If you're a GenX like me...I grew up on the stereo. I found a whole SONY system for free on the sidewalk next to a lamp and old chair. Everything worked and it was pretty clean. Now I listen to my music like some people drink wine or smoke a cigar.

Wow, you did a fantastic job of collecting the system and building the unit to house. It all looks great. And... you love RUSH. Liking your TV and the live RUSH concert. Well done.

I have watched Sony tape deck belt replacement videos on KZbin before. Your tape deck is not that difficult to do. Isopropyl alcohol will clean all the sticky, gooey old belt mess completely off. Once you’ve done one side, the other side will go a lot faster. Best of luck with it. Also, I don’t know what gauge speaker wire you used, but 14 gauge will give you noticeable bass improvement. My speakers sounded so much better with heavier gauge wire.

Badass

The stereo systems of old are better than the sound bar and the bluetooth speaker. I have a top loadint Technics CD changer, mechanism needs adjusting though

Looks very similar. I'm loving this receiver. It's still chugging along flawlessly with daily use.

Just one comment. It's Impedance. It isn't pronounced the same as impotence. Impedance is an electrical term. Impotence is a condition that hopefully Viagra will fix for you!

[@NonsensicalNation]

Who are you calling impedance?!
