OldRUSHfan Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Haha I actually collect ornamental tin cans that originally stored candy or other goodies ... and put assorted leftover guitar parts or other doodads in them. Ya know those little Solo brand plastic containers restaurants use for condements or small items?http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Food%20-Cooking/Solo%20plastic%20containers%20small.jpgI use the ones I get from my local restaurant for parts, or assemblies of my models. Cleaned, of course, but keep the parts from being crushed or broken. I have an unending supply of these so, YAY! Kinda like you use the metal cans...I love the amount of cool stuff my brain comes up with for saving time, money and stuff.... :7up: :hail: :banana: Edited March 2, 2017 by OldRUSHfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwillchooseFreeWill Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I used to collect penguins. Strarted with a black leather and fleece one I got in San Fran and then snowballed. Christmas ornaments, fridge magnets, you name it. I downsized a lot when I moved to Oz. I also had a lot of vinyl before I moved to Oz. I only kept the good stuff like my original British pressings of the early Beatles albums, etc. I should really check the box of vinyl in the shed...These days I'm a fibre person. Knitting, spinning, and maybe weaving. I have way more fibre than I'll ever use. We fibre nuts say "whoever dies with the most wool wins". The problem lies in that I am surrounded by sheep that grow the finest wool in the world and I can't say no. It's what I do while watching my favourite shows on cable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Smith Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I don't collect guitars but I have gained a few over the years and have only ever sold 1. I collect Mizuno Blades. They are golf irons and the best in the world. Mizuno are a Japanese sports goods company and they make the best forged golf irons because of the Japanese tradition of forging carbon steel which goes back to the Samurai era I suppose. It makes the steel very very strong and pure and flexible. I have the European release sets of TP9's and TP11's which Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer used to win the Masters and The Open. I have the MP14's restored to new which Tiger won his first Masters with in 97. I also have the MP33's and MP37's. My gaming day to day clubs are the MP 32's which I still find the softest and purest irons, just like butter. Sorry, if you are not a golfer this will be meaningless to you but it is a thread about collections so I hope this is relevant.

Apparently there are hundreds of unreleased demos recorded in his studio at home over the years and have yet to see the light of day. As I said on another thread, Frank was once asked in an interview about how he felt about his offensive lyrics upsetting people. He replied that he was always happy to offend stupid people who had nothing better to do with their meaningless lives than to try to find something to be offended by and complain about it. Great insight. He was going to be an ambassador for the US to his home country of Czechoslovakia in the late 80's when they gained democracy. Unfortunately Dan Quayle was in the mix to go over to visit and Zappa said that it was very unfortunate the someone as intelligent and dignified President Vaclav Havel would have to suffer and put up with someone as stupid as the brain dead moron that is Dan Quayle. So the American authorities banned Frank from the project, It is spelt "Potato" Dan, not "Potatoe" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Fifth grade, I traded some stuff to a girl who gave me a plastic box, the ones that opened with plastic hingeshttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Cool%20Retro%20Stuff/small%20plastic%20box%20with%20plastic%20hinges.jpgLike this one. The one she traded me had several tiny things in it, one of which was a 5 inch horse shoe shaped thick magnet, A miniscule red full skeleton which I still have somewhere, packed away, a small colored rock, kinda looked like soapstone, sorta translucent light orange and tan...and some other nonconsequential stuff. I liked SMALL STUFF. When Hot Wheels came out, I bugged my Dad til he bought me my first, a blue Silhouette.http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Me%20stuff/Blue%20Hot%20Wheels%20Silhouette%20circa%201968%20My%20first%20Hot%20Wheels%20vehicle.jpg The there was the mini 'RAT FINK' rings you got from the ubiquitous coin vending machines...http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Cool%20Retro%20Stuff/vending%20machines%20toys%20sm.jpg Like these...

Like the dude in my avatar pic? Yup, and here they are. Thanks for the interest, this allows me to finish this thread, which I F*CKED UP THREE TIMES. I gave up on completing it yesterday....so HERE'S THE RINGS!http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Cool%20Retro%20Stuff/60s%20toys-%20Rat%20Fink%20rings.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Cool%20Retro%20Stuff/60s%20toys-%20Rat%20Fink%20rings-%20plastic%20vending%20machine%20type.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Cool%20Retro%20Stuff/Retro%20Cool%20Stuff-%20Mood-Rings.jpgI also aquired a 'Mood Ring'. A miniature metal Train set like this one...http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Me%20stuff/Memories-%20tiny%20stamped%20metal%20train%20toys.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Me%20stuff/The%20Robots%20cr%20sm.jpgAnd these guys, my two favorite Robots, The B-9 from lost in space, and Robbie from the Sci Fi movie "Forbidden Planet". the B-9 is a key chain thingie, and Robbie is a Hallmark 'Magic' ornament with sound and light. The B-9 also has sound, several quotes such as the ubiquitous "DANGER WILL ROBINSON!". Robbie also has some quotes..."Can I be of service sir?" I still collect Hot Wheels, though not avidly....I still collect the 1:18 scale die-cast vehicles, CDs, I have a 13" B-9 robot I bought in the '90s, that has sound and light effects also, and it can be set to 'motion detecting' and it will say something when anyone moves in front of it...I also have a 'samish' model of a car, 1:43 scale, like most CORGI vehicles were, of a Jaguar Mk 10 'Saloon' [or sedan to us U.S. folks]. My Dad bought me the Corgi version in '64 after my Tonsillectomy. That car lasted into the late seventies, when I finally tossed it. It was burgundy metal flake, had rubber tires, one of my beloved vehicles of all time. The hood and trunk opened,and it had rhinestones for the headlights! The more I think about this stuff, the more stuff comes up! Like this! The Skull that is under my monitor on the 'main table' This was in that box the girl traded me also....that's what really caught my attention! it was painted with 'glow in the dark' paint, and it still works a little bit!http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Me%20stuff/The%20Skull%20sm%20cr.jpg And more stuff I unpacked from a box in the second bedroom...http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Me%20stuff/Tiny%20stuff%20from%20my%20childhood%20cr%20sm.jpghttp://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/on%20stage%20banana.gif Edited March 19, 2017 by OldRUSHfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Records and Cd's In my opinion, the way you have explained to me. You do not really collect records and CDs. You just buy them so you can listen to the music. Its the same way in saying you collect socks! Its a must have to keep your feet warm. You do not buy different kind of pressings of the same record, right? Like if its from different labels, countries or years. I would not call you a record and CD collector. I would just call you someone that using records and CDs to listen to music with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
