Re: FS Denon Cassette Receiver DCR-5470

That's a nice old player Ken and if you had been closer I 'd have had it .
FYI the cd 3.5mm socket will accept MP3 player input direct from a Ipod or similar giving you vintage looks with modern operation.
Win /win ....

Captcha security issue.

I'm having a problem signing in as each and every time I try I have to go through a really irritating Captcha process. This entails photographic identification and the ticking of a "I'm not a robot" box.... BC s the only site I have been required to do this. Is it a site issue or somthing ...

Re: 1984 633CSi Rises again!

Mmmm...... A word of caution when using these cheap low cost hand held thermometers . They are sold as a one shot measure everything device but are anything but. Consult the specifications of the unit to determine the FOV ( field of view ) as this will determine the target size and distance from the...

Re: "M" #464 in UK.

I seen that too .
There have been a number of cars on Ebay recently advertised for a fraction of their "true" market value .
That is just a deceitful advert and one that would make me avoid the vendor like dogshit on the pavement .

Converted a cheap eBay temp sensor to proper colors. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-F-Digital-LCD-Thermometer-Temperature-Meter-Gauge-Sensor-Indoor-Outdoor-US/141731838162 Now I need to figure out how to 3d print mount it in the expansion slots. https://i.imgur.com/mMA4hvDl.jpg How did you do that ?

Re: OH NO! California wants to ban gas powered vehicles

I did read that there was considerable power outages due to the over reliance on wind/solar /magic power generation after the State veered away from real world petrochem / nuclear stations in the last couple of decades ?

Re: Cool Sony CD changer ad, featuring an E24

olympia57, I'm just curious, what type of person do you think? A person with a considerably greater disposable income than I had at that time . I believe that in 1981 my E24 cost £23800 . Allowing for inflation that equates to £92000 or $120000 in 2019 . I bought a three bedroom extended property i...

Re: Cool Sony CD changer ad, featuring an E24

That's frighteningly indictative of the type of owner of these cars when new .
All of that technology has been surpassed by a tiny portion of a microchip tucked away deep in the innards of any phone nowadays .

Re: Low Mileage 635 on ''Collecting Cars''

Never have seen or been told of this car in Ireland .
Looks a lovely old thing .
I hope the new owner gets a lot of pleasure from it.
But I do hope that's not what it looks like on the inner wing ....
