Title: Wish me luck...
Post by: AKIMbO on Sat, 08 November 2014, 11:07:56: About to hit the road for a 16 hour drive with a backseat full of precariously packed, irreplaceable keyboards (lzgh, ssks, at fs, f122s, kingsavers, zkb2s, etc.) and 2 mean ass cats. It's the creme de la creme of my collection.

Wish me luck and hope the cats don't crap on my early 80s IBMs!

Forego keyboards
Acquire cats
Get both and you won't have to buy cat beds because cats will lie down on your keyboards rather than any sort of plush beds you buy for them.

Source: My cats are *******s and lie down on my keyboards when I'm not around to yell at them.

Post by: HoffmanMyster on Sat, 08 November 2014, 15:45:59: Good luck! If I've learned one thing from roadtripping with keyboards, it is to *not* put the keyboard face up on the front seat. You never know when a turkey-like bird thing is going to fly into your windshield and get glass shards inside said keyboard. You probably remember that though. :P

Where is this great roadtrip taking you?? And more importantly, why wasn't I invited? ;)

Since it's legal to kill iguanas here in Florida... My car is a pretty good repellent.

If the PCB is not cracked in half, I may be able to revive it. I figure it might be worth a shot before you part it out.

*Sigh* I suppose I could find a good home for them on my HHKB.

But seriously, that sucks. Is it dead dead or is there a chance that you could somehow make it go all Lazarus? At least everything else made it.

And how's the car upholstery? I'd imagine that might never be the same either.
