  1. would have been nice to show off the finished restoration project in my living room tho,
  2. As my wife pointed out, might be better to try to buy an empty box for the 64, its days of ever looking good are long gone. I will say it sells over 500, partially because of average used price and people getting caught up in the bids not thinking of rebuild costs.
  3. I had to look at cost to buy is around $1300 to $1800 range for these used. Its about $100 fuel for the 640 mile round trip plus a full day of my life taking off work to sit in traffic to get them if I won. I set $300 for 3 new grills, $300 for cherry planks for rebuild of cabinets. $100 for finish stain and lacquer. that didnt leave a lot of room for the Ebay bid before it got too expensive to do it (correctly) and too many people forget the labor is worth something. Please correct me if my figures are off here. but decided to let it go and wait for better deal on a 63 or 83 upgrade. there is no hurry
  4. just got over bid My max was set to 160 for this project, I am out, go for it, good luck...
  5. 102.50 is mine thank you. I figure I am less than 2 hours form Indy I can get parts and make this a winter project to rebuild cabinets if I have too, wife asked if I am sell the BR35 I told her they will replace the RS41 we have for rear.
  6. thanks for posting, I cant resist a project like this one... will take me a while but sonically will be a major upgrade
  7. they claim 13 Hz, here are the specs jjptkd asked for.. https://www.svsound.com/products/pb16-ultra
  8. I am in Ft Wayne, may I be is assistance ?
  9. this may be off the wall; but when I first added my SW-115 I had some rattling, found out it was a storm window. After adjusting the position of the bass cabinet, it went away. My point is not all rattles are directly from the speaker.
  10. for what its worth I just got my 636 back from repair, becaue it kept turning itself off, some times after only 40 minutes of use. I get it home, and got everything conected and when I ran the room correction program, it gets to the side surround speaker and POP stops working, its off to repair again, I wonder how many times they cobble a fix before I get a refund, I am not happy, this 636 was a replacement for the 608 that melted on us... and we have had this about 6 months

    http://www.sciencedump.com/content/weird-speaker-effect-optical-illusion have to admit its cool
  12. just a FYI, I play a Ken Smith 5 string, have Ampeg SVTs into 10 and 15 inch speakers. At one sound check, we did not know that someone had turned the power up on the amps for the subs for the mains. The drums were not ready for the sound check yet, so they had me go first, I then found out what 35,000 watts and 130+bd of bass sounded like, it was painfull, but something I will never forget either.
  13. from my experiance in broadcasting, we used a multi band compression, meaning the lows (and other frequency bands) are each being processed individually from each other. AXS-TV vs VH1 is a good example of how dif engineers do things in dif ways.
  14. the Cybermen told me you first need to be upgraded
  15. IBEW Electrician, on the side I am a bladesmitth/blacksmith and author of a book on the subject.
  16. now if you bring back the RF63 and/or RF83 in series III ..... I may be willing to sell a kidney for them hmmmm
  17. you are lucky that stopped the performance before the girl started her screaming sessions not sure a human would survive her screeches at 2700 watts.

    Moving on

    I will miss you Miss Amy, and as my UK friends would say,,, God save the Queen.
  19. outdoor BBQ is always fun. Blue Oyster Cult is playing tomorrow night near-by in Warsaw also its a free show I dont care if I do have to be up for work at 5am the next morning either BBQ and BOC lol.
  20. This seems like a typical thread from another forum I hang out at. As a bladesmith I have my own opinions about what blades should and should not be. Most of the brands mentioned I have experiance with, and they are fine blades. I disagree about 304 as a blade steel tho. 304 it is not used for any serious blades, only for the bolsters and other knife hardware. As for the choice of stainless or high carbon steels... my experiance has caused me to feel that the material a maker uses is not as important as much as the heat treat being correct for that steel chosen, and the angle of the cutting edge. Personbally I prefer high carbon for most things, but that is due in part because I do my own heat treating and most stainless steels are a pain to heat treat, so I hire them to outside sources. A good blade should not need sharpening very often if cared for properly. As already covered, simply hand wash and dry, then place them in a good place, Not in a dishwasher then into a pile in a drawer to have the edges abused. One brand not mentioned is Onterio. I have a few that have been in my kitchen many years, and they have served me well.
