Yes It Does... Well according to The 2nd Half anyway, Made me toss out my full quadraphonic stereo system & large box speakers because in her words "They Look like 1970 all over again" "They sure forkin do Baby & that's why my love for them shall never fail".... 2 weeks later they were out the front for council clean-up (never lasted an hour as the local vultures were circling when she put it out there), Only to be replaced with this hi-tech 5 speaker crappy kenwood / fit it in a suitcase type of crud...2 years later & Now thankfully that system resides in my garage, With Her only input being "Can You Turn it Down a Lil"

Ohh shed is only 6x3, But stereo is starting to play up whilst changing cd's, the twin tape player chewed 1 too many of my cassettes so maybe time to start frolicking on fleBay for some decent sounds, Trouble is it echoes right down the street which is where she can hear it from when returning from the shops......

Nothing like digging up an old thread haha, my old man used to DJ weddings and parties around Sydney back in the very late 70's to the early-mid 80's and had an LX Torana at the time, 173 auto as I was told, until he blew that up and put a wrecker special 202 into it which ended up being a mint engine. That car was stolen from Campbelltown station in 1987 and burnt out sadly. Used to pull the bottom rear seat cushion out to put the speakers in the back and all the other gear in the boot.

 

Still have his mixer too, used to have the speakers and amp, but amp blew up after the gear was dug out of retirement on the afternoon of December 31st, 1999 when I was around 9. Six years later the homebuilt speakers eventually succumbed to garage damp and the boxes just fell apart. Chipboard and blue carpet with aluminium angle trim and black speaker cloth over the fronts. 12" woofer and a horn tweeter in each speaker. Legend Disco Mixer, aussie built, just like the 100w Jands amplifier. Two AGS turntables (one died of wear and tear and other was ripped apart by dad's mates dog) and a Marantz cassette deck for those songs he didn't have in the 3 crates of vinyl. I often point out how I can carry those 3 crates of music and more in my pocket on a thumbdrive, iPod/iPhone or SD card. Nothing has the soul of vinyl though.

Ben23 if you were going to blow up that amp then the last day before the end of the world was the day to do it!

It actually made it a few hours into 2000, probably around 2-3am it popped. Wasn't overdriven, just old as frOck and it had a hard life previously. We all joked that it was Y2K haha. That was an awesome night for a 9 year old. Not actual DJ'ing was done pretty sure dad just ran a line out from the back of the telly to the gear out the back and just played the video hits countdown on channel 10.
