    check stuff twice

    I had a set of PC audio speakers with sub, my first purchase of that kind, they are pretty old, had been laying in the garage floor in a box, so I was gonna recycle them. I realized one of the speakers could be plugged directly in an 1/8" audio plug, and hey, it had sound. I said hmmm, maybe I will bring in another 1/8 stereo cable and test the whole thing before I threw it in the elecronics recycle box. Son of a gun, the thing worked! I know when I pulled it out it was not working, go figure right?

    So, I cleaned them up a little, and put them back in the box to bring home for a spare set of PC audio speakers, can't throw away if good right? LOL.

    I know they are older than 10 years old, due to the nicotine on them. Well, I cleaned some of that up. I have to look at the brand again.

      I have scratched my head few times in situations just like this. Something wasn't working, I put it away with plans to fix it or move it along. The day I decide to check it one last time before actually doing something with it, well I'll be...

        Vintage Bang and Olufsen Recycle build
        by thehillboys
        Objective:
        Well I am itching for a build and have these lying around and want to do something with them. The surrounds on the drivers are shot, and the crossover parts are 40 years old. I am thinking of reusing the cabinets and building a 3-way or something that will go down fairly low. I will...

        TV mounted too high? Check this company out... Dynamic Mounting
        by boarder1995
        Ok, so we've all seen a TV mounted too high above the fireplace. Whether at a friend's place, neighbor, family, or perhaps even your TV is too high up! My in-laws had this issue when they were considering mounting their TV above the fireplace mantle... it'd have been way too high for comfortable viewing,...

        Is rsp-1098 Worth Twice The Price of rsp-1066?
        by gostan
        The 1098's are now available. Does anybody think that the rsp-1098 is worth twice the price of an rsp-1066. I can purchase a 1066 for about $1300. The 1098 will run more than double that price. I was going to upgrade to a 1066, but I am thinking about waiting things out with my rsx-1055 and going for...

        by oneoldude
        Hi all,

        I need help. I am getting back into building again. But I am not looking for a therapist. At least not yet.

        When I looked at my box full of audio measurement stuff I remembered the pia it is to drag cables and amps and pre-amps around. So I decided to come up with...
