    Yeah; big fan of Kiko ... OOPS; thought you were referring to Keiko (Matsui). Big fan of hers; saw her live several times :)

  2. OK; tapes are 7 inch, 4-track.

     

    Included:

    Chicago - Original (In the Country / Fancy Colors / etc.)

    Chicago Transit Authority, Volume 1 (Does Anybody Really Know)

    Chicago Transit Authority, Volume 2 (I'm a Man)

    Chicago at Carnegie Hall, Vols I & II (It better End soon)

    Chicago III (Sing a mean Tune Kid)

    Chicago V (Saturday in the Park)

    Chicago VI (Feeling Stronger Every Day)

     

    more to list shortly

     

  3. Well; in case you missed it ... shipped my Teac X-1000R R2R and UPS destroyed it (and of course no refund). Also shipped a box of tapes. So; trying to recoup some of my losses :( 

     

    Thirteen (13) prerecorded 7 inch tapes in their boxes. Chicago Transit Authority/Chicago (7x), Blood Sweat & Tears (4x), Santana (1x) and Joe Cocker (1x). Will add titles to this as soon as I get them "back" (later today).

     

    These tapes normally sell for $15-$35 on FleaBay. Haha, will do them for $130 (i.e. $10 each - but not interested in selling them "one by one." PayPal is fine. Estimate shipping at about $20 - will bill you for this after I ship them. Bought these tapes after I got a couple of R2R's - played maybe 2 of them; never listened to the rest :(

    Note; also have 10 inch tapes, 5 with metal reels. And a set of new hubs (don't know if they can be used on non-Teac machines). Will post these later :)

    I've been eyeing the star wars At At...

    Finished the X-wing fighter :)  First hour was fun, then it became a pain in the a$$ as there are 4 wings that are almost identical - but the instructions do just one by one by one by one. Too much repetition for me (at least I did the last 2 wings simultaneously).

     Haha; could never do the Titanic with TWENTY TIMES the pieces :) 

     

    Actually, think Lego's were more fun 50 years ago when one had to use their imagination to come up with designs :)

    but I ain't firing a horn from a Klipsch tower directly into my ear at a 90 degree angle from 2' away,

    Yeah; tried a setup with Heresy's up front, tower surrounds and CW's in the back. Room is only 16' wide and the tower horns absolutely were "too much."  Switched to dual RC-7's up front and RB-75's in the rear - and "forgot" about side speakers - note; this my TV sound system only :) 

     

    So; unless you have a VERY WIDE room, I do not believe it is recommended.

    MAYBE someday I will be bored enough to try and assemble them

    Haha; intrigued. Haven't played with Lego's for 50+ years :) So; bought Luke Skywalker's X-wing fighter - only 474 pieces vs the 9090 on the Titanic :)

  7. Yeah; seller just wants money ... and does not even want to provide Klipsch with a copy :)  And; $113 to ship a $20 Express envelope? Question ... if "you" had these, would it not be the honorable thing to do to give these to the Klipsch museum? 

     

    Ad-on ... send the seller a note to donate them to the Klipsch museum. Haha; maybe if enough of us do he will "rethink" it and do the right thing :)

  8. Awesome :)  One slight correction ... he did NOT invent binary counting; mostly accredited to Leibniz (circa 1700), but (quote from Wikepedia) "we owe the groundwork of today's computing (edit i.e. binary) not to Leibniz but to the Englishman Thomas Harriot and the Spaniard Juan Caramuel de Lobkowitz (1606-1682), whom Leibniz plagiarized." Williams constructed the first electronic binary counteR - a really amazing feat.
