Our issue wasn't with the renewal of our wildcart cert (that was done weeks ago), it was with the verification process they have in place. Won't go into more details than that. We're set though, thanks.
Thanks for your efforts.

A bit dusty, but otherwise un marred.

I have seen a few within a days drive of San Diego in the past year. Not too many "deals", but they are available. The discount gained by driving farther may not be worth the gas.

Someone help me by tying my treatise to Elden somehow. Does he sing? write music? Please don't tell me he's a dancer.
Master “D” has disclaimed dancing. He plays a wicked cool living room system.

It is a rather high cost of living locale so some of that is reflected. Dunno if there is demand at that price point. If you are patient and can drive there are cheaper alternatives.

I'm only allowed to send "0" messages per day. I think if I keep chiming in on my own post here I might garner enough seniority to private message.

I would be leery of wetting the cone too much. Some others with restoration experience may have more precise recommendations.
I do advise wearing an good mask and eye protection and latex/vinyl or nitrile gloves when cleaning areas contaminated with rodent droppings. In my part of the country the rodents carry various viruses (Hanta; West Nile; etc.) and these may be transmitted by the urine and feces.
Enjoy the ‘Scalas!

It's more so to weed out the cheap people! what's the big deal if the starting bid is a penny or 300k on my auction and no reserve either way it doesn't have a reserve.. If the first bid was a penny would that still be a reserve since someone has to bid on it first? I guess I'm lost why my auction your so concerned about are you thinking of bidding? If so send me your ebay name and I will send you a private offer. If your just concerned with my ebay auction and trying to ruin someone's day or just bored please move on ty.... There will be stuff you read on the internet that you don't like read it and move on... Good day to you and best of luck
Sir:
I do not think dese guys are out to bust yer chops, it’s some of us are a bit pedantic. I’ll not be bidding because

Dave:
There are several members who have demonstrated superior skills at both new construction finishing and restoration.
- @CECAA850 Has built and veneered many cabinets and his posts detail how to avoid many procedural and technique errors.
- @longdrive03 has restored many Heritage speakers with stunning results. His posts have you follow his progress, and are less instructive for beginners, but the results are spectacular.
- @Matthews has done more that one la Scala restore with high end furniture results. He is spending more time restoring automobiles lately, but if he drops in and engages he has mad skills.My skills top out at applying Watco or Danish oil, but there are many experienced members here, and they will probably be jumping in soon with ideas and resources. Enjoy the forum!

This was over 40 years ago, I have no idea what it is called today ?
All we did was cut plates into whatever the blueprints called for and fit them into place. The fitting into place was the hard part, it's not easy to pull and bend a thick plate to the shape neeed. The rake on the front is the hardest with the most severe curves, your not allowed to heat anything up to bend it, it just has to be pulled intp shape with many big 12 ton come-alongs as they are called. I mostly worked on 180' supply boats (picture) and for a while we worked to build the New York, Statin island ferry's.
Ive ridden that boat. Yay, me!

Beaters, but a good price in the current market.
Thanks for the heads up.

Gentlemen:
I present for your perusal an article from a French periodical regarding protests painted on the parkways which are paths for the peloton during the Tour de France. In honor of the alliterative title of this thread, I have re-titled the piece “Peloton, Protests, Politics and Pen-isis. It reminds me of some tasks I was given when I was in the Army.
Note: While I support the enjoyment of our Bill of Rights, I do not condone defacing private or public structures. Graffiti can be a powerful tool for social awareness and positive change, but ask before ya paint someone’s fence.

Unruly shrubberies beheaded.
Five mesquite trees pruned. Three of them savagely.
Tomorrow I play the Lone Ranger:
🎼🎶To da dump, to da dump, to da dump, dump, dump!🎵
The tree you can’t see behind the white shed, was dealt with harshly. It had overgrown into two neighbors yards (fouling pool filters with the tiny leaves) and was threatening the shed. It has since learned better manners.

Chandler school district upgraded some auditorium sound systems and My bid won the auction of the old kit. I’m keeping most of the amps, but after I make sure the lights come on, the live performance gear will be available.
