A long time friend and customer asked me if I had any stereos with preamps and I said sure I do. Sold him a set of Sony shelf speakers, and a vintage audio amplifier both a quartz tuner. Sounds pretty darn good to me

Working on a fender PA system pretty much a mobile DJ unit if you will It's actually quite impressive for what it packs all together but the boards are extremely delicate and the workmanship done at the factory is actually really crappy and I'm highly surprised it being a fender product. On some of the cable connectors technician if you want to call it that, decided to dump a bunch of hot glue over the two connections since their soldering skills were substandard. Hoping to have this back to the customer for this evening cuz he has a championship celebration for his co-ed softball team

Somebody's Super Nintendo Is getting new capacitors today. Makes me feel good when it's a system that I worked on previously and it just needs some maintenance after years of play but is still running strong.

Adding raw steel fenders and a tail light with built in turn signals to my custom Trailmaster Hurricane 200X mini bike. If you dig this style of raw steel fender, check out cause they have them. I had to drill a third hole behind the tail light mount so I could pass the wiring through the fender underneath to my wiring harness that I'm making. It even has a license plate amount on the tail light assembly in case you want to make it street legal

This is a water resistant k&n style air filter from VMC Chinese Parts. it's a little bit of a hassle to take apart oil and do any type of maintenance but I could totally see this working for its intended purpose. It's going on my custom Trail Master Hurricane 200X.
