  1. @Shakeydeal

    I have many friends who are huge JTR fans, and I'm sure at least a couple of them would be interested. Location will be an issue. Maybe they could work with it though. I'll be in touch with you if any trees start shaking.

    @314carpenter sucks to be me!  

    Allergies? That's what the GM at the restaurant told me he had. Can't eat any shellfish. 

    Told me that he's part of a national seafood buyer group. It will be at least 4 years before the U.S. has a sufficient crab biomass to resume Alaskan crab fishing.

    Basically the entire biomass couldn't find cold enough water to survive, so they all went deeper, then walked off a cliff, and ultimately fell down into a deep trench where they all imploded due to extreme water pressure.

     

    Sucks to be a crab!

  3. Mr. Bug Goes Two Town (1941)

     

    It took 700 people 10 months to make this fully animated feature length film. Cost was $1,000,000 1941 dollars (not adjusted for inflation). This was the second and last animated feature from Paramount Pictures.

     

    I'm one of only like 100 very fortunate people in the world who have this on blu-ray. It's a straight scan off of the original film elements of a Technicolor print.

     

    Very glad to have watched it.

  4. IMG_20230227_142159_(3100_x_1745_pixel).thumb.jpg.574faa4b8b2f0150d2f69488b0ef2b89.jpgJust received this brand new sealed still in it's original shipping box EVGA 3080ti FTW3. Going to build a HTPC using this. Intended use is for MADVR 4K dynamic tone mapping, external video processing, transcoding, and some gaming. This is for content consumed in my dedicated home theater.

     

    I have a very nice projector and screen, and I've seen first hand others who have had great success in using a similar setup. It should be a big leap for me on the video side of things, and a lot less expensive than other routes I could've taken instead. The additional complications will iron themselves out over time, and this will give me the greatest flexibility going forward.

  5. The Forte III replacement has a logo on the dustcap. That logo will end up 22.5 degrees out of level due to the mounting pattern alignment not being the same between those models. The fitment is not exactly the same either. Some material from the Klipsch Forte II cabinet will need to be removed. Also, the replacement will not fit flush like the original, due to the basket being slightly thicker. The parts department may or may not return your request for parts, a known issue. The availability of used parts on the market is currently zero, but it has been this way for many years. The passive radiator is the most commonly requested replacement part for these speakers. There has never been a direct replacement program put into place since these products went out of production decades ago. What parts were available were swept up a long time ago.

     

    If anyone wants to say any of these things are not true, please back up your comments with proof, or better yet, measurements and inventory levels.

  6. $850 each speaker. There are a total of three of these that are available for sale. Minimum order of two speakers (matching pair).

    The price commiserates the quality, market demand/supply ultimately dictates the price. I know the market on these very well. They rarely come up for sale, and when they do, boom, they are swept off the market. Regardless of how long they last, I just want to find them a good home. Will that new owner be you?

    These are like my children, and at this holiday time, it feels like I can no longer house and feed them all anymore. Please help me find a few of them a good home.

    Local Sale Only. If you need delivery, it won't be cash on delivery, and it will be just me hand delivering these directly to you, so delivery won't come cheap. PM for delivery charges.
    No original boxes, so bring plenty of blankets with you when you come to pick them up. Demos are available by PM only.

    There are no cosmetic flaws to speak of. The pictures demonstrate that very well. I will send higher quality pictures once the sale get going. All parts, cabinets, and materials are original, except for the original phenolic diaphragms, which have been replaced with Bob Crites titanium diaphragms. Originals will be included in the sale, and provided in a protected and sealed container.

    Walnut Oil finish. Nothing but the best. Ultra clear non-yellowing hard lacquer clear finish has been added to preserve them as they are now, forever. Nothing but the best.

    If you like the look, and you like the protection they provide, I have custom made 1" thick black granite tops available for each speaker.
    Add $50 per speaker if you want granite tops included in the sale. Sorry, I will not be selling any of the tops separate, as I will be keeping those if no buyer of this sale wants them.
     

     

    Text me for more pics.

    My Samsung plasma is STILL ROCKING and working perfectly. I use the 65" in my bedroom as a second and it looks wonderful for only a 1080 and less dynamic range.

    30K+ hours on my 10 year old plasma. When something gives you that kind of reliability, it's really hard to let it go. So I bought an identical one used, JIK.
