Have "Breaking Away" on tape but can't seem to find a sensibly priced copy on DVD or Blu-ray. View attachment 42623 Click to expand... Whoa! $149?? I bought my Breaking Away blu ray for $9.99 way back.

Have you tried a different laptop charger? How do you know the power port is the problem? If it is only the physical connection that is the problem, it should not be too expensive nor difficult to replace the terminals. Of course, jobs like these are best done for yourself, where you are only out a few bucks for the parts and maybe 1 hour of time. And, of course the initial cost for tools, or maybe find a friend or a local co-op that will let you borrow the tools (and maybe teach you how to do the repair).

There is various that I go to. A good one is also American Thrift not sure if they are everywhere though. They like others have great stuff but you got to go early before the vultures come in.

Cos Audioholic Samurai Feb 2, 2021 #7,195 Tired of wearing a headset on Zoom Calls, so upgraded my Mic Blue Yeti Pro X Went with this model because it upgrades to 24bit. Just going to use for voice and it fits the bill. Boom Arm and filters coming tomorrow.

NINaudio Audioholic Samurai Feb 5, 2021 #7,197 Bought all the trapping to build myself a new computer yesterday. AMD 5600 on an ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero Dark mobo, couple m.2 drives, PSU, etc, etc. Everything but a new video card because prices on them are freaking nuts right now.

Pogre Audioholic Slumlord Feb 5, 2021 #7,198 I just picked these up off Craigslist for $10! They're Infinity IL30s and still well regarded. He was asking 30 for them, but one tweeter wasn't working so I offered 10, thinking I could probably find a tweeter somewhere. Got 'em home and monkeyed with the bi amp jumpers and it started working! I have them in my main system right now and been listening for the last 3 hours. I'm really loving these speakers! They sound really, really good. I can't believe I got them for only 10 bucks!
