My Dataphon acoustic coupler, which I thought had been lost for decades, suddenly resurfaced while cleaning out the basement - in almost mint condition, especially the critical rubber part in the middle. But just days after bringing it into the apartment, the device started to fall apart.

Also, my trusty old 2400 baud modem suddenly stopped dialing recently - from one day to the next. And to top it off, I've had a series of recent failures: C64, disk drives, and more.
Has anyone experienced similar issues or knows what causes these kinds of defects? submitted by /u/Radiant_Gazelle_8022 [link] [comments]
