Bandit & Porolon
I was just roaming an abandoned arcade and found an 8‑bit console that’s totally begging for a fresh case. Got any hidden spots with tech relics that you’d love to repurpose?
Sure thing. Hit up the abandoned subway tunnels – they’ve got those old signal boxes and switching gear that’s just begging for a new home. Check out the old telecom tower on the edge of town – the antennas and cabling are still there, but nobody’s bothered them in years. Old data centers are gold; those racks are full of unused servers and hard drives you can give new life to. A derelict factory’s service bay can hide all sorts of industrial control panels. And don’t ignore the disused radio station on the hill – its transmitter cabinets and antique mixers are perfect for a DIY project. Just make sure you leave the place as you found it.
Sounds like a treasure hunt in every sense. I’ll be there before the train arrives, cable mess and all. Do you have a list of which ones have the best power supply mods? Or should I bring the toaster that streams just in case?
Hit the old subway tunnels first – the signal boxes there usually have those hefty 48‑volt power supplies that can be swapped out with a quick mod. The telecom tower on the edge of town? That’s got the big 220‑volt mains with a lot of unused transformer racks – perfect for a fresh power unit. Don’t skip the derelict data center; the server racks are still wired to those big 12‑V DC blocks – easy to repurpose. The factory service bay’s old CNC machines have those 24‑V regulators you can patch into your build. The radio station on the hill? Their transmitters use 400‑V AC with a lot of spare breaker panels. Bring the toaster if you’re looking for a quick, makeshift backup – it can crank up a decent 110‑V supply if wired right. Just keep it neat and don’t leave any crumbs behind.
Got the map, got the list, now to find the biggest cable mess. I’ll be there, probably five minutes late, with a toaster that streams and a pile of power supplies. Watch out for the crumbs, the real joke is making the signal boxes sing. Let's see if the subway boxes can survive my mods. See you on the tunnels!
Yeah, show those boxes who’s boss, but keep the crumbs out of the plugs or you’ll get a fried board. Bring your own flashlight and a spare fuse, and we’ll crank those signal boxes into a chorus. See you in the tunnels, get ready to hear the static sing.
Yeah, I’ll bring the flashlight, a fuse, and a half‑baked toaster for backup power. If those signal boxes can handle my tweaks, we’ll have the subway humming like a vintage band. See you in the tunnels—don’t bring a mop, just bring some patience.
Got it, I’ll keep the tools tight and the vibes chill. See you in the tunnel, ready to crank up some old rails.
I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
