@ Mr Rhye - That trumps my beastie on MPG! On a £ per mile basis though i think my beastie wins handsdown ....... unfortunately :eek: @ Miles - I found some shekels and sold a non essential body part ( Not my Brain!! ) and purchased some petrol, Woo Hoo....

Thanks All, I must admit i was quite surprised when i downloaded the card! I have two older Nikon cameras, One i converted to Infrared, and the other not.... time to mark them up! @ Bob - That looks great! And you are right about the clouds, they are crying out for IR or processing:cool: Big...

And have just returned from a UK road trip ( First time in decades...... odd as i live here! ) I spent the week in Warwickshire and it was excellent! Took the petrol slurping monster as the weather was around 40C ( Unheard of in the UK ) and the roof comes off! Some of the buildings are over...

Greetings and welcome on board, This is a friendly place to while away your time! PC

Very nice indeed, and compared with UK prices.....A bargain! That would be sat in my house right now if it was that price and in England! PC

Being based here in the UK it was probably not the best time to buy a lovely ( Present from Mrs PC ) Mercedes 5.5L V8 car!! It manages around 14 MPG around town, if driven like a Nun.... Petrol here is around £7.50 per gallon for super unleaded ( Which is what the car needs ) .... 21.1 Gallon...

They (innovative Audio ) really need to consider opening up a presence in Bath! Alas plenty of empty premises available.....

Nando, You will have to wait unitl the COVID debacle is over, then i can continue with my plan to stay with friends in BC and of course visit yourself and Geri ( And innovative Audio of course!! ) I love the look of the SAE kit.... never seen one in the flesh Shaun

Don't worry - I have sent him something he will love! It is still working ( Of course ) .... @AngrySailor - I would be a very angry sailor if someone stole my RT-707 ..... Meltdown sailor more like..... @ nakdoc - I would feel very at home in your basement, i work in an ex cold war bunker...

I thought i was going to have a quieter Christmas break as my favourite Power amplifier decided to have a fit ( relays ) and then no sound.... I have a back up amplifier which i quickly installed into my system ( Pioneer SA-9800 ) ...... But! I am not a religious person, however i contacted my...

I am very lucky as i have been to the actual HiFi collection in Transylvania! I did a road trip a couple of years ago, and meet up with two great guys ( Members of another audio forum.... ****heads ) in Cluj. Both had extensive collections .... Myself and Mrs PC stayed with one of the families...

Wow Vince That thing is a beastie!!! Looks like it weighs more than my car ....... Great project Shaun

I do love the look of those Pioneer PL 1000 / Phase Linear units..... Sigh I still have one Linear Tracking TT, and that is the B&O Beogram 5500, It is actually a very good unit.... But i prefer my Pioneer PL-7 or PL 62 units... PC

I agree with Nando, grab a nice TDK AD or similar from the 80's.... give that a swirl before going in. The deck does look mighty purdy! :cool: PC

Hi Alex, Some nice decks there! I was not wealthy either, nor did i have access to a great choice!! Your walkman was certainly a LOT nicer than mine was in 1980! I think that it may have been an AMSTRAD or a cheap SANYO... either way it was big and ate batteries, but to my young ears it did...

Ha! My personal demon was the 1978 Pioneer stuff.... hence the 20+ year journey to collect it ALL! Love it .... I have only one Phase Linear Item, the 7000 MK2 cassette deck ( Pioneer CT-A1 ) i love it.... If the Phase Linear kit was more available in the UK i may have gone down the same rabbit...

A few years ago ( 1983 ) i was in awe of a newly released deck from JVC, It had auto reverse, Metal tape capabilty ( Never used ) LED meters and looked so modern, So i saved my pennies, got another part time job and sold a few bits and pieces and finally managed to get enough together to return...

Colloquial speaking, that philly has a 'cracking back door' ...... Welcome to Pheonix Carl. PC

I must be lucky then, i am here of my own accord, I do find posting pictures far to much of a hassle lately on TH's, so i do not bother - Such a joy posting stuff here by comparison! That coupled with the fact that quite a number of the members on TH's that i enjoy are now here! Win Win for me! PC
