Quote from: HPS_250 on November 03, 2020, 08:20:12 PM Right now I just collect lighting (lamps, gear and fixtures), but it’s possible that I will start collecting switches soon because I have some interest in them. Will you start collecting vintage switches?

Quote from: joseph_125 on November 03, 2020, 11:34:33 PM Interesting, I have a lot of cassette tapes and even a few 7" 1/4" reel to reel tapes (but no player). I kept the VHS tapes and VCR I used when I was a kid but I don't really collect those. Even still have some old blanks from when I used to tape shows on TV to watch later. Is your VCR one of the old ones that has latching buttons (like a cassette deck) or a newer one with full logic control (The tape is picked up by a motor and the motor does all of the work)?

Quote from: joseph_125 on November 04, 2020, 01:04:56 PM Full logic control. I've seen the old style VCRs with manual transport controls but never actually used one before. Ironically most of my cassette decks have manual controls, I only have one that has full logic controls. I think the full logic control was more common on VCRs than manual controls, but the reverse seems to be true with cassette decks. The only full logic cassette deck I have is an OEM 2002 Subaru Outback car radio that my dad replaced in 2008.

I have a Denon DRW-585 dual cassette deck in my current audio setup. I rescued most of the equipment from my mother's house after she died in January.

I collect diecast model cars in 1:18 and 1:24 scale. I’ve been collecting them for a lot longer than I’ve been collecting lights. Lately, I’ve been slowing down a bit with collecting model cars, but I do have a really cool one on the way in the mail. I got a 2006 Subaru WRX STI 1:18 scale model from eBay. It’s a really rare model and one of my favorite Subarus. Stay tuned for pictures

I might actually get a Denon DRW-585 cassette deck to record tapes and it will go with my Kenwood VR-804 reciever and Samsung DVD-S221 CD/DVD/MP3 player.
