A well deserved win. [D],[D]. He's a straight shooter, one that other drivers could learn some manners from, that's for sure.
ps I still don't like the new, "car of today"

Sounds like you've had one too many of these. See Dr. Roy for the cure. [D]

Must be too young to remember Lucy! Ohhhhh Rickeeee. [D]

Are these CWL or CWO as I think it makes a difference on how you restore these. If these are lacqer you'll need to do more prep work. If they are oil finish then bringing them back to life is much easier.

To add to above replies, refinishing isn't all that hard. Materials can be simple such as sanding block, sand paper, exacto knife, your choice of glue, heatset or contact and a straight edge and your in business. I've tried both glueing methods and have been more pleased with contact cement; course that's my opinion only. Look at these threads, http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/78221.aspx , http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/78617.aspx,
or search heresy reveneering and you'll find a few projects to review. Bottom line, if your refinishing "beater" speakers then you ain't hurting anything.

And as my Dynamics professor in college used to tell us students; "you aught to take to this like a chicken on a June bug"
"follow what I say now?" [D]

I'd say this myth is BUSTED! [D]

I have a JVC Pro 61" 1080p rear projection LCOS, liquid crystal on silicon, no spinnings mirrors and have been very pleased. It's only 18" deep. When I was shopping around the lcds and plasmas screens had too much reflection and in our living room we get a fair amount of sunlight that would create problems. the rear projection screen is much less reflective. It will all boil down to what you prefer so have a good idea of your viewing environment when you go shopping. I picked my set up from Tiger last year for around 2 grand. Check this web site out.

All I got to say is; you geaux SEC and GEAUX TIGERS!Now about next year, I don't neaux![D]

May it truly be a Merry Christmas to one and all and may God bless each one of you. [*]

So close by; I don't know if I can sit and watch this again! [D]

John, I hope these weren't stolen from you! I pulled the backs off and found that these have seen some heat, fire in their lives but they seem OK. I'm not sure but I'll check the EV numbers on them. They looked interesting when I found them on ebay. I ended up spending more than i expected to ship them from Birmingham, four hour drive away that cost me $92 but I'll refinish them and add them to the collection for now.

The big question is will it fly?
