My Luxman cassette deck is on the fritz. These things happen with 35+ years-old electronics. I’ll have to figure out if it can be repaired, or if it’ll need to be replaced. Until then, I’ll be “pressing pause” on cassette dubs.
I leave you today with photos of some odds and ends from the Box Of Important CD’s[sic]. A few others fell out of various crates. I’ve redacted any personal information. Solid, Jackson
