Re: $15 Monitor 7Cs
It's really the clarity of dyes that give it the advantage. They give a sense of depth and movement to the wood grain when you move around the wood. On something like tiger maple it's magical really.

Re: $15 Monitor 7Cs
This is a good example of the difference between a dye and a wiping stain.

Re: $15 Monitor 7Cs
There are a number of dyes made for coloring wood. Some are a powder that you mix up yourself, some are ready to go. Some are alcohol based and others are water based. Some are meant to sprayed directly onto the wood, then clear coated while others you should add to a clear coat and spray the mix. Some are ok to wipe on.
My favorite is ILVA. It's highly concentrated and must be sprayed. Some you could probably get away with wiping are Transtint and General.
Howard's products are crap. You'll never find their stuff in a pro shop.

Re: Synergistic research orange fuses
Good point.....and you never did put the first fuses in, so you had the original fuses running after uninstall and reinstall for a while. At least a couple of weeks, if memory serves.
Thanks, Jody! $160 a bottle eh? Does that equate to $1,768.98 a gallon? No thanks.

Re: Is it just me, or…
I couldn’t tell you the last time I went inside a fast food restaurant. I didn’t even know about the ordering at a kiosk thing. Lifestyles are different, but if I’m getting “fast food,” I’m staying in my car.

There was an episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies" where Mr. Drysdale tried to entice these rich stock market men to The Commerce Bank by claiming Jed Clampett was a financial genius. When they got Jed alone, they asked him for a (stock) tip. Jed says: "You want a good tip? Plant your corn early."

Re: Is it just me, or…
In all seriousness, I travel a lot for work - 126 hotel nights last year (not counting late day trips). I enjoy finding new places often, but sometimes, at 7-8 o’clock at night after a 12 hour day, you just want something fairly decent and somewhat quick. Added to that, sometimes I just don’t have the time or energy to find a good place. PLUS, I stay in a lot of SMALL towns - Ely, Elko NV, Vernal, Tooele, Logan UT, numerous small Idaho towns, etc…
Man, if you are gonna eat out? Well then do it in style. EAT OUT!
All you need to do is look for the local brothel.
Oh, you are talking about food. Please disregard this rather informative post. I will see myself to the door.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
I can't say I remember a protracted Wollensak discussion before. 
As @SeleniumFalcon notes - the Wollesaks were pretty ubiquitous in American education for quite some time. Crown bragged that their tape machines were "built missionary tough". Wollensaks were "built language lab tough"!
Since we find ourselves on the topic
, now seems like a good time to note that the sturdy Wollensak cassette transport formed the mechanical heart (or is it just entrails) of both the Advent 201 cassette deck and a Heathkit cassette deck of roughly the same era.

(Random internet image).
I once found an Advent 201 at the dump, but all the rubber bits had transmogrified into sticky black goo, so I was loath to even attempt to rehabilitate it. I hate working on cassette transports!

Note that Heathkit wasn't as cheap as Henry Kloss, letting their customers have two meters!
