Damn I get so angry when I see people like that!! So many parts that can be used for others and machines that dont get any use at all, and for what?
He's looking after them, so I don't have a problem with that. Now, if the roof was leaking and it was damp and dusty in there then I'd tend to agree with you. I think his retro gear is safe where it is though and looks to be well preserved. You have to remember that there's more old gear around that can possibly get used. The way see it, these hoarders are doing a good job by saving old electronics from landfill; plus it's at their OWN expense.
