My name is Rob.... I'm an audioholic for sure. There is no hope for me now. I bring home all the unwanted vintage stuff I can find, and now my place is a mess. I was into the the electronic stuff as a kid, but chose a more industrial/scientific path for work. I am 38 and currently working as a lab supervisor for one of the largest manufacturers in the world. It is a contract job, so I don't make the money other people do in the line of work I do, but my various job skills and experience make me a good fit for the job, as it requires a lot of broad skills to make the lab function. I enjoy it immensely
I was referred to this site by Mitsuman, one of my suppliers. He is a great dude and somehow he took a liking to me from the moment we met. Since then I've met a handful of midwest AKer's, all of whom I hope to see again soon.
I was always a fan of the 70's build quality, and just a year ago figured out that these units are still out there, going strong thirty years later. So now I want to learn how to repair these bastions of innovation an quality. Thanks to AK, I've learned alot and actually have helped out a member or two, but not giving anywhere near to them as they have given me. Since joining AK, I have set up system for my GF, both of her children, and soon her eldest brother. And my personal systems are much improved as well.
I also collect Harvey Bros/Warner brothers glasses offered by the fast food restaurants from the seventies (PEPSI). They still hold up after all these years and l admire the quality of the applique and youthfulness of this hobby.
I also collect real parts off of NASCAR cars. Kids just are in awe that I have tires and front clips and such off of these cars. Adults think I'm just plain crazy.
