hey Dr. Gary, are those the zebrawood cw's????????? Thems purdy; much nicer than the black and white stripes i had envisioned. Happy New Year.

Scott, i am sending an email to you re these. Patrick

those are very nice, very nice indeed. ditto the comment on the glass tops with the plastic disc spacers.

Dave, responding only to the title, not the substance of the post . . . . Marty may occasionally be misguided or misinformed, and on very RARE occasions he might even be led astray by those tantalizing twins (the man is only human, for goshsakes), but I am told that Thebes has NEVER been wrong.

RBC Centura Bank: Lagrange-Lee's Crossing - www.rbccentura.com 1417 Lafayette Pkwy, Lagrange - (706) 845-5025 Lorenzo, call the bank, speak to the manager, explain the situation and see if she or he will confirm the money was transferred to that account, and that it is in todd's name. They may be reluctant to give much information over the phone, so you may have to have your bank do it. As others have said, it may be that the ebay acct was hijacked . . .. maybe not. See if you can follow the money, always try to follow the money . . . .

Lorenzo, did the email you got from the supposed seller come thru ebay, or did you get a separate email address for him???????????

Lorenzo, I believe his telephone number is area code (706) 837-0477. Give him a call and ask what is happening. Public records indicate both he and his wife Elizabeth (Beth) are 40 years old, and apparently still own the house on Oakmont. Recent assessed value of property and house was $129,000.00. I do not find any cross reference to relatives in Biloxi, Mississippi.

. . . . . he may claim to be the BOSS at work, but he ain"t wearing the PANTS at home . . . .

Surprise speakers, 30 years and 20,000 posts all in one day . . . WOW!!!!! Mr. dtel, you be one of the luckiest guys out there; congrats to both you and your charming better half. Another 6 weeks and my "current" wife (and my only, but it keeps each of us on or toes) and i will also be celebrating our 30th; i still don't know why she has put up with me for so long, but thank the good Lord she has! I am pretty darn sure there won't be any surprise speakers coming to my house . . . . . . .

Hey buddy, welcome to the downhill slide!!!!!!!! Just remember,, you're still on the right side of the grass. As the prostate goes (or doesn't), as the memory goes, as sex goes, as the bones ache . . . . . just keep telling yourself " yeah, I'm still on the right side of the grass!" . . . . . Now that I've cheered you up, go have a great day . . . . . . . . Patrick

So, Dean, are you ready to make more x-overs, thereby generating $ to do either more repairs or buy back some stereo gear?????????????? If so, let me the first customer . . . .

I sent him an email a few weeks ago (didn't know he doesn't like them) and haven't heard, BUT then in looking at some of his posts i saw where he said he was taking a hiatus to work on the house for awhile. Hope he gets that done so he can play more here with us.

On a more serious note, I have not yet updated my x-overs in my 2nd pair of CW's but i will be soon. My pair with the updated x-overs sound better than the unrestored ones. I am undecided on the tweeter issue. I think alot of people update the x-overs to replace the deteriorating parts so as to restore the original sound. Many others are trying to upgrade the x-overs to improve the sound per their perception.

"I have two sets of 1884" I think that was even before PWK started giving them serial numbers, but I am pretty darn sure yours are the oldest on the forum. Just teasing ya . . . . .

Gregg, the best prayers and wishes from my family to yours. Hope all is going well. As the father of 4 "little girls" and a "young bride" that I've had for the past 29 years, I know how special the women in our lives are, I just don't understand why they put up with us. Patrick

Larry, if you go to the very top of the screen, right hand side, surrounded in black, it should have your name, and next to it a button for "Edit Profile". Click on that and the put it into the Signature Box that appears . . . . . . I think.

gla, WOW, i just read your comprehensive history. very nice. thank you for a lot of work. it is much appreciated. patrick

tony, depending on the value of your second car, maybe you ought to looka t new ones. I would be interested in seeing pictures of the labels with the serial numbers; something sounds fishy. Oh yeah, his spelling is worse than my punctuation.

. . . . . and even us manly types know that pink is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David, i think all wish you and your family the best and will pray for the blessings of the Good Lord be upon your entire family as you journey thru this venture. It was at times like this that my inability to control the situation and fix it challenged my feelings as a father and supposed protector of my children, but i was never the one in control anyway; it is all up to Him and His plan . . . . but i often wish He would give us a little more insight into His "big picture" for all of us. Sophia and her sisters look very sweet; you are already thrice blessed. My family will have yours in our prayers.

kinda of a rag-tag bunch (with 2 exceptions) . . . . but the first pair are Verts . . . . . .

Steveo, I lack the brass knockers to even WALK on those ledges. If the backpacks were a bit larger I would have guessed they were parachutes . . . but they look way too small for that. Cliffs of Mohr/Mohair???

Yeah, but in a GOOD way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. I think he spells it Allan . . . . .

After college i rode a World Voyageur, but that was last century. Earlier this summer I test rode Trek, Scott and Lemond . . . . eventually getting the Lemond Zurich, carbon fiber, Ultegra group, Shimano pedals . . . . . and some revealing spandex to amuse those on the side of the road. Have a variety of routes 12, 15 and 18 miles that we bounce back and forth on to change the topography and views. Not ready for the Tour yet, but enjoying pedaling my butt around town! not too bad for an old fart, even if i do say so myself.

. . . . and i thought he was a doctor . .. Many months ago i had the pleasure of meeting Gary in person, along with Mr and Mrs Songer, Scott and his son . . . they are all great people. In our private chats i learned things about his wife and kids (and he re mine) but he talks little of himself. As you correctly observed, his actions speak volumes about what an all-around good guy he is. I agree wholeheartedly about wishing he were a neighbor, or at least lived a few thousand miles closer. OK, enough buttt-kissing . . . .but he is "good people"
