I love EMs and try to always have a project going in my game room/workshop. I do like playing them, but working on them is equally fun for me. I call myself a fixer, not a restorer. I don’t mind when old things look old yet we can play them as intended. I often think about how the manufacturers intended these machines to last 3-5 years before being replaced. And here we are working on them and playing them 40, 50, 60 years later. How awesome it is that?
