spodi, I can hear that!

So, question for Frank or other knowledgeable East River-adjacent locals: we finally got a shelf that let us take all the components out and set up. With great hope, I connected everything ... and found the tuner/receiver won't turn on. Any idea of a place to get it fixed locally? It's probably 25 years old? Sony. Seems a shame to dump it. Or am I being stupid?

Handy, I myself is looking for a place to repair old equipment. I have two receivers that could use work and their just collecting dust in my basement because I don't know where to take them. Supposedly there's a guy on Clarkson Ave who is good and affordable, but he's a one man operation and it's more of a side gig than his profession, so it takes him ages to get the work done.

  11:14am

there should be a little fuse holder in the back of the receiver - turn it counter-clockwise, take the fuse out and see if the filament is 'broken' - it is a good sign if it is broken. easily fixed.

Frank, the most likely candidate we have found so far is on E. 77th St. in Manhattan. And there's what looks like a fancy tape recorder place on Ocean Parkway?

spodi, it's a Sony STR-D350Z AV Control Center. And the CD player seems like it needs some sort of wrench smack to fix the opening-closing action. A Sony CDP-C160Z.

Michael, I have made a few things now from the site where you got your chilles rellenos recipe. Good stuff! I never in my life imagined making my own enchilada sauce, but here we are.

Quick SB narrative: The greatest quarterback of all time vs. the greatest quarterback playing the game right now. The last era of the NFL vs. the future. And two coaches that are more concerned with putting their players in a place to succeed than with their own reputations. It's really one of the better SBs in years.

Wilson in SO:

The game is the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Tampa Bay buccaneers. The Chiefs should win because, among other things, they have hands-down the most talented and interesting quarterback of all time; Patrick Mahomes. However, there is an interesting narrative at play which is that universally reviled QBTom Brady, in his first season away from the universally reviled patriots, took a generally very shabby team all the way to the big game. So the usual over dog is now the underdog.

Bill in W.O.:

The game will likely be close, as has been the pattern in recent years (after decades of bad/blowout SB games). Tampa Bay features GOAT QB Tom "MAGA" Brady, his old partner Rob Gronkowski and some very good receivers and a swarming defense versus the KC Chiefs and the greatest QB in the game today, Patrick Mahomes, who is spectacularly good and armed with two excellent receivers (Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce) and a number of less known playmakers, with a defense that is less impressive than Tampa's but which seems to play just well enough to keep opposing teams from outscoring the high-flying Chiefs. Final score KC 38 - Tampa Bay 35.

Talked a lot of sports, told them about baseball and USAian football, heard about soccer and shinty. Finally asked, "But what about cricket? It's like baseball. Don't you watch cricket."

Ennui was invented in nineteenth-century French novels, once there was enough of a middle class to support novels and to feel boredom. Melancholy was diagnosed by Paracelsus and is, basically, depression.
