    What I Got Today!

    This is what I've been doing over the last few months. Moved away from woofers to bangers. Temporarily, I did find a Pioneer VSX 49 Elite at salvation army for $50 that works great just not today Still lurking Jason. Sent from my XT1049 using Tapatalk was going to post a photo of my AR15 SPR build but alas, it was epically difficult on my phone. Maybe nextime.

    When I see you guys in my Klipsch feed I come running back to look like a rubber necker at a train wreck. You guys never fail to entertain. Sent from my XT1049 using Tapatalk

    Yea, that's the plan. I'm leaning towards OEM style restore but seeing my plan is to keep it I am open for color scheme suggestions.

    What I Got Today!

    The 10th was my Cakeday and I spent it shopping lawn sales and eating sushi. My big find was a Vornado B38C1-1 fan. Now having owned a few modern Vornado's I have been on the lookout for some time in a attempt to buy a restorable vintage classic. This had been sitting all day at a lawn sale on a busy street so it must have been my lucky day! I dropped 2 digits small cash for it and ran. Speaking of running all the coils and motor run and look great. The fan itself needs paint (Mint Blue and Gray & Bronze grill paint.) someone replaced the original switch with a two way I'm ordering a new 3 way w knob a cord and rubber grommet kit from http://www.rcrescent.com/ to get the full restore going. I may decide to go with a new paint scheme, perhaps John Deere or even Klipsch seeing the final resting place will be atop of a glass covered Cornwall in my living room. Here is some background on this fan. Vintage Fifties Ames Era Vornado Electric Fan! Model B38C1-1 Manufactured by O. A. Sutton Corporation of Wichita, Kansas, USA designed by Ralph K. Odor based on a aviation inspired patent of his. Vornado fans were designed to move a high volume of air efficiently. On high this fan is designed to direct a high velocity breeze, yet on low, a soothing quiet gentle breeze. This Ames Era fan features: Heavy duty all metal construction Deep pitch 12 inch steel blade Three speed switch Stands 20 inches high by 18 inches wide Fifties Ames Era design. Letter code: C Desk fans with the letter C in their model number are the later, and most common, desk fans. They were made from 1950-1958 and for the most part had three different variations over the years. The earliest variation is recognizable by it's brass guard which has the fewest amount of rings vs the other variations. The second and third have an aluminum guard with more rings than the first one, and the third was offered in four various color schemes, traditional Vornado Green, Coral Rose, Mint Blue, or Mist Gray. 38C1 12" Circulator, brass 3 ring guard 1950-1955
  8. Time for a investment in anti spider tech! Go 2watt and never look back, remember your laser goggles! Advantages: you can be a mile away or even outside looking in the window. You can hit them faster than they can move. Disadvantages: burns dark surfaces not recommended for dark walls. I have seen a 2 watt laser fry a spider at 12' in 2 seconds.
  9. Lunch room guy, My system has 1200 watts. ME, Wow thats awesome, yea I just did a 3000 hour liquid plasma change on my plasma TV looks great now! Lunch room guy, OK, my break is over. Nice talking with you. ME, back to enjoying my lunch. WUZZER said it hide that t-amp behind your speakers or Cornwalls in my case and let em guess. In the summer I take mine out in the yard to play off the AA powered T-amp and the neighbors still call the cops for loud music. And yes the cops get a kick out of the irony but still ask me to turn it down.
  10. Jrivers gizmo always worked well for me. I currently use a Nexus 7 32 gigabyte tablet. Also I use a Raspberry Pi to run XBMC with Openelec and a few USB drives.The Rpi is connected to my Pio VSX1020 via HDMI. The tablet software is Yatse for XBMC control and VSX Remote for AVR control. I can even control my insteon lighting. Also torrenting is a breeze with tTorrent and wireless media streaming to the Pi XBMC via my wireless network using Samba droid. Anyways using HDMI audio directly to my system sounds great and XBMC supports FLAC plus many more codecs. Figure $270ish for everything at today's prices and many other uses for the tablet you end up with a great system.

    Yea some more details would be great, some thing to aspire to.
  12. I know I'm late to the party here, but I assume that you have at least one windows PC in the house, yes? My thought is enter meter data on that machine if the meter connects to it but if you want to access the program on the road and its existing data try "LogMeIn Ignition" on any iOS or I think android device as well now. I use logmein ignition now on IOS and its fast, secure & easy to access my home desktop remotely whenever. Got questions? You know how to reach me. I use diabetic software too. So basically if i'm at the doctor's office and I need numbers I can jump on my Iphone/ipad in about 1min be on my home desktop running meter software and emailing a PDF of my numbers on the spot. Keep in mind if you have any computer issues you know where I live and that's what I do. I have worked with MIDs and tablet PC's also. See Ignition for Android $19.95, https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fxq23U1mBMM
  13. Funny you asked that, the Portland Press Herald had a posting this week about local dairy farmer auctioning all their animals off due to milk prices falling again. http://www.pressherald.com/news/Small-dairies-go-under-as-milk-prices-sink-again-.html?searchterm=dairy+farmers

    Can't wait to see pictures of that room. Keep the kids away from the volume control or forfeit your hearing.
  15. When you have a chance visit a production and stage rental company and try a good quality "Gaffer's tape" and "Snot tape" commonly used for attaching color gels to lights or each other. Gaffers tape has a colored cloth base and is super tacky but comes off of walls and paint kind of like super "post-it's". I have stuck strips (to use during production) on my jeans peeled those off as needed and tacked a small 2lb light to a wall removed the tape 30min later wrapped it on a Sharpie marker to use another day. Gaffers tape is the cool city cousin Duct tape always talks about. Snot tape is like the stuff they use for sticking credit cards or Cd's to paper but in a tape roll. I use it anywhere Blue tack or Museum wax is too thick or inconsistent and of course to stick colored gels together for lighting. Give me a pair of vice grips a tube of super glue, JB weld some assorted tie wraps, self fuse tape, gaffers tape and a leatherman tool toss all that in a bucket buddy and I can fix anything!
  16. More and better pictures please I aspire to something like that.

  18. Could always add Bass transducers to seating too. I have just added a modest Bassshaker to my couch and almost have decided to replace the massive sonosub for movie use. "If your sitting" the effect is adjustable and equal to my water heater sized sub. I also use a Energy 8" powered sub to brige the gap in bass on my Cornwall's. Although they stop around 35hz I can use the small sub down to 25hz to boost musical content while about the house. Of course I'm not taking into account any room mode or boost.

    That scene always reminds me of the comedian Gallagher for some reason.
  21. Don't remember the rolloff but the software stops at 20hz so not the best for deep bass go with a EP instead but might be good for mains. HTS and AVS both have deep info on those amps.

    Looks like the butt of many a "your Mom is" joke.

    Shingles are Baad! April 2 I had a ******** balloon up to the size of a grapefruit due to a infection and cellulitis. Also not something you want to experience. The week in the hospital and a broad spectrum of IV antibiotics sucked. On the funny side, everyone at the hospital wanted a look at my personal freak show and I didn't care due to the narcotics they provided. Oh the food was actually good there, or perhaps it was the pain killers. Needless to say that ******** will never be the same. No pictures sorry...
  24. nginx is an open source Web server and a reverse proxy server for HTTP. You may have proxy settings wrong or some kind of router issue to see that message. You may even find your ISP has some Nginx server problem not related to you at all.
  25. At post or bios text screen start tapping f8 and you will end up in safe mode, try again if that attempt fails.
