically by buttons that dont actually do anything, just tell the internal computer what to tell the machine to do. the older ones are more simple and thereby more reliable. Anyway the Cd player works and the best part isnt that, I got a mess of wires with all sorts of routing boxes attached and mic line cables
here are pics of all the stuff (not my pics)
