It's October I want to hear horror stories about equipment.


What happens when good equipment goes bad? Are you the kind of person that can't leave well enough alone? Did you hear the one about the wife that shot the McIntosh? My mother sold my original Beatles albums at a garage sale for $1.00!!! Never mind about U.P.S. we all know about those clowns.

Many moons ago, I sold Bang & Olufsen gear. A week after a
client purchased a $1200 cassette deck (1982 dollars!),
he returned, deck in hand, wearing one of the more pitiful, pained expressions I've witnessed. Alarmed at such high-end piece coming back in the door, I instantly asked why.
He simply placed the unit on the counter, and pushed the eject button. The lid very slowly opened and oozed out a
gooey pudding like substance. He then mumbled painfully that his 3 year old son managed to compact an entire
Chiquita banana into the transport. B & O's repair estimate, "A bunch". Danish humor I guess.
