Costliest Brainfart

Yep.

I had one today.

While reorganizing my audio rack, with my TT still pretty on top, I decided I just had to level it just right.  And to make this happen, I decided I just had to place a block of wood under the spikes.  And since the block was fairly thick I just had to keep lifting the front higher and higher.  And higher.  
 

The table slid right off the back and came crashing down onto the floor.  Moerch UP4 arm, bent.  Karat 17d3 stylus, cocked to the side.  The table itself might be salvageable, but I was so disgusted with myself I didn’t bother looking.

A 2K+ brain fart.

Who needs vinyl anyway!

Please list your mishaps if for no other reason than to make me feel a bit better.  😉

OP, wow, really sorry to hear your story. I have done a few things revealing my poor judgement. 
 

Maybe, look at this as an opportunity to rethink all the things you have learned and get a new turntable,

Ok. I think you get a pass on driving into your garage with a bike on the roof.

I bought one and the first time I drove home with it on (no bike). I got to the garage and looked at it and thought, there is no possible way sooner or later I am not going to forget and drive in. It, was an absolute certainty. I thought of mounting a mirror above the garage door.

 

Eventually I did, drive in. But it was really slowly and damage was minimum… to my $5,000 bike. This was 25 years ago. I would have been really sad if I damaged it.
