Do any of you kids , want your system ???

I divorced 30 some years ago and my kids have no Idea what I have. So I keep a list in my Documents Case.  Pictures and where they are of items with the values of them.  So they can take those things and do as they please.  Landfill everything else.  LOL  Even things that are rather valueless but has worth to me.  Like my old Simpson multimeters I purchased in the 70's.  I still use them! 

  Nearby Kent State Universirty has a good size student audio club. Gift it to the audio dept. Put a big plack on it with my name and take a big deduction against my estate.. If the school says no way plan B gift it to the 2 goners with the funniest insults by voting. At least you guys know what the heck the stuff is. On second thought I'am taking it all with me.   Beam me Scotty. 

 

Cue up Pink Floyd, Time.  Or the Stones' Time Waits for No One, with Mick Taylor and the metronome. Or Justin Heyward singing just about anything.  Albinoni's Adagio. 

But I digress. . . My youngest daughter would probably be the only taker. She is actually fascinated with turntables and the quest for better sound.  If not her, a   nephew with whom I've spent parts of many visits in record shops.  

The rest of my closest relatives would likely prefer the convenience of streaming and small portable speakers. 

Are you KIDDING!I can't keep them from taking my stuff NOW!
All 4 were raised on great music and great sounding systems. 3 of the 4 are accomplished musicians and love to listen for hours. Vinyl and CDs. I get comments like, "Who gets the Klipsch" at family dinners.My oldest has already pilfered Martin Hogans and Mc stuff. 

There was a member here (blcube) who was a good friend of mine. He had a very nice system and a huge vinyl jazz collection. He passed away a few years ago and I offered to help his wife liquidate the system. I was willing to do all the leg work and post all the ads and make sure she got a fair price. At first she seemed appreciative, but later just disappeared. I called her once more and she just didn’t seem interested in doing anything so I left her alone.

To this day I don’t know what happened to his system or his records. I am pretty sure no one in his family wanted any of it. I think it’s best to have a plan with your significant other in case the worst happens and they are left with no clue about what to do.
