@lewm The term used in the Old Country referring to a good outcome from tweaking and tinkering is well-fettled. e.g. 'I have a well-fettled LP12.'

#3 Someone who fiddles or tinkers with things

@daveyf  Yup. There are so many wealthy folks nowadays with open checkbooks and not a care in the world willing to pay for high-priced toys. 

It's the value of materials over the obvious extortion that bugs me. I've been quoted $800 to have a one-off block of Panzerholz, a CAD and a CNC waterjet plinth built for a Garrard 401.

There’s a scene in the TV series, Making Anna where a Russian oligarch pours a coke into a glass of ($3000/bottle) wine. His point was to shove his unflinching wealth into the face of the proletariat waiter. That is what that banana junk was–a spit in the eye of the waged. Same with the BadRock.

Remember, someone paid $1M for a banana attached to a wall with a piece of tape...everything is all relevant to your income.
