My gift came from Lithuania to Greece.
I got a die-hard regulator with filter for my 30 years old Air-compressor.
Cheap Chinese and even supposedly American made regulators with plastic adjusting knob, them all was getting damaged in just few months of operation.
I had to select a model from the past decade, back then even things made in Japan, them was somewhat more robust than what is circulating today.

I got two new CDs from Zachary Lucky and another from Nathan Edwards. They've been on continuous play while I'm working.

Im sorry your tapes werent well buddy.......nigelwright7557 said:Spent many a happy hour rewinding on tape that had come out.
Spent many a happy hour setting the tape head height for different tapes.
Great sound though when it worked.
Mine is a panasonic RS-808 (A recorder also)
Many tapes WERE NOT TAKEN CARE OF and suffered... I bought this one ON EBAY and thankfully it was very well taken care of 🙂tubelab.com said:You want us to believe that you have an 8 track tape that has survived since the 70's?
Ya cant do anything about how OTHER PEOPLE treat this stuff... All you can do IS MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF IT ONCE YA GET IT!! (Most people dont value this beautiful analogue media)

It might have been the player.
It was just a cheap in car player.
The tape would play fine then it would suddenly sound odd as the tape pulled out. I would turn it off quickly and pull the tape out slowly and carefully so I didn't damage the unwound tape.

New Season. Have you heard his Stephen Foster release?

Among other things I got a load of lip from an ex-neighbour's wife;
.......soft, warm, moist, and blood stirring!

I got a gift card to a local bookstore for Christmas. Today I used part of that card to buy Alt J's An Awesome Wave on Vinyl.......now if I can only find my phono stage.
I lived in Miami Florida.....the tapes lived in the car......they lived for 6 months to a year. Some of the house branded generic tapes we sold (Olson Electronics) died rather quickly. I had an Akai 808D and made my own tapes. Many of the prerecorded record label branded tapes were the last to die. I did replace the metallic splice in a few, but once the graphite lubricant on the back side of the tape has worn off, the tape is doomed. A 2 hour commute 6 days a week will wear out some tapes!

We stopped "gifting" on the 25th about a decade ago, but the best present we could have is a week long visit from our daughter and son in law up from Bermuda. First time we've had all four of us (+1) for dinner since 2006. Wasn't even a tofu turkey this time - and yes that was as bad as it sounds.
I got an unexpected trip to Cooba. Ill report back weather its a favorite. These types of things can end disastrous with the company I keep lol.
