With a tip of the hat to @Kyle 's brilliant thread "bad excuses for new equipment" and not because I keep reading the title wrong, I'm sure it will be useful for many of us here to have a handy list of excuses in case we are "put to the question" by - uh - parties unknown, shall we say?
Now this is serious, folks. Nothing like makes a great boat anchor or helps the bulldozers squish down the landfill.
A serious answer would be something like the 18 year old CD player gathering dust in the closet just might have some user serviceable parts that could be used in my Oracle CD player or you can never tell when a conical stylus is useful for records that were gifted to you but really need to be worn out quickly to avoid being played.
Looking forward to filling up my cue-cards for unexpected emergency situations! Thanks, all.
