Just a budget Sansui receiver I picked up at an op shop a few years ago. Not sure of model but it's certainly not sought after. Sounds nice...

Do I have this right? A corkscrew isn’t useful for people that don’t drink wine. Very insightful.

Flat screwdrivers will do most Phillips screws fine so I’d take the corkscrew because none of the other tools can do the same job.
