telepatu Posted February 5 Posted February 5 There I was slowly building the Minicraft C-97 while waiting for the paint to dry on the An-225.. trying to test fit the wings 😖 There must be another kit floating around the world that has two starboard wings, right? If you happen to read this, please msg me 👋 Also the canopy seems more like a canopy from a C-54, definitely not a C-97! 🙃 1 4 3

Although technically they never left the bench and were just put to one side but I digress. You ought to run a competition on the exact number of stalled projects in the picture, just think it of keeping the grey cells moving for us greys……. 3

That is the modelling version of « where is Charlie ? ». Only a lot more difficult 😂 … Hubert 1 4
FullArmor Posted February 7 Posted February 7 CD tray not opening on yamaha cd-s300😡. I will try to apply more crease if is solves this... 3
HubertB Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I have a different issue on my Marantz CD player. The display is not showing anything anymore. Got it repaired, but this is a spare part that is not followed anymore by Marantz … At least, it still can read the CDs … This is where I see I am getting old … as my domestic applances 😂🤣 Hubert 1 3

You just pull up the dampened starship Enterprise lid and insert the CD. It still sounds veeeery good. Goodluck with you unblocking your tray. Cheers Rob 3

Old belt was dry and had kink in it. Got it working. New belt was not ideal shape. Old square and new flat belt. 4
Bomber_County Posted February 7 Posted February 7 My Marantz CD player also which on the blink, it wouldn’t eject CD’s ie the tray activate broke. The mechanism had literally crumbled to an amoral blob. It’s now a matter of stopping the CD and then manually opening the tray with a tab attached to the mechanism. The unit does date from 1987-88…. 1
BlrwestSiR Posted February 7 Posted February 7 My TEAC CD player tray opens but then immediately closes. So you have to be quick in swapping out CDs. The Sony Minidisc player has a missing power button so it's just on all the time. At least there's nothing wrong with the Pioneer laserdisc player. Hope I haven't jinxed it. 1

HubertB Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Hey guys, do you realise this is an exchange of old people ? And I’m sure all these CD Players can only read old-style analogic CDs 🤣😂🤣 … Today’s youth with MP4 (not even MP3) and streaming are looking at us like dinosaurs (but then they are also dreaming of a vynil discs player ) Hubert 6

I´m one of these, at least concerning your description, albeit turning 60 this year. I always had turntables around me. Now there are only two in the house and the depicted modified Transrotor is my main player for my huge vinyl collection as the everyday player. With a better tonearm now. The possibilities to optimize are equal to what you can do to a basic kit in modelling, sheer endless. Cheers Rob 6
Martinnfb Posted February 7 Author Posted February 7 I would love to have your toys guys, but with my hearing loss ? probably just a waste of money 3

ScottsGT Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Interesting…..at 62 yo, I’ve never personally owned a turntable nor have I ever purchased a vinyl album. Younger years I was into cars and cars came with cassette tape decks and AM/FM radios. Hell, my first car only had an AM radio. I started driving too late to get in on the 8 track fun. My brother had a huge collection of those. By the time I had any desire to listen to music in the home, I already had an extensive CD collection. Now my youngest son has commandeered the CD collection since all we use is Spotify. My 2015 Mustang came with a CD player. I have never used it. Funny thing though, I use to own the very first automotive CD player Sony made. Man, that thing skipped at the thought of hitting a tiny pothole in the road. Hell, I think rain hitting the car would make it skip. 5
Bomber_County Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Always admired 8 track 4 channel systems but when I got my first car (1977) car radio cassette players were on the market. Cost me an arm and a leg it was a PYE / Philips system ( UkK - Dutch) ……. 3
Martinnfb Posted February 8 Author Posted February 8 If it happens once, it’s a mistake. If it happens twice it’s a very flat learning curve. This should not take this long anyway. Three days of filling sanding and rescribing. Jeeez 6
Martinnfb Posted February 8 Author Posted February 8 One step ahead of, two steps back. The backing is glued in place to support the filler and future dzus fasteners. 5
Bomber_County Posted February 13 Posted February 13 With the last of my four current builds requiring a couple of hours more weathering ( stuff needed to dry first) it was time for bench and tool spring clean ………...I know, tidy bench, tidy mind…… 2
ScottsGT Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I’m calling this part done for now. Still needs decals, but I’ll do that once I build the launcher and trailer. 9
