For sure Matt! I was gifted a Bose surround subwoofer which doesn't have a power switch, so it has to be unplugged. I only use it for 2 channel bass boost on certain weaker vinyl, phono cartridges and USB drive music predominately at lower volumes.
I unplug my power conditioner/surge protector every night, during, or if storms are forecast when not home. I leave nothing in standby power when not at home either. Not after losing a vintage amp. to lightning.
Yes Chet, easy to clean the knobs, but not even a steam clean oven cycle. I wouldn't trade my 2007 GE Profile dual fuel for one. Controls under glass. Only drawback is if water from a pot on a front burner drips on it, it sometimes will clear off. Only higher end ranges today have controls under...
My uncle was an install and wiring tech. for AT&T. They worked in junction tunnels and new high rises. He got zapped once by his butt set. No one knew there was lightning outside yet.
Who knows? The stainless around it rusts. Obviously it isn't 18/10% nickel stainless.
P.S. My Sanyo boom box was the 9030 K. The lower front was silver color. Not early for me at all. Upper body workout this morning.
I suppose 25 years is good out of an appliance these days, or even post 90's. Not that you shouldn't repair it again.
Our GE 25.4 cu. ft. side by side is from 2007. Had a couple warranty service visits for the ice maker jamming and water valve leaking. We no longer use them,
On the second...
Panasonic made great products. I don't remember all the Sanyo features. It was black, tuning dial on top with balance, tone, and volume also. I think I paid $189. I handed it down to my brother.
I had a mid sized 1980 Sanyo cassette/radio only type. It had very good dynamic range and stereo imaging for a box with small tweeters in addition to the main drivers.
