Well since we can give out likes, like there is no tomorrow. I decided to give everyone on this current page a like.

Well now this is an interesting find. http://houston.craigslist.org/ele/4645222763.html

Just got back from a few days of R&R in the Colorado Rockies. My company's region won an annual growth award so 10 of us got to do some ATV riding and stay at an incredible home. 10,000 s.f. of beautiful architecture with 3 levels including a HT, pool table. ping pong, foosball and many other amenities. Was a great 3 days! The Home Views from my bedroom balcony Some of the architecture in the home My favorite floor The home theater was set up really nice but lacked any high quality equipment. I really like the way they framed the screen with logs. Yes, yes they are! Riding was a blast, beautiful country. Well I think I've used up my quota of photo's for the year......enjoy! BTW, the house is for sale if anyone has an extra 2.5 mil lying around

Thanks. I bought that manual earlier this week. I'm currently listening to Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out and it sounds great. I guess I better shut down and have it looked at. I have a LaScalas in my living room, and University Classics in my basement home theater which were made around the same time as the receiver that I wanted to hear it through. While you are waiting on the service you can do some stuff. When I get an old model, I remove the knobs and the faceplate, and clean them up. The glass has probably never been cleaned on the back side. Be very careful that you don't damage anything. Clean up the case, and replace bulbs etc if there are any. Basically, you can make the unit look a lot better right now, and you may enjoy doing that as much as I do. Here's what a little cleaning can do:

As a child, I wanted to be a Ninja but that didn't work out. As a teenager, I wanted to be a jet pilot for the Navy or Air Force but due to my vision, I found out that wasn't going to be a possibility. Junior year of High School, I felt let to full-time student ministry. For the past 16 years, I have been a Student Pastor in 3 churches working with 6th - 12th graders. I'm a licensed and ordained minister so I have had my share of marrying and burying as well. I love my job and I love my youth (hense the name "Youthman"). I also have had a side business since 2003 in Custom Website Design, Logo Design and Printing Services. It started out as a hobby and has grown every year since then. My wife started out as an Elementary Teacher and is now a Reading Resource Coach at a Title One School.

Our dentist, Valerie's hygenist Cami (short for Camille I think, or maybe Kimmie?) is her younger sister. Valerie started out doing the cleaning herself when she opened her own practice. I guess until Cami (I need to pay better attention... but Valerie is not at all unattractive with a sweet voice and beautiful eyes...) finished dental hygenist school. Cami is also rather easy on the eyes. (real first names so I'll not claim to have been worked over....though some of Valerie's client's were of the mindset if I wasn't already married ... probably the same with Cami too but it's not like we talked about the hot dentist a lot at work) Dr Valerie started out at another office here in town and then opened her own practice in a nearby town as she couldn't open a competing practice in the same town or within x number of miles for y years, maybe 5. We followed her to the nearby town, I think Valerie said 20 minutes. That was probably pretty optimistic, south side of town with good traffic could probably be done from her first Kokotucky office. Probably 30 from the office she opened here in Kokomo. She kept the other office and works 2 days in the other and 3 here in KTown. Her other office does have a much more up to date digital xray which is kind of cool as one can see the xrays right away on a good sized monitor. Still uses the little films at the Kokomo office. I asked a co-worker shortly after arriving in town and they recommended Valerie. She's a very good, gentle dentist. My wife used to be terrified of going to the dentist but not to Valerie. Kids never had a problem. Our oldest daughter I think after Valerie had first opened her office here in Kokomo had back to back cleaning appointments the same day. Elyse went first. Then dear old dad. Valerie had Elyse sit opposite me and suction the gunk out and thought that was so much fun and so cool. Not sure I've ever heard of a kid ever being excited about going to the dentist. Thankfully the gunk scraped off of my teeth didn't gross her out too much.

No, not worthless... And most of the time you don't even need to ask.

I’m going to test that theory ………………………..oh yeah, this post is the test.

2 things, one is I have one pair of KLF's for sale. They are all redone in black satin enamel,all drivers in good shape, grills are flawless, sound really good. No upgrades to my knowledge, selling them so I can upgrade to maybe some cornscalas. Would like to have $750.00 for them, sound like a fair price? The other is, if anyone knowing of someone having a Yamaha CX-1000 pre-amp let me know would you? Thanks

I've been so pleased with the performance of the RSW-15, I decided to purchase it's identical twin! I've passed on several RSW-15's that were out of state due to not wanting to ship this beast. What is the likelihood of finding another Maple RSW-15 locally? Guess about the same likelihood of me finding a single LaScala to use as a center channel. I purchased the sub from it's original owner. The twin is in excellent condition with only minor scratches on the top of the cabinet. Both woofers are in fantastic shape. The speaker grill had all 4 pegs broken and the previous owner used white glue to secure machine screws to the grill so the white shows through the grill. Will likely throw the grill away since I don't use them and it's in pretty rough shape. I haven't cranked them up yet as I need some suggestions regarding placement. I'll start a separate thread in the subwoofer section though.

I'm a Cowboy hater and loving this game so far!!!!

Yes, definitely have it serviced. There is a photofact available here for $5: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALTEC-LANSING-707A-TUNER-RECEIVER-PHOTOFACT-PHOTOFACTS-/320453273158 If you run it before a service, you are in danger of damaging the transformers and more. It will likely need new electrolytic capacitors and new coupling caps. All the information for these is available in the photofact mentioned above. Your service guy may or may not have this information. edit: PS, this is a pretty rare receiver. I looked all through Radio Museum (of which I am a member), and it isn't mentioned.

Altec 707 A nice gentleman in Southern Colorado has been holding this for me for several months and he drove up to Denver today to deliver. I haven't found much of anything online about this tube stereo. I quickly brought it home and disconnected the Dynaco ST70 and hooked her up in the office to some Cornwalls. Everything seems to be working and sounds great. And unlike the Dynaco, at least I can adjust the bass and treble for the different styles/quality source music I'm playing. I'm currently listening to some vintage Yellowjackets. Need to find something with strings and horns. I was wondering since this this is so old, if I should have it serviced before the thing starts on fire, or just continue to listen to it as is.

Chrysler Corp. takes customers for a spin Under-dash phonograph in a 1956 DeSoto. DETROIT – Back in the early 1950s there were many fewer music radio stations, and if you didn’t like those that were within range, your only choice was to shut the radio off and listen to the road, the engine noise and the splat of bugs on the windshield. Then in 1956, Chrysler Corporation stepped up to offer car buyers a new listening option – an in-car phonograph. The players, made by Columbia, were mounted on the bottom edge of the dash, directly above the transmission hump, and were wired directly into the car radio. Pressing a button on the front cover of the player opened it, allowing the turntable to be slid outward. Flipping a switch on the left side of the player bypassed the radio tuner, and the radio’s amplifier then could boost the signal from the player while volume, tone and balance could be controlled by the regular radio knobs.

Congrats looks great you can NEVER have to many subs

Tried to like in our coffee and cables love fest but used up my daily allotment before sunrise. I'll gave to give this a listen. The graphic is cool. I'm sure the music is as well. Duh Bears who waz hopin would be Da Bears but da D Fence appareentlly forget to ge ton da plan in Chicago and are gettin' whupped up on by Da Bills 17 - 7 at da half. Please tell me the Bills actually have a chance at a winnning record this season? Out to mow the yard before it starts lookin' like a hay field like last week as I missed a week. Rush's All The World's a Stage on old school Panasonic portable CD player. Forgot to charge mp3 player battery. Doh!. On the Image X-10 under the Pro Ears hearing protectors. Our Cub Cadet 2185 is LOUD +- 100 db at the driver's ears with mower running. with a new muffler.... with a new stupidly expen$ive muffler for 2165 with an almost as stupidly expen$ive put on new a couple of years back. 2185 muffler no longer available. 100 db with a new muffler. Gotta wonder how CRAZY LOUD it was with the rusted out original muffler!?! p.s. No idea how I managed to paste in my avatar giant sized in my quoted reply. When it happened I thought I replaced the cool Ka au Crater Boys graphic... I'm tellin' y'all. Dadburn 8 16 laptops be possessed. Our prior one was and still is but needs a new hard drive as was my last one and maybe two at work when used as a loptop (typo but fitting). Any pressure or even near the wrist wrest and it'll backtab, jump around such as pick a seemingly random new tab in MS Exdel, back up or go forward in word. etc so y'all think Bill Rock's his Kelly Ryan 2014 Lyme Disease Fundraiser tee shirt? Kelly Ryan is local bluesman Mike Milligan's sister had contracted Lyme's disease like in 2000 and thought it was cued as it went kind of dormant but not given owerful enough antibiotics, it did get better but came back with a vengeance in the last couple of years. but insurance after paying for more expen$ive treatments won't pay the $8000 for some sort of silver treatment that her doctor said should save her life and knock take it out. So Mike and his band Steamshovel, another local band called Southside, and another musician or maybe musician (I arrived when Mike started playing) and Stacey ad Her Husband Matt's Milwaukee Iron club brothrers and sisters put on a benefite at their clubhouse. Nice huge garage with at least a couple of rooms and restrooms attached with stage and a bar opening onto a very nice sized hard attached to a huge house I presume also owned by the club or at least one of it's members. The local bikers are always raising money for some charity or another and Mike puts on his own annual Breast Cancer fund raiser, Knocker's For Rockers that normally funds mammograms for women who can't afford them at the two local hospitals but this year is to benefit his sister in law who is battling breast cancer. Mike's performs at least a couple of charity events in town per year along with sponsoring Knocker's For Rockers (typo lol) which unfortunately is for his sister in law this year. Good karma said it will raise more money than usual... .

I don't think you could go wrong with two RSW15s. can't wait to hear them. Here is how I see it in the long term. This is where I would start and run a few REW sweeps to make sure any dead spots are not in key seats and adjust from there.

Send the weather this way. Hotter than a

Ha, reading that first thing reminded me of an exwife.

Well, from a looks perspective, you'll probably do better than Harry Chapin's Harry Crane .... Harry Chapin "Mail Order Annie" Lyrics: At first I did not think it could be you. But you're the only one that got off the train. So you must be my wife Miss Annie Halsey Yes, I guess I am your husband, Hello I'm Harry Crane. Mail Order Annie, never mind your crying. Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life. Mail Order Annie, can't you see I'm trying To tell you that I'm glad you're here, You are the woman who's come to be my wife. You know you're not as pretty as I dreamed you'd be, But then I'm not no handsome fancy Dan. And out here looks are really not important. It's what's inside a woman when she's up against the land. Mail Order Annie, never mind your crying. Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life. Mail Order Annie, can't you see I'm trying To tell you that I'm glad you're here, You are the woman who's come to be my wife. You know it's not no easy life you're entering. The winter wind comes whistling through the cracks there in the sod. You know you'll never have too many neighbors. There's you Girl, and there's me, and there's God. You know I'm just a dirt man from the North Dakota plains. You're one girl from the city who's been thrown out on her own. I'm standing here not sure of what to say to you 'Cepting Mail Order Annie, lets you and me go home. Mail Order Annie, never mind your crying. Your tears are sweet rain in my empty life. Mail Order Annie, can't you see I'm trying To tell you that I'm glad you're here, You are the woman who's come to be my wife.

Happy Birthday TNR! May you be doubly blessed and your amps run cool and your speakers play sweet tunes on your next ride around the sun.

Are we ever really successful at this task? But we keep on tryng.... too stubborn I guess to admit defeat.

Harman Kardon has EzSet EQ

Thx Derrick, I guess I figured they would sound "boomy" if placed in the corners but to me they sound great there and I haven't re-run my calibration software yet.

Talk about pulling one out of our a$$.

Duder, McNeese St. had you guys all tied up with 30 seconds left today? I wouldn't want to be at that practice come Monday morning.

No, not worthless...

Playing hookie from work today so :emotion-29: Tomorrow I will be hard at it though... Never liked to work weekends and due to my insistence on not working weekends, I ended up changing the culture at the local place I was working. No wonder I had a couple of friends back then. Alas, justice caught up with me and only work weekends now. Oh well!

bet you can run like a bat outta hell now.

also would enjoy the seahags defeating the cheeseheads.

An unsuccessful attempt at audio upgrades to this car....

Yes, I have both games available in my area on & the DeadZone. Why? Because I can. See, Da Bears scored they TD for the year already; good thing to get that behind them early.

I ordered some 12 gauge Kord wire and some banana plugs from Amazon to give this wire a shot.

No boost. It's just the "traditional" place where a High Shelf PEQ occurs. Looks to me like you are doing OK with the settings you have. Let me go back and look at my curves for the JBL 2360 horns, and see where you can flatten it a little more with a broad cut midband or a slight boost at the bottom.

Not a clue. Don Ho and the Coconuts

Super nice. I like it !!!!

Right now I have the left subway for in the corner and the right subwoofer behind the door in the cabinet. Dual sub sounds fantastic! If I turn the left subway for off I get about half the impact. If I turn just the right subwoofer off, I get less of a difference. This tells me that I'm definitely getting some boundary game from placing the sub in the corner. I'm going to move the right sub into the corner and fire both of them up. I have a feeling I'll get the most impact that way

About a year ago, came close to buying one of these units. Based on reviews and folks here, they are still in use today.

Hit the Dentist first thing, Foxy little tech worked me over, never spent an hour in the chair before, then had the Dentist grind down a little chip that comes with eating Cracker Jacks. Then the Pub, and then another (mine) on the way home. Good start to a Friday. Chit, just got a call from my rice farmer bud....dam wonder where this day is gonig as if i dont know.....

Who is already tired of Chris Collinsworth---again?

They are in florida... we can not come to agreement so hes going to out them up on ebay. I will bid on them there.

No affil.: http://gainesville.craigslist.org/ele/4648969579.html

Name the band without searching and get oldtimer points!

Cool thread... I enjoyed reading what others do for a living. Not that I would have ever been able to guess what anybody on here did for a living, but there were several that I thought, "I wouldn't have pegged (insert name here) as a/an (insert career here)!" I'm the Vice-President/Sales of a 150 man Aerospace Manufacturing small business that specializes in machining exotic metals (Inconel, Titanium, etc.) Most of our components go on aircraft engines and landing gear. Wifey stays home with a 2.5 year old girl and a 1.5 year old boy. And I don't know how she does it.

that birch is beautiful... it just so happens that I am once again caught between scenarios where I could buy these. if they are still available at a later date, I am more than interested in these One offs.
