Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Speaking of rescue, we rescued this cute little kitty the 18th. I'm returning from the mail box around 7:30pm, its dark out, 10f degrees, and it latches onto me in the garage. It scared me.
Called non emergency police, they notified animal control who picked it up. It had a chip and the owners were notified and they picked it up.

Re: You’re doing it wrong…
Heck most of the apartments I lived in as a young fellow had basements and I had access to them. My second apartment in 77 I turned the basement into my first man cave-listening room. It was a walk in basement complete with a beer fridge, Marantz receiver with large Advents, exercise equipment and a spot for my motorcycle and all my tools.
We did live in a place for a couple years later on that was on a slab. Those floors being ice cold in the winter was one of my least favorite memories of that place.

1937 Philco Radios
I have inherrited my grandparent's old Philco 37-650 from 1937. It has sat for many years unused. My aunt passed away in August, the house is being emptied to sell and I couldn't see this radio going to waste. It was dirty as he-double-toothpick and I was amazed how it cleaned up with vacuuming and some very dilute mild dishsoap. The cabinet need a little work and I'm hoping I can bend Jesse's ear for some advice.
I am not sure if it works yet and am refraining from trying to power it up without a dim-bulb tester. I have also read that the caps should be replaced before even trying.
I am also inherriting my dad's old Philco 37-60, also from 1937. He has had this since he was a young man in Fells Point, dabbling in electronics. He restored it a number of years ago. Before he passed away in November (tough year), he told me that it still works.
Unfortunately, my dad gave away his Hickok tube tester and caddy of tubes

In case the OP's not aware of it, there is a website with a smattering of Tandberg literature & catalogs (not all in English, not surprisingly).

the specific link for Tandberg stuff is:

You are a walking encyclopedia of all things audio. We are all better for it. Thanks!

Re: You’re doing it wrong…
This is true. Where my grandma lived in Arkansas, only the very wealthy had basements. The bedrock was very shallow and to have a basement they drilled, placed charges and let'er rip then cleaned up the blasted rock. This was 1977, maybe things have changed now. High water tables are also a concern.
It hasn't changed. It adds about a third to the cost of the average home in Arkansas to have a basement.
The cool thing was in the basements I seen way back then, the walls and floor WAS the bedrock. It was so cool to see the drill marks along the walls.
Cottonmouth and Rattlesnake were problematic in basements😂😂
Grandma kept a hoe next to her door going out to the carport. All it took was one rattlesnake sitting just outside her back door ONCE. She murdered that sucker about 77 times, it was well chopped up😉😜.
I remember asking her why she had a hoe next to her back door in the house. She just looked at me with that matter of fact look in her face and said, "here going out to get the paper can be deadly always look before you go out the back door". She was spunky!

Re: Review: Benchmark AHB2 Amp
It is amazing what lowering the noise floor can do. I recapped a lowly Parasound C/PT-600 and HCA-800ii with Nichicon caps and was amazed at how dark they became. I still love them in my office rig with the LSi7s.
I got a taste of Benchmark with a little DAC-1 that I found in a thrift store. It is my first experience with an external DAC and I am a ture believer now. It is also in my office rig since that is where I listen most. I am not sure how it stacks up to modern external DACs. I'd love to upgrade with the DAC-3 and would also love to try some of their amp offerings but money is the issue. Besides that, I get my jollies out of finding great deals on good stuff; cheap thrills I guess.
