    I love old AC adapters. Whenever I’m tossing something out, I keep the adapter. I have a box full of them.

    A couple of years ago, I got into home music recording, and started buying used gear at auctions. If they come with the box, manual and accessories, they can be expensive, but I don’t need the box, and you can find any manual online, so all I need is the adapter. Without the adapter, the thing sells for real cheap, and I almost always have an old adapter that works.

    Nothing is more satisfying than getting a piece of used gear in the mail, and digging through the box for the right adaptor, plugging it in, and seeing it come to life.
