Not a problem, Rich.
The kids and grand kids gladly handle these chores for me.

P.S.
No way will I let them near my Victrola/Gramaphone collection.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think I am starting to get an insight, as to why you are so opposed to new
things, like auto engines in airplanes.

The way I see it, you are so stuck in the past with old technology, that you
think recordings should be on a cylinder, instead of a disk. (of some type)

Wow.

Thanks for helping me clear this up, just a little. {;-)

As usual, Morgans...
Yer lights are on, but nobody's home.

The Pietenpol and Model A engine
were a match made in heaven.

Wish you were there. g

DVDs? That's at least two or three generations of technology too recent
for you, Unk.

Hey UNK
My #3 Son who retired from the USAF a few years back is an old radio and
victrola buff.He's got a couple of neat victrilas and even has one that plays a
drum style recording. He repairs old car radios for car builders who want their
49 Plymouth radio playing like new. He gave me a 1949 Crosby radio that I play
my radio classics thru and there's something about the smooth sound that tube
radios give that's hard to beat. Nothing better then Burns and Allen or Jack
Benny on a cold winter night.The lights are low and the Shadow comes on or
Suspense spooks ya. The new TV shows pale compare to them oldies us oldies like
:-)

OOps time for the Great Gildersleeve brought to us by Prell...The Shadow had a
story about an airplane caper last week so this post fits LOL!!

See ya

Nefoo Chuck

Eat any Paczki today? I had a nice poppy seed and a hot cup of coffee for ash
wed breakfast...ahhh

My son is a bit of a high-tec audio video buff, with majors in these areas.
He tells me that some high end systems are starting to include a couple
tubes to get rid of the "tinny-ness" of all digital sound recordings and
playbacks.

If y'all ever make it to Bellingham, Washington, there's the American Museum of
Radio and Electricity. Basically, two ex-Microsofties who liked to collect old
electronics set up a museum. Absolutely great place if you like old technology
(and who doesn't :-).

Anyway, on one of my visits, they actually cranked up a Victrola for us.

I was floored. Not only was that beast LOUD, the quality was surprising good,
too. Oh, of course, not as good as something from the '50s or so, of course.
But for NO electronics, just a wiggling needle and a really, REALLY big horn, it
did pretty well.

Thought I saw BOb's initials scratched on the bottom... :-)

When BOb says "DVD", he's referring to "Dichroic Viewmaster Disks."
