Well there’s a Nikon F6 waiting for me when I get home from the hospital. My gallbladder went bad and had to come out, sure didn’t see that one coming. Guess it’s my get well present.
Huh. And mine's been sitting screwed to my enlarger, with not much to do. Perhaps I should re-evaluate it.Even the Jupiter 12s are well over $100 now.
How about what I didn’t buy? I was out with a local sketching group and during some post-drawing socializing, the subject of photography came up and one of the members said “oh, I’ve got all my late grandfather’s photography gear but I’m never going to use it. It’s really old, you know, the kind of stuff where you went under the cloth on the back of the camera.”
I summoned up enough willpower not to dive into that, after all, it’s that type of thing that has filled my man cave with reel-to-reel machines, 8-track decks, and hundreds upon hundreds of tapes and the gear to support it all.

You need a bigger cave.
Exactly. I’ve already expended into part of the other house we bought across the street and use as a rental. I have couple cars and a boat stashed over there. If the tenant leaves I’ll argue to get the whole house.
I just hope one day I will have enough time to play with everything.
I have a half dozen R2R's, a few early ones that are in parts, an 1962 Akai that I converted to a guitar valve amp, base model Kenwood and TIAC from the 70's that are in service and still going strong and a beast of a OTARI MX5050 which probably needs a bit of a proper service, but working. Medias the problem, lot of sticky tapes around and anything new is very expensive.
Back on topic I received 2x 16mm films one 1600', one half that size is a bit acidic smell, but looks ok. Not sure what's on them, hopefully not R rated as I will set up open air in the back yard to watch on my 1948 Bell & Howell 601.
Nikon D700.
