Yeah I'm going back to Linux on my main rig (a high spec T480) and will be getting a low spec T480 to use microshaft wangblows on. I've an R50 with XP that should run my film scanners just fine (win10/11 doesn't). My R60 would run XP fast cuz its dual core and sheeiiit......

Windows hasn't been good since 7......

Hell I might put trailer hitch balls for feet, with Oxygen Free(tm) chrome plating of course

That or Shwing!

Everything that close together makes me nervous. Maybe the pictures just rendered funny?

The chassis looks very cramped. Where's Marvin with the kaboom?

Well the new BLDC motor pretty much drops in. The capstan is off the other non papst ROK motor I have and fits a 5/16ths-ish shaft. I had to ream it out a little to get it to 8mm for the new motor.

Further away better, subwoofer reactivated for 60 hz and below

Fixes mostly work i think.....still got some VC rub in the "repaired" one. I may delete that dust cover spider. Anyways these show promise, the compression drivers on these are wayyy better than the 807s in those other cabs, tangerine FTW. Outstanding imaging, scary real vocals. And yes those...

As seen in the other thread I picked up a pair of Altec 604-8Ks. Decent and working but with cone damage on one of em. Was badly repaired with RTV silly-cone. I got some artist brushes, diluted Elmer's glue, and scotch tape and it seemed to work. That goofy spider dust cover under the horn is...

I know I read the threads about this on TH wayyyy back in 2010. Some good pancakes from a major manufacturer found and loaded by Larry. That's all I remember cuz I've slept a few times since then. Larry was originally a TH member and he presented this project there, and then he made this forum...
