Just a thought on first impressions, items for sale....and your thoughts.


When looking at a used car, the owner having it clean and looking its best is mostly what my experience has been.  The same is true with buying a home.  That said, I am somewhat surprised that her and on other sites like ebay, there are components that are dusty/dirty, finger printed and basicly not ready for prime time.   Your thoughts?

Agree with all that's been said. What's worse is when the add says something like "Finish on the speakers is a little faded, nothing that a bit of wax won't fix".

The why didn't he do it?

 When a nice piece of gear is shown being filthy thats all I need to know...

I agree with the laziness post. How long does it take to dust something?

Vintage be careful. Surface dust is fine. If it need a cleaning leave it alone unless you know how to clean it without harm.. No windex. Just a damp cloth, if its dirty use a warm soapy lent free rag. Pull the knobs and soak them in ivory. Dry and any tough stuff just use baby oil and work off the grim with CLEAN soft lent free towles. and cotton. Never Dull is great..

 

OR throw it in the trunk take down to the car wash and preassure wash it..:-)
