Here, the trusty Korg Triton EX with a REAL 12AU7 in use to warm up the sound where needed.. The genuine Hammond logo right where it should be....The Leslie speed control made to look and work just like the vintage 'half moon' switches (no, these are NOT cheap by any means!).....and that all controls a new, compact Leslie with the same mechanical, spinning horn and rotor with in.... Computer controlled servo motors do all the work now. This one made right here by Hammond USA ! All for now........Gary

Morning Gang Coffee perkin, Duggans WILL be purchased today. Let's all try and wake up Sunday with our fingers still attached. Still looking at 100s here, getting plenty of rest, because nothing happens from 95 up.

It was 6 months ago today that we lost our friend Boxx. I miss him everyday and keep his family in my Prayers. Here is to you Boxx, thanks for being a part of my life, I'm a better person for it.... Today I celebrate the memories of our friend Kevin. We were very fortunate to have him as a part of our Klipsch family for so many years. I feel truly blessed. Rest In Peace Kevin Croft. Dennie

Good afternoon my friends............ Yes Joe S. I have become very happy with the results, and it gets used only on the weekends, as I don't have much time in the morning during the week to prep and prepare the thing. Coffee usually out on the road or shop unit at bench otherwise. So, a nice three day weekend for me thank goodness........ Monday off and a rehearsal that night per usual, the whole month of rehearsals cancelled for the Diamond band because of mandatory work hours WAY past the normal day But, right now in the studio working on the music for BOTH shows and working with some closer photos for interest coming up NEXT. Chuck B3, the Hammond is for you. Won't you take a trip this way to have at it ??? All switches are GO .......you'll know where to find me

Happy 4th of July C&C buds! Yes Gary I still spin those big old reels. I have three decks....one with a technician now. It's Saturday morning retirees and worker bees. Get out there and do something. First cup down and Jake fed. He is now "resting" from a hard night of sleep and I'm ready for cup #2. Cheers Ladies and Gents

Took a nap, now coffee is order. Time to start cooking for tomorrow. I will try and get some photos for the fine food and music thread. I feel like Mark taking a nap and waking up to coffee at 9 o clock at night.

Happy Wife = Happy Life A little Hint for those with Laminate flooring Dont use furniture polish to clean it, (Can you say ice skating rink) Gary see your still using the Pyrex perc.................................. Happy 4th Everyone

Good mornings everyone. Chuck, thanks so much for sending that photo, very impressive with those lovely magnetic machines (0; We will talk more.. Meanwhile, just perked a fresh brew of Melitta and steaming hot ! Breakfast time in the household... Enjoy your day everyone.. ........Gary .....and taking it easy ;0)

Well glad your back, Ok this is the deal, I know it's the 4th of July but try really hard to NOT blow anything up. 1 You still live in town, and to make that worse it's in California where you almost need a permit to breath ! 2 The neighbors probably think your a little crazy already ? 3 The Mia neighbor may just go over the edge and shoot up the whole neighborhood ? see I've been thinking about this. We will be watering our lawn for the Fourth, and NOT to make it grow. Lawn died two months ago as did most of the neighborhood, Fire hazard it is now.

Afternoon gang......Yes a happy 4th to all. Working on 2nd cup...don't know what I'll be getting into today.....This is the first 4th of July I will be celebrating as a U.S. citizen. Oh yea let me light up some of those fire works.....lol lol... Some of you guys might remember I became a U.S. citizen back in Oct. Only been here 46 years.. Take care all...check in later....wife just said were going to the movies....ahhhh ok... MKP :-)

Good 4th of July morning to you all! Took quite a while to get caught up here. Luck didn't quite go my way as a kid on 4th of July, so let's just say at age 19 I changed my tune and decided to simply watch others. ​ Got to get cup #2 Be SAFE everyone and have a great 4th of July weekend! Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day! 49* Nations, under God, divisible, with Liberty & Justice for Y'all.

I'm sorry I never sent any pics of cleaning the sticky solenoid... Mea culpa! Bruce

Yes, yes, and I am there too!! Chuck, thanks for your kind words and getting the link passed around. We hung out with Nathan (last night's featured organist) at the banquet tonight.... He has crazy credentials as were listed on the OHS site.. I still have more photos to share from the weeks work, just was not able to get wifi everywhere, so the pics are still on the iPad.. Well, back to RTM, coffee in the morning with this fine group ;0)) .........Gary Chuck, didn't know/remember that your were into magnetic media.... I took my signature down tonight for the first time. Neat as it was, it was getting to long... But perhaps you knew that I was also a collector of R to R pre-records played on my Teac ;0)

Now that you’re awake Duder…venture over to RTM thread. we’re spinning some YES in memory of Chris Squire.

Happy 4th of July to my C&C buds! A present for you ! (thank you weather.com) http://www.venus.com/products.aspx?BRANCH=23~3795~

Very true Dennie, I was just thinking of him yesterday and it reminded me of the picture of him in the clubhouse in Hope. I was thinking how it could have been (and I hope it wasn't) uncomfortable for his daughter to come and meet some of us in Hope. Everyone here has great respect for your dad, if you were to go back and read many of his post you can see why we felt this way about him, truly a nice guy. It was a pleasure to meet both of you, you are braver than me for eating that pepper, your crazy but glad your ok, and it was with good intentions. I think you covered your dad's wish way past what he could have ever expected on that subject. He may be gone but only in person.

more Sweet Summer Rain!!!

I know parts of Texas have gotten a whole lot of rain lately. We, here in the Pacific Northwest are having one of the best summers on record. In June we have 23 days of NO RAIN and about 10 days where the temperature hit 90. Highly irregular. And July is taking off where June left off. Everyday so far has been above 90 with not a single cloud in the sky. Keep in mind, in this part of the country our average # of 90 degree days barely breaks into double digits for the whole summer and we've already exceeded that. Also, a couple local communities have begun water conservation efforts. Practically unheard of in these parts. Not much snow pack this past winter to feed the rivers.

Well glad your back, Ok this is the deal, I know it's the 4th of July but try really hard to NOT blow anything up. 1 You still live in town, and to make that worse it's in California where you almost need a permit to breath ! 2 The neighbors probably think your a little crazy already ? 3 The Mia neighbor may just go over the edge and shoot up the whole neighborhood ? see I've been thinking about this.

Love it.

Fred’s talent was even more evident when you hear how so few can sing his songs and do them any justice at all. I saw Adam Lambert perform with them last summer, and I admit--he was very good. Other than him, the only other person that i thought did well was George Michael. I suppose Marc Martell could do a decent job (he won the job singing in the Queen Extravaganza…Roger Taylor saw his video submission and said it was a no brainer to pick him. Let me see if i can find that video….here’s his audition--it’s really good.

Thank you Dennie for remembering my Dad today, and everyday. I know he lives on here in the Forum.

Kanye why is he even somewhat popular ? 0 talent ?

No Wife = Happier Life

Too bad they don't know how popular the Outer Banks of NC are this time of year....with sharks that is........hahaha!

Morning folks. Impressive performance Gary and your love for your work shines through Thanks for thinking of your forum buds with the photos and link. I knew Dave wouldn't want to miss it so I messaged him (not to be confused with massaged) Welcome back Mark.....you were missed. Hope things are going well with Marvel and wife. Got the 42 year old R2R spinning some tunes through the newly hooked up Quicksilver preamp. Sold the Blueberry Extreme with Cream and 6H30 super tube this week. A mighty fine preamp with Mark's upgrades. LF still in W.VA..... Raining here so no bike riding and no grass mowing . Breakfast with 3 other old geezers done as is coffee (Mayorga) and Jake's walk. Cheers Ladies and Gents

Well hello there, its been a while. I have been lurking and reading when I can. Haven't had much time to post. Looks like everyone has been busy, from Garys convention, to Tarheel's G.M. Diet, to Carl's whole house remodel. Joe I hope you get that car running, I'm sure you'll get it figured out. Sounds like Mark has been helping the farmers some more. Marvel glad to hear your wife is doing well. Hope she continues to improve. Well folks back to the grind, as things don't stop around here. I remember when I first had my daughter 12 years ago, my neighbor told me that my kids will keep me busy. Oh boy was he right about that. If its not sports, its some sort of model, or band, or anything for that matter. But these are memories I will cherish and continue to enjoy. After coffee its to the store, I know Dtel, and MKP love going to the store. But I have to get a brisket, ribs, stuff for salads for the second biggest celebration tomorrow, that we have. We will gather some fireworks, clean the garage(ugh I don't want to clean the garage). Then by 11 tonight I will have the brisket on the Ugly drum Smoker. I have to hurry and get back home so I can park at the dead end of the street, before everyone else does. Got to run fellows, take care.

Morning Gang I wish to Thank those many emails of support during my break. Being my only Audio forum out of the other three, i do not wish to give up easy. It has been pointed out to me we all have our "Weasels" be it here or out in life. And that is all i will say about that. It's been warm here and not letting up, 80 in the cave, 50% Humid. After a couple cups of coffee (out of the Duggans) it's Ant patrol time again, currently holding them at the property line. These little black ants are on the attack for water, not sweets or grease ants, every time it heats up, they come. Top of the day to you all. And have a safe 4th.

This is how it's done, dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwN6dPNXklg

These low pass flybys never get old!

Those videos are addicting, every time I watch one it turns out to be 20 minutes looking at other videos.

Help me understand…are these commercials scams or is it the heart-wrenching presentation that is objectable?

Sarah McLachlan is banned from playing on any of my systems because of those...

One could tell he was a class act just by his posts on here. Always the voice of reason, he seemed unshakeable. RIP my friend.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on those peppers in detail as I brought them and did not get the nerve up to try one myself. You have spunk lady! I wish your dad had been around to meet those of us that only had the good fortune of meeting him online here. Roger

He couldn't even hold Freddy Mercury's microphone, but I am sure Freddy could have taught him how.

Freddy was one of the best for sure...... Saw Queen back in 1980. and yes it was one of the best show's I ever saw.. I was a big Queen fan. I would wear my Queen T-shirts to school. I remember the day that Freddy died....man that was a sad day......he was one of the great one's... MKP :-)

Freddy probably would still be rocking on a regular basis, but I think he would be seriously into singing opera.

I feel a cook out coming on with some good music

The C7 is in IA. The KLF's are with ZEUS121996 in IL, I believe.

Mercury was a Parsi born in the Sultanate of Zanzibar and grew up there and in India... His father worked for the British consulate and the family moved to the UK. Freddy became the consumate Englishman and is very highly revered in the UK and throughout the Commonwealth to this day.

I saw Queen live 4 times, late 70s, early 80s, always the best show of the year. I liked how the mixed it up….part of the show in the gowns and capes playing the softer stuff, then a wardrobe change into black leather and rocked the place.

Bunch of dirtbags, it's popular here so they never put it on sale, I'm addicted every time I try coffee without chicory it taste bland to me, guess I have cheap taste buds, they like the filler.

Totally agree! Freddie was the MAN!

Glad you're back Mark! We missed you!

best concert I ever saw......queen/thin lizzy....univ of md. cole field house.....way back when. didn't have to worry aboot rude people either......I was one of them!

He looks fabulous.

Good morning denizens. Community Coffee was on half price so I am trying their dark roast signature blend as a change. It's pretty smooth and rich, not bad at all. Enjoy your weekend! Don't forget the big game on Sunday. USA USA USA...

Got to see Queen back in 1980, I was 17, fresh out of high school. I couldn't talk any of my friends into going "their loss"....This was one kick *** show that I'll never forget.
