Ausi

going back to the early 1970's for these photographs of mine...    

thank god... no one wants an Oris.

My mom owns a 1955 Raw model. My dad bought it way back when and well, it mainly been sitting unused in the living room corner since he passed 20 yrs ago. It won't match the look, but it will match the components. In Ohio.  

I've also got 2 of them, and I second this.

Someone, in my area put a pair in the dumpster, i ad kindly adopted them, they are in bad shape, but nothing serious that sandblast wouldn't resolve. But was it worth it, to save them, they seams DIY to the correct spec with the second drawing i see here, the Karlson   what do you thing, give them a refurbishing new life? for my second system?

I wonder how long it’ll take. 

If you were around the 4th turn area in the late 70s, early 80s and saw a huge scaffolding platform around 20' tall, that was probably my older brothers doing. He did that every year for 10 years. They finally told him "NO".    Those were crazy times for sure, people smoking weed out of giant bongs, "show us your Ti*s" signs everywhere, and the cops just let it all happen. Very enlightening for a teenage boy. Being around 600k+ people and half of them partying, some never even knew there was a race going on.   It's completely different now, only about 325K people, and it's family friendly. You can even choose your own style in Glamping.   My brother is a spotter for Helio, he's going for 5 wins there.

Nice pair right there.  Should sound pretty sweet.  GLWS brother! 

In prolly 25+ years of shooting the race that "magical" window usually showed up;.  Sometimes though, ya just wound up sittin in the car in the infield.  It was always just a lil laff when I heard it.    What a fun, crazy place the corner of 16th & Georgetown Road is during the month of May.  Worked my rear off out there totin gear, seeing the same shooters every year but the friendships made still exist.  One of the guys just called this morning and asked if I was coming out.  He calls every year just to get caught up and laff,  He's done too so we'll have it on TV.  1245 on NBC Suuuunnnnndaaaaay!  Who knows if it's DST or EST or whatever they're using in the great state of IN.  lol   We both decided if we ever go back they'll have to honor us by letting us drive the pace car.  You EVER get the chance GO.  Put it on your bucket list for sure.  It IS the greatest spectacle in racing!       Guess who's running sound?  KLIPSCH of course!   @Travis In Austin there's a Museum membership thought for ya.  4 tickets for race day in Indy!  That's totally outta the box or is it?
