  1. Solid State hard drives are awesome and worth the money if you have it to spare.
  2. Duder, that is similar to the jig i made, i just clamp the sheet to the jig and run the jig & panel right through..
  3. Look at the last segment, notice how he BBQ'd the panel. 4:30 or so on the timer.
  4. If you cut 31 on the left side with a miter gauge, you get the 59 degree cut. Explain, I'm not following you here. I think what he means is if you flip the stock over so the back is up and run a 31 degree cut, when you flip it over you have a 59. OK i get it, running a cut like that freehand is asking for binding & kickback unless you make a jig for it. Not freehand. Use the fence for both cuts. You simply make a 31 degree cut and flip the board over and send it through again on the other side. Now you have a 31 on one side and 59 on the other. Once the blade has cut the the angle on the sheet there's nothing holding up the panel past the blade thus making it susceptible to binding not to mention keeping your cut straight. I see what you're saying but unless your sheet is attached to a jig of some sort its asking for trouble. It cab be done i guess but there have been better/safer alternatives mentioned.

  7. As long as the gauge of wire is heavy enough for the task i would not worry about it. Think of all the feet of 14 gauge solid copper wire running your homes circuits let alone whats feeding it. The last 6 feet or so you run from the outlet to your amp should make no difference. I wired a guys entire house in 12 gauge wire because he insisted on having it, this was to all the standard 15 amp standard circuit of course. Nothing wrong with going up one gauge of wire but it just was not needed. Im sure the man's refrigerator or microvave worked no better with it.
  8. The problem is the 59 degree cut, most saws only cut 45's. I would cut the 59 first, more chance to make a mistake, leave your panel wide in case you mess up so you're not wasting stock. The 31 degree cut is an easy one. There are saws that cut steeper angles but they may be more expensive. These worm drives last forever.
  9. To make it easy on yourself buy, rent or borrow a circular saw that can cut your angle, they are out there or will get close enough to get you through, 1 or 2 degrees can be filled with PL and never be noticed, Clamp a factory plywood edge on your panel to use as a straightedge & guide. If i was cutting only a few panels this is what i would do instead of making a jig or whatever. Something like this will get you by safely.
  10. I would keep an eye out for a used NAD receiver or integrated amp. The older Luxman models are nice if you can find them for a reasonable price. The older silverface Pioneer SX, Marantz 22**, Sansui G, ETC are decent sounding units, if you can find one thats been serviced for a reasonable price it would be worthwhile.
  11. I have a 780, bought it for $50 years ago and sounds great. It needs a recap but anything that old will need one if it has not been done. Mine is a workshop workhorse running some old 4 way 12" white van speakers. For $150 i would pass, if its super clean & been recapped and serviced recently maybe its worth it if you really like the unit. The 780 is a decent receiver but for $150-250 range there are better options out there.
  12. Pentium D will run Windows 7 but don't expect speedy processing, i would recommend a minimum of 2 Gb of memory. Careful buying used operating systems, it must be the retail version. Buying & reusing a OEM version can result in huge fines if you get caught.
  13. What kind of hardware are you running ? Upgrading your OS may not be the best idea if your computer is severely outdated. There is freeware to replace your MS word if cash is tight, Newegg usually has operating systems for $100 bucks or so.
  14. That would be perfect but he said he was looking for something smaller than a RW10d. Oops, didn't catch that. Yeah the 24" THT may be slightly larger than the RW10
  15. Buy Claude's THT for sale in the garage sale section, you would have to spend 1000's of dollars to get anything near the performance level of the THT and for $500 its a steal of a price.
  16. Nice grain pattern on the Oak, the Belle clones look great.
  17. Check out Freightquote for shipping, if you can to dropoff & have your buyer pickup at their local terminal prices are very reasonable. I have spent alot of time looking into shipping large items for my business and this is the best option as far as price i have found.
  18. I just signed up on fleabay myself to sell my Oak Table Tuba demo model so not everybody with no history should be considered unworthy of buying or selling something. Hope everything works out. Fleabay selling prices are outrageous, why do they need to take everybody to the cleaners ? Greedy business practices and greedy people just pi$$ me off.
  19. man jason your right there in chi town. few hours away..wife and i spend time there and around cook co frequently. christmas we spent a week. sometime would be neat checking out a bill fitzmaurice design or 2 that you may have. iv heard danleys and the unstable cv earthquakes and other popular pa designs although no tht's or these ultra premium highly rated table tubas etc...I have 2 18's in my room and would struggle to fit one in my rooms right now yet in about a year we are moving into a townhome 3 times the size were in now...man, we just signed another year lease and though cost of living here is very modest i have to walk sideways through this duplex lol not really though farely close... thought about asking before. there are a couple other active forum members that are between you and i as well...your more than welcome a visit to ft wayne if your near...steak dinner included My son totaled my car a while back so I'm without wheels, traveling is not an option right now unfortunately. I have a couple Table Tuba's completed that you could check out, you're welcome to come by anytime.
  20. Hard to believe these have not sold yet. I would take them myself for a future project but money's tight right now.
  21. Update the caps in the crossover and leave stuff alone if it sounds good. Wire upgrades wont help. Buy the Crites kit if you can handle the task if not let him do the work. If you feel the need to change the midrange diaphragm do it, it can always be changed back if you're not happy.
  22. Pace medium is my favorite. I tried many others but none stack up to pace.
  23. The Dayton subs are pretty good, cheap too. Get two for your space. Dayton subs
  24. Very nice horns, good luck with your sale.
  25. Good thing you were wearing a helmet, brain splatter is not a good thing. Glad you came out unharmed. Wish my son would wear a helmet while skateboarding, dam kid never listens to me. Lots of U-Tube videos under Jeff Stromberg if anybody's interested.
