This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have to work with some of these machines. When they fail, it's an ever increasing gamble if we'll even be able to repair them. I already have to resort to buying parts off eBay "as is" and hoping they work. At some point, there's not going to be any left and we'll be utterly fucked.
