  1. All good advice, Professor, if you haven't yet gone there, try http://www.sigforum.com/ they will have all your answers and then some. My SiG's prefer a light oiling and for range work some shooter's choice red grease on the contact points (rails, barrel and hood) but for carry a light oil will do. A nice IWB should work for carry many good holster makers out there, this one is new, but has a short wait time and the quality looks good http://monicakuehnleather.blogspot.com/2009/07/iwb-gallery.html Enjoy the P6, parts are fairly plentiful and minor changes are easily done by the "average shooter" without a host of special tools, although a SiG tool is a must and depending on care, a cheap change out of springs and roll pins never hurts.

    Enjoy your new toy and keeps us informed how it works out for you.

  2. A CR-5 is an excellent deck and you can't beat the $75 price. Just remember it has a number of years since it has been made and parts and repair may be difficult. Sometimes you can find them on "the Bay" and do then yourself if handy (rubber belts tend to dry rot and gears need to be lubed). Here's a link for more information http://www.naks.com/

    Best of luck with your choice.

  3. Nice to see good quality air powered pistols and rifles are still around. My first was a Daisy 1894 lever action B-B rifle, followed several years later by a Smith & Wesson Mod. 78 .22cal pellet pistol based on their Mod. 41 Target pistol. I later upgraded to a Colt Python rotated through various semi-auto pistols and my most recent aquisition is a SiG P229 Hybrid, but I still have fond memories of learning the basics in the back yard (destroyed a perfectly good BBQ grill, much to my Dad's chagrin) with my B-B and pellet guns.

  4. My dad's Eico tuner, Sherwood integrated mono amp hooked up to a single speaker screwed to a piece of plywood and a home made grill cloth made with an old pair of "someone's" red and white flannel pj's. I think Silversport still has the Eico and Sherwood, but the pj's are long gone (I hope). [:$]

  5. Here's their web link so you can find their other theaters: http://www.classiccinemas.com/ BTW, if you sign up for their weekly e-mail updates, they will usually include a 2 for 1 ticket deal or free concession deals from time to time during the year and on your birthday. I know it's a cheezy reason, but with prices the way they are these days I'll do anything to save a buck toward new audio stuff.

    Best of Luck!

  6. Silversport,

    It's the "Old Lake Theater" you remember. Classic buys old theaters, rehabs them and outfits them with top line gear as evidenced by the Klipsch, they started out showing 2nd run films, but now have many 1st runs. The ownership believes in a "proper" theater experience, by ensuring quiet, ejecting rowdies and even offering mints on the way out, I don't go anywhere else but Classic now.

  7. This morning it's a little "Hula Bean" from Kona, Hawaii; but when I can get it, some "Blue Mountain" direct from Jamaica (the "boss and I got hooked" on it when we were there for our wedding) and the everyday stand by is Community Coffee, whole bean and fresh ground for me!

  8. Every once and a while I want to put my foot up her butt, although I think she has many more of those days with my [bs] !

    dtel,

    I couldn't agree more, my wife certainly got the short end of the stick (did I just say that?) but I wouldn't trade my audio "enabler" for anything in the world.

  9. 3K hours is about right for any projector bulb, which is what rear projection DLP and LCD units use. I just replaced my Sony bulb after 2.5 years and my Samsung one is still going strong. I'm guessing either a power problem at the outlet, not enough circulation to keep the set cool (i.e. inside of a cabinet without extra fans) or constant tv on time (read: lots of DVD's or game playing?) any of these will considerably shorten the life of the projector bulb. And while bulbs are expensive (about $200 for Sony) the picture is just like getting a new tv.

    Hope this helps.

  10. I agree with the others that Blue Jeans, etc. are quality cables, and just to add to the mix, I have been using both of these:

    http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KRY2.1M @ $10.49/meter for a low profile all copper cable and these, http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=eKs-R1 @ $39.99/meter for a silver plated copper coax style, both have worked well for me.

    Best of luck!
