I just stumbled upon an interesting hifi innards site

[mhardy6647]

It's a trifle random and chaotic (but, then again, so am I), but it has lots of photos of the outside and the inside of various & sundry pieces of hifi equipment, old(er) and new(er). I love this kind of stuff, and I thought it might be of interest to some of you, as well.
My apologies if 1) this is old news and/or 2) if the site is haunted by any nasty viruses or gremlins (it doesn't appear to be...).

Pretty neat site. Lots of good photos. 40,000+ photos. I enjoyed looking back at a few things I'd owned in years past. Lots of focus on esoteric brands.

This is my favouite. Ciunas must have taught him, or vice versa.

It seems the Japanese site HiFi Shock contributed (or had stolen) most of these images.

Man! That website design/designer needs some Xanax or something!
EDIT: After perusal, I must acknowledge that it is an excellent resource! Thanks for sharing that link!

It's even more convoluted than that -- I nosed around the site a little bit before I posted this thread... and saw a couple of my own images of the guts of Yamaha tuners (CT-1010 and CT-610II). The latter certainly deserves to be memorialized -- for, to quote Gertrude Stein, there's no 'there' there.

oh -- for the record -- what started all this was my own realization, yesterday, that I have a completely irrational, unintentional, and indefensible collection of... AM, FM, and AM/FM tuners. Not talkin' receivers or radios, just... tuners.
I mentioned this on another forum and someone mock "offered"* me an hk TU915 TU920.
I looked up the TU920 to see exactly which tuner model it was. Turned out it was (at least cosmetically) the model I thought it was (that's not really a tautology, it just reads like one! ), but I saw a picture of what is at least reputed to be the innards of one, and I was shocked. Shocked.

heh, that image those images appear to have been "borrowed" at least twice.
Not quite sure what's up with the frequency display in the top photo -- must be that "Active Tracking" thing advertised on its front panel!

The speaker teardowns are the most interesting part to me.

The good (braced, thick walled cabinetry with plenty of damping)...

And the not-so-good (thin walls, unbraced...).

He has copied other people's pictures onto his own site. I am not a fan of that. The images should be linked to where they came from so you could read more, and make sure you are looking at the right things.

Seems to be a script that scrapes other peoples content, then slaps ads on top to make a buck. Rude.

Yeah. sorry about that, team.
I did a little due diligence, but not enough.
@restorer-john's site is cool
