I want something unique easy to work on by myself i want it to be fun to drive daily and it has to be reliable and easy to get parts for also affordable and easy to modify for a beginner some cars I had in mind are Volvo 240 or a 1980s el Camino a 200s ford Taurus wagon or maybe a crown Vic
I got it from a yard sale that was stuff they pulled out of there basement of there house that was built in 1800 they said if I didn’t take it they would burn it in there fire place I have it in a frame in my room hanging on my wall I I also have a 1964 newspaper from the same yard sale also free is wen lyndon b johnson became president of the United States after the jfk assassination I don’t have any pictures of it it’s stored away in a box in my closet in my room pretty neat that someone kept this stuff for all those years
Valves were stuck had to oil them with valve oil they would not move the front one sometimes gets stuck down and goes back up slow I think this trumpet has had a hard life i had to throw out the original case wen I got it it smelled terrible and one of the latches was broken on the case I think it has had some repairs as mouthpiece looks different from original and the where it attaches to the trumpet i think was soldered on and missing fingers ring on tuning slide and the top one has been removed i play it left handed even though it’s made for right hand playing sounds pretty good for a $50 fb marketplace trumpet that probably wasn’t played in years maybe even decades
I I bought this laptop from an 80 year-old man. For 30 bucks It had been sitting in storage for 30 years in his closet. It came in an old hardware store box from his dad‘s old store. it came with all the accessories and the original owners manual I got it home, took the battery out, which was corroded plugged it in with the charging cord. It turned on immediately. I don’t think any modern Apple laptop could last 30 years and still works I also don’t think modern Apple laptops. Are that easy to work on the battery just slid out the side of the laptop. On a modern laptop to remove the battery, you would need a special apple screwdriver and the disassemble the whole entire thing. Old laptops were just better.
This stereo still works we listen to Xmas music on it wen we set up the tree in December i don’t think a modern stereo would work for 30 years at all
