    Glad I wasn't the only one noticing the vibe being off. Lots of off topic comments/posts (more so than usual at least) and much fewer comments on posts.

    A lot of it felt either bot-ish or facebook-level user-who-doesn't-quite-understand-how-things-worki-ish. I'm guessing it's the stuff that normally gets buried by higher quality content or that mods normally remove. I doubt it's Reddit bots but rather spam/repost bots that are still active. They've been everywhere lately.

    Done Recently:

    • fixed a turntable that wouldn't spin (still needs a replacement rubber idler but it's not a popular brand so finding one is difficult) and replaced the needle wiring.

    • replaced integrated controller for Magnavox Odyssey II

    • replaced belts on CD-i disk opener

    • refurbed some old O-guage track (still needs testing)

    To do:

    • replace some buttons on an AKIA reciever

    • diganose and repair old Lionel loco that doesn't run or produce smoke.

    • fabricate a disk try for a CD-i and eject lever for a CED player via 3D printing. They're a lot more complex than I anticipated so the work is going slowly.

    • recap stereo console
