Decided to get back into the hobby after a couple of years of time off
Rather than having my Luxman amp in storage repaired, I thought of looking up some items in the market section. Unfortunately, I missed out on this deal
http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,173455.0.html To cheer myself up, called in sick to work last Monday
and headed to the Pier (boy, did I miss that place). After countless "ano hanap mo, boss?" and going through all the familiar stores, with no hopes of finding a gem really, I stopped by this store that sells mainly sewing machines with a few amps on display. Still nothing. Pero napansin ko sa katabing store may mga amps na mukhang for repair lahat. Tingin-tingin lang and underneath the pile of amps and literary nasa pinakababa....BULAGA! Sansui AU-D907
parasmi: Boss, for repair ba lahat ng items nyo dito?
technician: Yung iba gawa na, sir.
parasmi: Saan dyan yung mga sira?
technician: Yung naka hilera dun (pointing to where the Sansui is placed)
parasmi: Eh magkano po yung Sansui na nandun sa pinakababa as-is?
technician: Ah yung 907? (aba! alam nya) OK na yun, sir
parasmi:
parasmi: Magkano, boss?
technician: 8,500
parasmi:
Wala ng tawad-tawad, inspect, testing, bayad, balot, uwi
The surplus gods smiled upon me
