Save the M-Machine
« on: May 06, 2005, 11:19:47 PM »
The M-Machine needs your help!

Due to being really old, the M-Machine is failing and I don't know how to fix it! If you want to save this piece of historic pop and music culture, help me by contributing! The link in my signature is for a default donation of $1 but no ammount is too small!  Ok, so I can't make the donation link work, but my paypal address is benreilly [AT] myrealbox [DOT] com

I currently have two pictures of the M-Machine available

Pic 1
Pic 2

Those who donate will get to learn the secret origin of the M-Machine's name! It is a tale of tragic drunkenness and peer pressure. Also Blow-Pops. I will try to make the narrative entertaining.

Seriously, all donations given will be used entirely for the purpose of resurrecting the M-Machine. Not for liquer or smack.

Ah, one of them old cranky things. Yes, I've seen one at the plant I worked at over the summer last year. Quite the piece of 80s hardware. Mostly unimangiable. I will see what I can give when I can!

And the scary thing is, my thought was

"Wow that looks like a nice piece of state-of-the-art Hi-Fi


do they even HAVE Hi-Fi any more?

I just noticed that this thread is stickied. Since your donation info is in your sig, is the sticky really necessary?

no, not necessary any more. I stickied it before I really knew how I was going to take care of it. I'll un-sticky now.
