Capstone‌‌Update‌‌#5‌ 

‌
 ‌
 ‌
Accomplishment‌‌from‌‌past‌‌couple‌‌of‌‌days‌  ‌
 ‌
I‌‌have‌‌just‌‌wrapped‌‌up‌‌my‌‌final‌‌repair‌‌on‌‌the‌‌speaker‌‌and‌‌the‌‌amplifier,‌‌and‌‌have‌‌taken‌‌
 
pictures‌‌for‌‌them‌‌to‌‌sell.‌‌I‌‌also‌‌began‌‌cleaning‌‌them‌‌up‌‌and‌‌refurbishing‌‌them,‌‌which‌‌is‌‌
 
repainting,‌‌swapping‌‌parts,‌‌spraying‌‌the‌‌parts,‌‌etc.‌  ‌

What‌‌do‌‌you‌‌plan‌‌to‌‌accomplish‌‌by‌‌the‌‌end‌‌of‌‌this‌‌week?‌  ‌

I‌‌want‌‌to‌‌step‌‌up‌‌a‌‌balance‌‌sheet‌‌with‌‌my‌‌business‌‌to‌‌show‌‌the‌‌profit.‌‌I‌‌also‌‌want‌‌to‌‌buy‌‌
 
refurbishing‌‌supplies‌‌and‌‌finish‌‌refurbishing‌‌the‌‌final‌‌two‌‌audio‌‌equipment‌‌which‌‌includes‌‌
 
cosmetic‌‌-‌‌repainting,‌‌removing‌‌rust,‌‌and‌‌performance‌‌issues‌‌-‌‌replacing‌‌parts.‌  ‌

Your‌‌needs,‌‌including‌‌time,‌‌space,‌‌materials,‌‌and‌‌personal‌‌contacts‌  ‌

I‌‌would‌‌buy‌‌some‌‌paint‌‌and‌‌markers,‌‌would‌‌need‌‌some‌‌chemical‌‌cleaners,‌‌and‌‌one‌‌of‌‌those‌‌
 
being‌‌an‌‌air‌‌sprayer.‌‌I‌‌will‌‌need‌‌to‌‌contact‌‌my‌‌electrical‌‌engineer‌‌friend‌‌for‌‌repair‌‌advices.‌‌
   ‌

Any‌‌obstacles‌‌you‌‌anticipate‌  ‌

The‌‌shipping‌‌cost‌‌would‌‌be‌‌quite‌‌high‌‌due‌‌to‌‌the‌‌current‌‌situation‌‌with‌‌Covid,‌‌shipping‌‌cost‌‌
 
are‌‌really‌‌high‌‌right‌‌now‌‌especially‌‌internationally,‌‌and‌‌since‌‌I‌‌did‌‌not‌‌include‌‌(the‌‌shipping‌‌
 
cost)‌‌it‌‌in‌‌my‌‌original‌‌listing,‌‌I‌‌would‌‌be‌‌losing‌‌some‌‌money.‌‌Maintaining‌‌a‌‌customer‌‌base‌‌
 
and‌‌building‌‌one‌‌would‌‌be‌‌hard,‌‌I‌‌am‌‌not‌‌too‌‌worried‌‌because‌‌I‌‌am‌‌planning‌‌only‌‌to‌‌sell‌‌a ‌‌
couple,‌‌not‌‌having‌‌would‌‌mean‌‌this‌‌project‌‌would‌‌not‌‌be‌‌successful;‌‌to‌‌fix‌‌this,‌‌I‌‌will‌‌contact‌‌
 
my‌‌friend‌‌who‌‌owns‌‌a‌‌reselling‌‌business‌‌and‌‌how‌‌he‌‌overcame‌‌the‌‌challenge.‌  ‌

A‌‌summary‌‌of‌‌your‌‌progress‌‌since‌‌last‌‌post‌  ‌
