When, in the late 70's my older hippy bud says to me "I should bottle and sell water" I thought he was nuts. His response was "even restaurants will be charging for water just like coffee, tea, and other beverages". BS man, we've got water everywhere. NO, the west coast is real dry man and it's gonna get worse. I'm not sure they charge for a glass of water with a meal yet, but he was acutely perceptive in many instances and his ideas were just ill timed to take economic advantage. The snow board was "invented" in my backyard, but this guy had a differing thought of mounting a skateboard to a water ski width board to have an articulating mechanism and then use simple toe holds rather than the lock in bindings they currently use. Another idea was "smart" technology where a room could know how many persons were in a given room and could adjust the temperature to their predetermined liking. He was 30 years ahead of his time in thought, but 30 years behind in funding, contact base, and persistence to bring them to market.

Not me, but my money's on an "investor". If so, you'll likely have another chance at them soon but probably in the $1200+ range if they are in decent condition. Keep an eye out for them and this time - be MORE ready.

Just a smaller scale diversion in comparison to the truck loads that leave northern Illinois headed south bound. Bottled water does have its use, but way too many now rely on it as a convenience factor. Filling a container from the household faucet, at pennies per gallon, is much more "cents-able"

Gerber is now owned by Nestle. I try to boycott them due to their VERY large scale ground water withdrawal & bottling activities. Their negative draw down of the aquifer is impacting native trout stream levels, supporting habitat, as well stressing neighboring communities well water sources.

Don't worry, the electrons will know what to do - even without implied road signs.

You tend not to miss much.

Welcome & thank you for providing pics. Since I see no pricing given, here is the link to the CL ad: https://fayar.craigslist.org/msg/d/vintage-klipsch-cornwall/6496529308.html

"that information is not available to me" That pretty much sums it up - The information "may" be available & on record, but you and roughly 328,000,000 others in this great nation are NOT going to be granted access.

A good arm swing + good foot work = increased ball speed "naturally". Many older bowlers drop weight to compensate based upon ill advise from the pro-shop. I suppose its easier, and more profitable, to sell another ball instead of giving some instruction to iron out any issues with body mechanics. In that regard, it can't be much different than golf. A $500 driver isn't going to necessarily correct a swing issue & a $200 putter isn't going to "make" the ball go into the hole.

If it is popping, the amp will need to be replaced. Might be "worth" it considering the cost of a new, like-kind. sub replacement.

https://www.pba.com/Join With a 200 average verification for 36 sanctioned games, and payment of $144 you too could be welcomed into the PBA elite as a Standard Member. But wait, why stop there? For $300 you upgrade to Full Member status and can bowl as many PBA events as you are able. Seriously, bowling still represents a great leisure time activity and if you have young ones, please introduce them to the sport. Here, open play is about $3.50 per game and $3 for shoe rental. I believe bowling may still be the largest single participant sport in the USA, but the numbers are surely dropping. To encourage youth and support the high school teams junior leagues offer kids 3 games and free shoe rentals if needed all for $7 per week. That's $2 per game, a push on the shoes, with the extra $1 going toward the season end banquet, trophies, etc. Once the smoking bans were implemented, bowling alleys got a bit more habitable. Something to do inside during the winter, and a nicely A/C'd venue in the summer.

Not me. Actually only 3 guys in our local association have ever tossed 2-300 games in the same 3 game set. Local association record for 3 sanctioned games is 877. Me - 817. meh

Those were the good ol' days <+> Brunswick Corp is within 10 miles of the house. They used to make it all - pinsetters, lanes, pins, balls, scoring, etc. Now, here, they do R&D, sales, CSR stuff. Balls are now made in Mexico and 150+ jobs went with that. If you bowl, know that Brunswick, Radical, and DV8 are all developed right here in my back yard by guys I regularly share the lanes with. Motiv balls are also made locally by a separate company, which got it's start as a ball core provider for the big B when they were still in town.

My 13yo bowled "her" first 600 series this past weekend beating dad to that accomplishment by nearly 2 years. The game has changed so much as well as the social aspect. A 220 average seems to be the new measuring stick, and many are regularly 230-240. 5-300's, 3-800's, Gold rings I don't wear, trophies that were donated long ago, and many award patches sitting in a box. 3 games a week and a 220 average - what's the point?

Not sure the 201's have the K42 https://memphis.craigslist.org/msg/d/klipsch-kp-201-speakers/6463306056.html But believe the 250's do: https://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/ele/d/klipsch-professional-kp-250/6427834765.html parts are parts are parts

Might this string assist with choices?

Thought so / I agree & congrats on your 1st. I occasionally search for another XPA-2 g2, reasonably priced, to run in mono mode. But, even they are commanding msrp prices - used. OP - GLWS.

125 wpc into 8 ohms, and non-bridgeable, correct?

Those "without"......... handles

Nice...........handles. But, I'm sure I can find another pair for less.
