notes from the attic

a slow blog about old things, mostly

The belt fits

The belt for the reel-to-reel recorder arrived and went on at the second try. The tape was less cooperative.

The repair boxes

Two of the four boxes marked "repair" turned out to need nothing more than a screwdriver.

A new home for these notes

Moved the notes off the free blog host and onto their own address. Old posts keep their dates.

On keeping lists

A short note on why I still write things down on paper first.

The radio cabinet

Found the manual taped underneath. Turns out it still works if you're patient with the dial.

Spring cleaning, finally

Took three weekends longer than planned, but the attic is finally sorted into boxes that make sense.
