Fat chance Fat Dog!!! You'd have a better chance of me taking you out back and shooting YOU!

Somehow I seem to forget what it is I'm to send...remind me again?
On a serious note, I was getting ready to work on the idler wheel of the cassette deck when the ribbon connector decided it had a hicccup. No power, no signal from the deck. Well, you know what that meant, open the reciever. And as Skip-to My-Lou can tell ya...it's a PITA! There is no real chassis to speak of. It's organized just fine for a unit stuffed with so much in it, it's just that the boards, bottom plate, etc. all tie together to hold it all together. So if you take the top shell off, then the bottom plate, it all now floats precariously. Don't get me wrong, when assembled it's a tank, just a beyotch to disassemble and reverse procedure.
Anyhoo...the ribbon to the deck had a loose connection, not much of a surprise given that the unit is 30 years old and the fact that Sansui had some gear (home/portable) with cold solder joint issues. While I had it out I checked everything else and all is normal again.
Now here is the part that really sucks...I was listening to my Maggie D8643, then switched to the Sharp GX-300. The Sharp was doing fine when all of the sudden I hear excessive static and popping...my Asus TF-700T Transformer Infinity was feeding the tunes via the PowerAmp app so I checked it first. Tablet is fine. Checked the GX-300 on FM...DAMN!!! :annoyed:
The right channel is %$&(#ing up! :annoyed: Oh well...maybe I can get some that boombox repair crack from Jeff (Ghettoboom) and get on a repair spree!

On what? The Sharp GX-300? Because that's where the problem has moved onto now.
I wonder if I have a haunted box that's causing greif to the others?

Ah no crack fo this guy! 
I've been working extra hard lately
to try to forget some of my troubles and help keep my mind off of sad
things.
I also know that within 6-8 weeks I'll be outside working on cars,hiking,biking
and working so there won't be time for this much until late Fall.
So I guess I would've have liked a better reference for me working hard.

No harm intended my freind.
And certainly no one questions your work ethic.
It's more of a reference to how addictive our hobby can be at times. Not crack, but for some of us at least to outsiders just as addictive (or at least my wife seems to think when seeing some collections...notably Radiohiers...) as some drugs.
Thus the term "Boombox Repair Crack..."As I said when you made that post about doing all that work, "Way to go. (Just don't over do it with all that you had going on...)" So maybe I'll reference it more in a "Red Bull"...or DaveChappelle's version "Red Balls".
