Re: Busy nocturne at Chez Orange with fun pics of my crap et
In my own words, don't you dare stop me when my butt gets creative!
I have just about all I need to put doors etc on my recording desk.
I got some 10.5" reels with bad tape and i've beentaking them apart, cleaning them up and painting them.
NOT THE TDK REEL-GOODNESS NO I'M ONLY CAREFULLY CLEANING THAT!
Painting the halves, painting the hub in the box gold, a fabric liner over that card.
I'm going to add graphics to the reels as these are special takeup reels!
I'm having some fun!

Re: Busy nocturne at Chez Orange with fun pics of my crap et
Now I gotts find as better screw, it's too long and I gotts fuss with it.
Like I did with the Zephyr lamp untill I just put it in from the bottom...it's just a shell, for show until the battery pack for the Wamco Winner signal goes in.
I have a box with two arrows for the rear and stuff to mount in front.

Re: Busy nocturne at Chez Orange with fun pics of my crap et
I have THREE bikes, Lee.
The Rollfast is a project, a motorcycle style bike
The Western Flyer is a workiing bicycle that needs new tires and some care.
The Schwinn is the embodiment of what I always wanted in a middleweight cruiser. Light, speedy, looks great. The first model in this family was introduced in 1939.
I'm not obsessed, that would be the Rollfast. Still I won't deny I flat out love the bike. I added JC Higgins/Elgin (Sears) fenders, which I painted and striped myself. I had to figure how to get the 9 hole rack on the paperboy baskets spine (remove the arms was one lesson), drilliing an old fender with a Black and Decker.
The tank is a Hawthorne and I have had to adapt it and improvise.
It was a gift to me as I had no bike with the Rollfast torn down, then it was stolen and Mom gave me the Western Flyer. 8 months later I got my Schwinn back.
I've owned Schwinn before, a nineties Heavy Duti, 1995 Classic Cruiser (the springer in the 100th anniversary line like the Cruiser SS you are asking about), a lot of junkyard rescues.
I don't have a car. Running around on my bike isn't so much of a chore...it's just a lot of fun for me.
I won't get to my Mom's on it but it's my bike...might as well do it the way I like. The real thing costs way too much.

About all of the prerecorded, new and blanked VHS, SVHS and Betamax tapes in the drawers under the video stuff. I reracked the eight tracks too.[attachment=4:2btkatq5]jfhjoi55oij6o5988thjfhnfhj (7).JPG[/attachment:2btkatq5][attachment=3:2btkatq5]jfhjoi55oij6o5988thjfhnfhj (4).JPG[/attachment:2btkatq5][attachment=2:2btkatq5]jfhjoi55oij6o5988thjfhnfhj (1).JPG[/attachment:2btkatq5][attachment=1:2btkatq5]jfhjoi55oij6o5988thjfhnfhj (2).JPG[/attachment:2btkatq5]

Mike Wolfe from American Pickers is going to show up at your place if the word gets out about those bikes you have. Vintage American boys bikes is his passion (boys never took care of their bikes so they became rare as a result, girls versions are much less rare)

Re: Busy nocturne at Chez Orange with fun pics of my crap et
One eight track recorder to patch in, my Infinty cabinet based Pioneer rears, the S-video cable plugged in at the modulator, put the Pioneer old Pioneer center in underneath in the old speaker chamber and at least all but the center likely be done today.
No wild females with reckless abandon and no sense have pre-applied though.
