We've already organized a raiding party for Ira's storage garage. :popcorn: :popcorn: :lol:


I haven't even thought about that for my collection so I guess they would sell them, my family is already aware that many of my boxes are fairly valuable to a selection of nut cases on eBay.

As you went into in that deep post, Stranj - the next generation may be where it's at. Go out and have kids, guys. Somebody has to carry your box down the street when you're gone.

(watch for a coffin with a tape deck in "Customizations")

Seriously, though, while your kids may not carry on the "form" of what you're into - they may just carry the "essence." Whatever it is that the VU meter does for you when you watch it light up, they may get that same feeling. But they may not be watching a VU meter. (they may even be doing ballet - hey, it happened to Ronald Reagan with his son)


I think about how my dad was always into cars, and since we were always angry at each other I didn't let myself care about cars until he died. I'm sure he wanted to teach me how to paint them, to take care of them the way he did. He was just a dick about it.

One day, as I was putting the third coat of Mystique paint on a laserdisc player - it hit me that I wasn't all that different from my dad. In some good ways. And now I have a laserdisc player that looks metallic green from one side of the room, and fades into metallic purple as you walk across the room.

Well I just asked my fiancé what she would do with my boxes, and she said keep them. So I asked and why would you do that, and she said because they are a part of me. :-D You no, I believe her :-) :thumbsup:

My wife will either put them in the container below or bury me in my car with the boomboxes inside too :lol: . That's why skippy and spud are in my will :yes: .

I'm leaving them to my wife, if she outlives me, and the she's leaving them to my kids. They can fight over who gets what box, and hopefully by then it will be a decent collection, lol

I've told my wife to post a notice in the "for sale" section of this forum, and whoever makes it to Detroit gets to take whatever they want, no limit. At least, those are my instructions. I wonder what the odds are that she'll follow them. Stay tuned...

Great post. My daughter (10 years old) isn't that into them, so I would just have my wife sell them, and perhaps keep one. On a somewhat related note... My daughter and I do with boomboxes what some other parents and kids do with "punch buggy"' we pinch one another whenever one shows up on TV or in a movie. Needless to say, Dad is better at it than she is...
