Apart from the fact that Toni's awesome birthday present idea is now void, bless her, we thought that it would be cool to go and look.
Now I don't know if you ever worry about what you will get when family say 'no need to buy one, I have one for you', but I was this morning. Toni's uncle said that the hifi only has one working channel and no speakers. But being the budding tech nerd that I am I thought this could be a fun little fixer upper project. Instead this is what I get...
OH MY WORD!!!!! You see that sign for Bang & Oluffsen right? And the Marantz hifi right? I nearly wet myself with excitement when I saw it. Not only that but I have taken it home and apart from an adaptor I had to go to town for (weird Danish music companies) the whole thing is in 100% working condition. I mean not a single broken part whatsoever! All I did was salvage some temporary speakers from a stereo that I currently own and Bob's your uncle my music system is looking snazzy.
Oh, and you think things couldn't get any better, well. Toni's mum has convinced her dad to give us their entire record collection...and Toni's uncle threw in a big pile for good measure when we took the sound system...how cool are these people!
