It belonged to my father-in-law. I asked him how much he'd take for it. He said I could just have it. It was pretty dusty and the hinge was sticking. I put a little bit of lube on the hinge and lid arm. Now it pops open just fine. It takes 9 volts to drive this bad boy. This is from a time that CDs were genuinely cool, new, and exiting.
Manufactured April 1990. This thing is a full 2 years older than me.
I'm listening to Blue Weekend at the moment. Incredible album. Ellie Rowsell has a beautiful voice. Here's my favorite song from it played live.
and Lots Of Jumpers, heh
