    Probably still better than the cactus needles of the Victrola era, I suppose. :#

    I don't think they're good for too many plays before replacement's required. :|
    Well...cactus cantilevers are being used today. Here's a close-up pic borrowed from VinylEngine, member Delta667.

    Dmitry does amazing work. I think someone in South America sends him cactus needle stock. Peter Ledermann (at Soundsmith) and others have done this as well.

    Isolation transformers (with several output voltage taps) are actually handy... so handy that... umm... I did already have one. ;)

    I picked that one up because of that RCA meatball logo, age, and... well... 'cause it's RCA. I know this guy who's... a bit of an RCA fan. I thought he might enjoy adding it to his collection of... interesting RCA things*.

    Oh, and the price was right, too, you know? B)

    * Interesting RCA things like a pair of these, you know?
    (OK, the "super" tweeters aren't RCA... but the rest is)

    Every so often I come across a photo online that makes me think: "At least my setup isn't THAT bad"

    so -- I have developed a taste for a blog called "Curbside Classics" in recent months.
    I've seen some weird stuff there -- some of it very cool (e.g., a 1930s Chrysler Airflow... truck design).

    In my email inbox today, though, was a heapin' helpin' of automotive cognitive dissonance.

    I think I was vaguely aware of this... umm... project. I'm not sure I needed a reminder. ;)

    I dunno -- a Reliant with six wheels might've been a force to be reckoned with. B)


    I was struck by how much like some of the Chrysler/Mitsubishi products of that era the B&S hybrid resembles -- remember the ol' Dodge Omni and its ilk? :)

    Brooks Stevens Associates did the (ahem) coachwork for the B&S six-wheeler, according to the post. :#

    All that faceplate (two headphone jacks with volume control, two microphone jacks with volume adjust, a built in timer, etc) and the AM/FM tuning dial is only 4" wide.

    This year up here in Maine I've noticed more down'd trees from those pesky critters. We have beaver dams that would scare ya. I hike deep in the woods in the spring for brookies :)
