The friend who took care of the electronics that was messed up said a few 
months ago something like this;
"You are the one guy I know with the most bizarre collection of old gear" 
meaning that I for some reason have gathered a lot of unusual stuff in one 
place...

There are a lot of weird stuff to be dug out from cellars and attics around 
the world...
I guess you've read I own the only existing SDS-2 too then...

electronically yours, jesper
