Omega-TI Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 This is the thread to post photos you find around the Internet of abused, abandoned, or defiled TI's. Here's one to start it off. First it looks a little 'rough', but it's sitting UNUSED on a shelf with toys. Let's all have a moment of silence... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Ugh! Just looking at that box makes me think of dead spiders and the carcasses of multiple bugs inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 One of my wife's shitty cats (redundant statement as all cats are shitty) pissed on my otherwise pristine TI box...does that count?It actually cleaned up pretty well, except for the subtle stain and the faint, faint smell that will probably never come completely out, ever. Honestly you probably wouldn't know a cat peed on it if I didn't tell you, but just knowing that some garbage monkey whizzed on it grosses me the hell out, and I can't store my TI or anything else in it.

Flottmann1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 have you been in the Sahara Desert with this TI ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 last year I found that, could restore it, and give him a good home That's just a sad looking little orphan in need of a good home for sure. I had a photo of a real thrashed one a year or two ago, that IMHO was worth of being classified as a crime. And if that was not bad enough, some guy asked me if that was MY TI. Oh gawd! I'll see if I can find the image.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sorry, this was the only image I could procure of it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 have you been in the Sahara Desert with this TI ? hmmm, I think it was in the mid-80´s, when I just was on a trail, and I had forgotten to take it out of my car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Sorry, this was the only image I could procure of it... You know, I actually do not hate the mix of beige and black keys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I did find one photo of a TI that looks to have been painted and surprisingly (at least in this photo) it does not look half bad... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Difficult to tell what that is. Obviously the old silver/black body, but how and what was done to it (other than the obvious paint job.) I am not able to even tell what color that is supposed to be, but it is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 hmm, it´s not bad, but I think thats maybe more a question of taste. In my view, the work on it counts, the dedication. Here some pics of good work like that, some of you will know them: (these "toxic paints" on FB) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.350512835140676.1073741849.326551627536797&type=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big deal, usually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Apparently a TS1000 stuffed into the TI case. Obviously a step up for the Timex. (TImess?) It's written the valves were supposedly going to be used for the units analog audio amplifier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
