hehehe... I can relate. my *shack* is a closed in car port. boxes of 833's, the AM Final, a BC-610 E model, 2 boxes of plug-in coils for the 610, a Viking II, and SX-73, 3 shelves on one wall full of transformers, oil-filled caps, a box of big tuning caps, a couple of dozen of cigar boxes full of fuses, xtals, tubular electrolytic capacitors, switches, potentiometers, a few reel-to-reel tape machines, some old dead cassette machines, some working, some of everything, a lot of nothing. To most people it's junk. To a builder, it's paradise. To an 'appliance operator', it simply looks like there's not enough desk space (of which I have three in that room) to place their Yea-Com-Wood's and "2-holer" amps.
