I have a little hobby: I will fix anything as long as whoever wants it fixed isn't going to push me on a delivery date, is willing to drop it off (or it is easily accessible without moving) and pick it up again when it is done. I only take in a small number of items at the time. It gives me a great excuse to keep tools around.
Last two weeks worth of projects: vintage synth, an 'unrepairable' mountain bike, a bed (that had been cut in half by someone to move it), a couch (that had lost its legs).
Unfortunately no 'before' picture, it was in pretty rough shape, had been dropped from the back of a truck by a roadie after a performance and sat in an attic for the last decades. It took a lot of work to get this back to the state it is in but I had fun doing it and I'm super happy with how it turned out. Lots of keys were broken, quite a few of the contacts underneat the keys had bent as well because even the strike plate was deformed. I have never seen that happen before on a DX7, even when you drop them you are more likely to damage the floor than the instrument, they are built like tanks.
