C'mon now. Boobs are great, but dammit I won't stand by and not say that a nice fine ass will beat that any day.

A couple of weeks ago I was taking a stroll through a local “goodwill” type place on my lunch break looking at random trinkets. Sometimes I even find clothes good enough to wear, like an official Race Toyota Pit Crew T, or something very similar to it… anyway for 5 bucks who gives a fuck.

In the electronics section I stumble on to this nice looking cassette/radio/receiver unit, if I was to guess I’d say it was a mid-80s unit. I started playing with its buttons and switches and OMG MY FINGERS STARTED TO ORGASM.

The large, 2” in diameter tuner knob was heavy and had no play what so ever, it rotated smoothly with surgeon-like precision that I think most people have long since forget about. I have no doubt that should 3 stations occupy a single digit of a waveband that this unit would be able to split the signal with ease.

The volume, bass, treble and balance knobs all had a very fine notchiness in them while allowing full rotation, giving you a very satisfactory feeling of “getting it just right.”
The cassette buttons and loading door felt heavy, like they were made from gold, and had this calming like quality of smooth operation like they each had their own little, Mercedes-quality damper systems hidden within. When you press the eject button, the loading door opens like that of the spaceship in A Close Encounter of the Third Kind. Like a draw-bridge being diligently lowered in quick but controlled pace by a thousand servants all worshiping the god of tranquility.

It was an amazing experience… and to think that everyone had such an opportunity to actually enjoy using a device as simple as a radio receiver.

So fuck you, modern manufacturers. They got it right decades ago, why did you go ahead and fuck it all up?

Much proud

@7thgear, I know what you mean. Things that were built a long time ago were actually built very damn well compared to today's standards. Better craftsmanship to be precise.

I still get asked to go check out old furniture or fixtures at antique parlors, shops, or warehouses for home projects or to see if retrofitting/modifying is possible rather than buy something new at the big chained super low price rate furniture stores.

And lmao @sklimo

Thats what I originally thought as well, I dont know why he followed me-Probably because I liked the photos of his car.

But enough of the seriousness
random thought -I wish I found this at my local goodwill!

That post was in response to this (making fun of it obviously)

"My friend found this steal of a deal at a yard sale for 10$...I think someone is going to be mad when they see their PS2 was sold..."

Also, this guy found a NES game that was heavier than the rest at a thrift store.
I need to start going to thrift stores more often
