The red wire goes where?


I was reading an appreciation of the economist Milton Friedman in the Times of London.

“His other hobbies included tennis, wooden cabinet making and assembling stereo equipment.”

This proves one of my pet theories. You DO need to be a Nobel Prize winner to be able to assemble stereo equipment. I don’t feel so dumb now.

I agree - when I bought a DVD player a couple of years ago, the 10 year old neighbour wired it up for me AND had it running through the stereo as well - his mother and I sat there drinking coffee and feeling very inadequate.
