Switching topics ever so slightly, got to hold some 1/64'" thick plywood at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field in the big D today. They have a model shop that builds all the display models and that seems to be the wood of choice for wings and fuselages. What I held looked like...

Merry Christmas from Dallas, everyone! Enjoying a few days with the kids and - to Lindsay's consternation - delivered the Exposure Integrated to Jeff for his system. Got stuff to buy, I tell ya...

The high school I attended bought four of the Subaru versions in 1972 for the grounds crew. They became the object of several senior pranks involving relocations by lifting and moving before they got wise and locked them in the barn at the end of the day. Four football players could pretty much...

I noticed similar cracks in the veneer on my LSA monitors years ago, but the cracking is confined to the sides which are curved, which makes some sense. Like yours, you really have to be looking for them. The good news is they've remained static for a number of years so I'm in the "let sleeping...

Ya gotta be southern...

Many thanks! My membership there got wiped and they won't let me re-register.

I've got the top off. The gear on the side rotates as it should and I can rescue a tape by using that, just doesn't seem to be getting electrical signal to make it work. Oh well, all else fails, I can sit it on the desk at work and let it look pretty. Can't even locate an operations manual, let...

None that I can see. The lifters don't bring the tape up to the drum.

And as I just posted in the Score thread - the transport isn't working from electrical commands. I can insert and eject a tape but it won't play, FF, or RW and with the top off, it doesn't appear to engage the tape when it's inserted in the play position. It will spin the drum a few seconds and...

In a box with a JVC CD player in an unused office. Powers on, no cables or DATs here at the office; hopefully we'll see if it really works tomorrow. Pay no attention to the BPC Technics receiver - I snagged it from surplus a couple years ago when I moved in here.

Switching back and forth between my Denon DL-301 and DL-304 moving coils as the mood hits. The Talisman Alchemist isn't in their league, so it's just being a collectors item.

• FM Progressive DJ/radio personality at WSIM-FM in 1975. • Shifted over to news, worked as a reporter and news director at WDXB and WGOW/WSKZ from 1975 - 1979. • Public Relations Manager at Chattanooga - Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau in early 1980. • Media Relations Manager at...

Spent every Friday night/Saturday after midnight at WSIM in 1975 splicing in the spots we sold on the Flower Hour tapes we got from DR Productions - I forget who the actual syndicator was. This was before they began distribution on LPs, I think. Either that or we had selected receipt of the...

That's because it's a race to the grocery store and liquor store. Or is it the other way around?

Well, my father-in-law had three kidneys. Both type of kidney stones, too. He was a pretty nice guy but he could be a real joy to be around some days. That's become my plan. Though I get enough time off for travel and I'm not going out to oil rigs in the middle of the night, so I'm enjoying...
