that's how I felt, when we moved down here to Florida from NY back in 95, I left a bunch of my stuff in my dads basement including my Aiwa 880, it was in a cedar closet he has and I guess the cold weather helped preserve everything as the speaker surrounds still are like new. Well about 15 years later my wife went up to visit and brought a bunch of my stuff down including the 880, it was like the day i bought it, still remember that day was sitting out in the screen room with my mom and a guy my dad worked with at the time when UPS pulled up and the driver got out with a very large box, my 880!! Had to unpack it right away to show my dad's co-worker, ahh the memories !! Same feeling when I finally got to see it again when my wife got back home here!!.
