Put it in the window of their house and stand behind it as if it were a cash register, maybe dress in an apron to look more convincing? Or has anyone persuaded an elderly relative that it is a giant calculator?

but you know what ? I think I like the fact that it looks like that. Its one of the main reason you can find some nice gears at pawn shop and garage sale at amazing low prices. They have no idea what that big grey thing with pads and buttons is !? same thing with old analog synth, when they see there is no midi, no floppy... looks like an old piece of cr@p to their eyes ! good for me. I think I'll do a new post called ; What machine did you buy for cheap, when you knew you're buying the "real thing" ?
ok, my question seems kind of weird, but I'm really tired and speak french, so my english isn't good today ! sorry
:wink:

I was talking to a friend about his MPC 3k and his girl comes over and asks what we were talking about, I said his MPC, she gave a blank stare, then he said "the cash register" she goes "Oh, ok!" and smiles and goes away.

Cash register!
