First thing he did was call me... (he's 73 years old)...
Dad: We gotta have a new receiver quick, ours just went out.
Me: Really? Like quit quit.
Dad: Yeah... it's gone.
Me: How much you wanna spend?
Dad: Oh... I don't know... 100 bucks?
Me: :thud:
Dad: You okay?
Me: You know you ain't gonna get anything that will last for 100 bucks. :sarcastic:
Dad: How much you talking about then?
Me: Spend a couple hundred at least and get something that will last you a while. Otherwise you keep buying those 75 dollar receivers and you gonna keep replacing them every couple of years.
Dad: See what you can find me, but try to stay under 200 dollars.
I found this Onkyo 505 for $167 shipped. That ought to do him fine, don't you think?
He'll have to get momma's approval to spend that. :spend:
