At Bunnings by 7am to buy a fly trap, set up. Still plenty of flies, not one in the trap :(
Spent $50 on an encoder to capture sound from SO’s cassettes, elderly boom box died. Elderly Walkman had no power adapter ($35) so bought one from Jaycar. Plugged in power, smoke rose from Elderly Walkman 🤦 Have now ordered a new cassette player ($42).
Have now spent more on digitising SO’s tapes (which he hasn’t listened to in 17 years) than it would have cost to just get them done professionally.
@anathema_device for future plans, you could always hit up local makerspaces or libraries; they sometimes have this sort of equipment available for lending. Or put a call out to the fediverse, I'm sure someone would have the stuff you need 💙
