I thought the same thing visiting Biltmore - the house's foundations were so impressive, especially when you consider residential homes built today will be lucky to stand up for 50 years without some major foundation overhaul.

30 years ago when I moved down here, this was a budding city.
The beaches only had crowds in the summer. There was free parking then too.
There barely were any construction codes.
I came upon slab single-story homes that got built with "black fiberboard" as exterior sheathing. I guess the corner framing was well braced at angles or they used those long 16' or 20' metal bracing straps across a bunch of studs at an angle...they had to have. Well, the builder put vinyl siding over the fiberboard...that's all.
You could throw a baseball through those walls!
I don't know how they got away with it!Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Haha...as long as you come pick it up!
The cassette decks are out-of-frame, but only a few feet awayWhere's the cassette deck?
I found those cassettes while going through some of my old stuff from the '80s.

Spent a belated birthday weekend for my wife with the family in Jim Thorpe and Philadelphia. Unfortunately we left before the show on the 18th.
My kids said I should feel right at home here...
It was like a winter wonderland! Beautiful town - looked just like a Christmas card.

Beautiful Family Al.

Beautiful!

Those were exactly the words I was going to add to my earlier post... but I demurred; feelin' perky today, I am!
Not a fan of most of the 'classic' Dual tts rekkid playas changers. Their engineers seemed to have the following mantra*:"Why use one part to perform a function if you can use fifteen?"

With "sparkle that swings", it kind of goes without saying. Hmmm...sounds like the basis for a Skinemax series. I mean...just look at those people!mhardy6647 wrote: »7Up (1965) by Bart Solenthaler, on Flickr

That poor young woman in the top photograph appears to have ricketts or something. Maybe the 7-Up's dissolving her bones...

That’s a very good ad.

I have been fascinated with that receiver since I first saw it in an old Allied catalog... I've never seen one in the flesh, and I haven't seen much chatter about them online.
They were either short-lived (i.e., not robust), or maybe just not popular. They were not inexpensive.

120 watts "IHF" is probably about 40-45 wpc (likely into 4 ohms) -- these are pre "FTC '74" ratings, needless to say

Again with a pic of the equipment you are going to use to fix this???? LOL. Just guess here though. You fixed something and this is what a good signal is supposed to look like?

I was makin' sure the scope was working properly after I saw that other waveform
I tested it with a sine wave generator. The scope is fine.
The DC power supply I was testing... is not.
That's still as far as I've gotten on this particular little imbroglio.
It's fun using a scope, though... it's kind of like riding a bike. Kind of.

My dad used to work for AT&T at a nuclear hardened microwave station built down into the mountain in the Mojave Desert with more heavy duty shielded copper cables than I've still seen to date. There was always equipment like yours everywhere. I remember seeing the equipment making those cool looking waves.

Oh cool man. I just did a quick search and found it. Check out the link. Lots of memories there. Me and my sister would play with the sidewinders in that parking lot. Lol. The drive up there always scared the **** out of me

Mark, there is an easy way to fix the Power Supply you are speaking of. Get your wife, have her sit down next to you at the bench....(This is old school technology). Remove the biggest capacitor in the unit and short it with a screwdriver that you do not care about.
This may not fix the PS but now you won't have to worry about it anymore.
You can thank me later.
