Vintage NOS Japanese lighters - help with pricing and other info

Hi, I have a bunch of these Fire lite tu tone lighters and Penguin Cygnus lighters that are new old stock. The Cygnus ones are branded with the Nabob logo.

I’ve had them for a long time and never been able to find much info on them. I’m curious what these ones would be worth as they are still in box and never used or taken out until now.

Thanks for your help on this.

Denon x1700h stopped working after 6months

Hi, so just a bit of a warning/story about my first experience with Denon after being a long time Onkyo AVR supporter.

I was looking for an AVR that supported 7.1 and decided on this Denon over the Onkyo NR5100.

After purchasing the AVR during Christmas 2025(brand new), I set it up, dialed in the settings and have been using it for gaming, PC, streaming movies, 4K and the whole works.

It initially worked pretty good and I was happy with it until last night when at the end of Interstellar the sound stopped. And not just the movie sound, but no sound outputs since.

I’ve restarted, unplugged the power, unplugged all hdmi, factory reset and then finally disconnected all speaker connections.

In every case I don’t get sound being output. And although I can navigate menus, when I go to the test tone menu it freezes up. I have no control on that screen and can only back out. Same with the setup wizard when it gets to the same spot doing test tones. This happens even when no speakers are connected leaving me to confirm it’s something with the hardware.

So then jumping thru the warranty hoops and I have to send it to a 3rd party repair shop, shipping both ways is apparently covered but I’m looking at probably a month or more without the receiver and then who knows what happens.

Super disappointed. 6months old. I have Onkyo receivers approaching 10yrs old and working just as good as it did on day one. Starting to think I made the wrong decision.

Anyways thanks for listening to my rant.

2nd Cosori air fryer basket has broken handle plastic - looking for recommendations

Hi folks,

We have been loooong time Cosori Air Fryer users, even thru the recall and replacement.

Unfortunately there seems to be an inherent flaw with their baskets. This is the 2nd basket where right at the point where 2 of the 3 screws go, the plastic has broken off rendering the basket useless.

When the first one happened, I reached out to Cosori and was only told that they'd happily sell me at full price additional baskets.

So....at this point, I'm looking for your recommendations. The air fryer we have used and loved for years now, is Model CP168-AF.

Thanks in advance
