  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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    Upgrading your OS may not be the best idea if your computer is severely outdated.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.

  6. 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.

    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

  7. 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.

  8. Hard to believe these have not sold yet.

    I would take them myself for a future project but money's tight right now.

    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.

  9. 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.

  10. I agree that the best setting to crossover you subwoofer would be at 80Hz however your Sub 10 will not be a great addition to your system if you crossover that high.

    If you could find a better subwoofer that would not get so sloppy sounding at higher frequencies it would make a world of difference, especially for music.

  11. Gently used but dragged behind the car to get them home because they would not fit in the trunk.

    Good project / parts purchase for the price.

  12. Mustard, onion & sport peppers on my hot dogs or chili & onions are another favorite

    Jason--you're from Chicago--what do you guys know about hot dogs? :D Actually, love a good chicago dog. Last time i went to Chicago, i couldn't wait to get off the plane and stop at the first hot dog place i could find.

    The best hot dogs in Chicago are from.

    Gene & Jude's

    Superdawg

    Paradise Pup

    Portillo's

    There are others but these are some of the best.

    The Works also makes a helluva dog, "The Works" is 2 hot dogs on french bread, different but very good.

    Their french fry basket is a meal in itself.

  13. Ketchup on French fries & Meatloaf only, Cajun fries can go without.

    Mustard, onion & sport peppers on my hot dogs or chili & onions are another favorite.

    MMMMMM Chili dogs.

  14. I was thinking the same thing but could not find any information about Kiwi containing silicone, they don't list any ingredients.

    Good idea touching up with lacquer though its not going to match perfect it will be better than a scratch or ding while protecting the wood underneath.
