  • Haha! Yeah, maybe its just part of getting older and changing mind set but I've really started to absolutely fucking hate binning things that seems so close to being repaired!

    Dull story but the remote for my pretty wanky high end Canadian hifi amp broke recently. Its almost neo-vintage and the remote clearly has less than $2 worth of electronics in it, local hifi dealer wanted over £100 for a replacement. Cunts.
    Fixed it my self and left it left me with an an enormous sense of well being... Parklife!

    Now keen to try fix fucked any garmins and gadgets etc

  • All yours knock yourself out 👍

  • There's a weird primal satisfaction in fixing things DIY.
    Our washing machine gave the ghost a year ago and repairmen are practically conmen (150,- analysis beg your pardon?!). An hour later with some googling I ordered a heating element to give it a whirl. Three days later it arrived and half an hour spent on my back with my head in the back of a washing machine and the fecker worked again. Felt incredible!
