Yesterday's pickup of a complete, free Pioneer stereo system fell through as the owner failed to give us his home address and, in fact, went totally silent from 10 PM Tuesday until 10 PM Wednesday. We were labeling him as a flake, but all is now forgiven. It seems the poor guy spent the entire day at a VA hospital. They are notoriously slow, and I feel for him.

We told him to let us know when a better time would be and, presumably, we will still be getting the system sometime soon.

As it turned out, a Wednesday night auction made our failure to get the Pioneer system largely irrelevant. More on that in a bit.

In a couple of hours, we're driving fifty miles to pick up a complete Pioneer stereo system that the owner is giving way. That's right... it's free. The funny thing is, we just bought a used Pioneer system, with cabinet and speakers, a month ago! I don't remember what we paid, but it was an auction lot and couldn't have been much. This beats it, though.

I don't know the model numbers of the various components since the guy posted just the one photo and nothing more. He did say that the amplifier is broken. I can live with that... I've probably got a spare amplifier somewhere. It'll be fun to assemble the thing and see how it sounds.
