Never, Ahemm! there is a TV outlet on the wall, for when Dear old Auntie ABC runs Simulcasts (TV AND FM!) but this is NOT often. AND we have taken to watching...
-Hi Timbo, Don't get a misinformed impression of "clutter" in Ray's room. The room is brand new and, just like a brand new car, it's still neat. In the photo...
WOW! The big screen in the master bedroom? That makes me picture the casual drive-in movies of the '50s and '60s but with no mosquitoes. jim... ... In ... ...
Now these are things of beauty to us DIY'ers. A place where a man is his own boss. The place where we get things done WE want to accomplish. I may post mine...

It is pretty funny to me, that my workbench looks just like Ray's. But a lot messier right now. Almost carbon copy. Right down to details of the bracing. And...
-Hello Bob, The workbench parallels are a little scary. My bench is scratch built, resides in the basement and has a twin in the garage. Do you feel OK? Could...
Just found a two year old photo of Bob's "messey" workbench in my JEB files. I better not show it. I'm cleaning mine up before posting a photo here 8:-) Ray,...

I have spent most of my time in this group as a lurker. Thats not to say that I haven't appreciated all of the valuable info, I just haven't found that I have...
Hello Brent, Thanks for rolling that info by us. One that I've not thought to try was the roller bearings under the subwoofer, talked about here... ...

Nooooooo.... I fondly remember my dates bringing sweet lips and soft shoulders but NO quilting needles!! That's gotta hurt. One advantage is, I can now rent...
You guys are making me nostalgic for something I never actually experienced. There was an old drive-in near where I lived in the '80s, but it had already...
I know, I know, it's cluttered and worse. But I decided to post anyway. I just finished a scratch built Bottlehead Foreplay preamp, with several learned mods...
Hi Jim, Thanks for putting that photo up there. Now I don't feel like the LONE MESSY RANGER when it comes to location of electronic creations. Congrats on that...
