Too bad it's not functional
Kind of reminds me of the late Don Garber's Fi electronics, e.g., the (once) popular Fi-X SE 2A3 amplifier (there was an SE 300B morph, as well).

Garber also made a Y-shaped preamp.

hmm... speaking of Xs and Ys...
Wonder if Elon Musk has a Fi-X? He should.
sorry for the digression, @SeleniumFalcon !

It's funny you mentioned that, I'd thought the same thing, combining his design with an actual component. The Dan Garber designs are brilliant, I wasn't aware of them. Thanks!

Right place, right time. They were catalytic in the re-kindled interest in SE DHT amplifiers back in the 1990s. They sound good, too - and they were, when new, reasonably priced.*
On the other hand, they are a pain to work on.

* Not cheap on the used market, though. They have a cachet that has inflated their value considerably, probably particularly since Don's untimely death/

No, that has nothing to do with the Carolinas. It has everything to do with sensationalism.
CNN's Anderson Cooper pulled the same type of stunt about a year before that bogus report. He was standing in a ditch, making it appear as if the floodwaters were 4 or so feet high, meanwhile people walk behind him in about 2 inches of water.
I have come to expect this out of the news. You can't trust a damned thing they say. That's why I refer to them as the propaganda channels. It gets old quick.

The Weather Channel's gone downhill ever since they switched to Land's End from L.L. Bean.
And how many shows for tow trucks in the snow do we need? And now they have a home improvement show, too, that used to have Almost-Paul Walker on it. Just stick to the weather and some storm stuff. Don't need a show called Why Airplanes Crash, either.I disabled signatures. -

I've probably mentioned this to you before @SeleniumFalcon , but Joseph Esmilla (he of https://jelabs.blogspot.com/ fame) is a pretty serious photographer (besides being a professional musician, audiophile, and skilled amateur/DIY hifi component designer/builder). He has or had family in Hagerstown and still spends some time out that-a-ways. I don't recall many choo-choo photos, but he has an exceptional photo collection on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/je2a3
If you're on Flickr, I'd encourage you to "follow" him. Heck, even if you're not a member at Flickr, I'd still encourage you to peruse his images on there now and again. I suspect you might enjoy them.

"JE" is also one of the nicest human beings I've ever had the opportunity to know.
As an almost-completely-irrelevant aside, our son went to that college that used to be Western Maryland College, in (not-particularly-western MD) Westminster.

"our son went to that college that used to be Western Maryland College"
A one-room college in a railroad caboose is quite unique ! 😲
That your son went on to
excell in the field of ciphering and the mathematicals is to be applauded.
Straight up, well done 👍👍Sal Palooza -

The tuition was quite reasonable.
Yeah, yeah... it used to be WMC.
It grew up.

The caboose's still there, though, AFAIK.

Thanks for the link, very cool indeed! Some nice photos of Hagerstown and Frederick, my wife is a volunteer at that museum, which is a real jewel.

Completely independent school, AFAIK. It was the perfect place for our son, and he excelled there.
Found his sweetie there, too... -
