Radio warm-up time...LOL.
That might've been "HIGH TECH" in those days, huh?
And FM wasn't invented yet?
I too felt bad yanking my cassette deck out of my 95 Camry so I could play Cds in the dash. I have a CD changer in the trunk but I like at reach control and CDs in the arm rest conveniences.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Nice tuna............Whatever you do don't throw away the belly meat when you are cleaning it. That is the most prized part for sushi in Japan and goes for hundreds of dollars a pound. I had a friend who used to fish for tuna and he threw away thousands (tens?) of dollars worth before he knew better.
And since you like Ahi try Alton Browns method. You cook it over a chimney charcoal grill starter. Its scary the first time you try it but it makes the best Ahi I ever had.

FM as we know it dates back to the 1940s, thanks to Col. Armstrong.
My parents' '55 Buick Special (convertible!) had a tube AM radio (of course). I remember that it could be turned on and played even if the car weren't "turned on" (i.e., no key required). I determined that empirically as a lad
They had that car well into the 1970s... it was seriously cool.

Buicks back then were COOL! I had a 65 Starfire that was "a real GEM". White leather interior. Modern radio. I installed an 8-track player.

Cool car man, which engine did it have ? I kinda miss those styles from the 60's, every brand had a few winners.HT SYSTEM-

At first glance, I thought they were tie-downs.
That's an unfortunate occurrence for a beautiful Comanche. Nice planes they were.
I will mention, at this juncture, that Piper's planes were often saddled with Native American names -- and Piper did, at one time, make a plane called the Piper Arrow.

Appears to me that it must have flown a little too low over a Conservation Area during Archery Day.
Yep. That's the only possible explanation.

I was lucky enough to have bought an Oldsmobile Dealers personal Olds. It was very special with LOTS of options.
It had the coveted 455 and I believe a 400 turbo transmission. Maybe a 350 turbo. That was the most powerful car I've ever owned. It had the most beautiful interior also. White leather and black carpet and dash and console.
The exhaust came out of the chrome trim on the bottom of the rear quarter panels. The trim was about 8" tall and ran the whole distance of the car.
I laid down a hundred ft. burnout one time and it was that length only because I let off the pedal to save some tire tread for later normal use. I always thought I could blow a tire with that kind of power the 455 produced.
I have ALWAYS missed that car!
I also thought, if I won a lottery, I'd search out another 65 Starfire but I haven't seen one quite like mine on the web.
My Uncle had this 65ish Buick Wildcat. A White car with a red interior. Chrome everywhere. It was a jaw dropper of a beautiful car!Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Interesting, seems to imply that a different "hardened" glass was used in the Bendix tubes.
Yes it was. Everything in the Bendix/Mu 6900 was built for excessive G forces and extreme environment -
Hey Doc keep an eye on eBay in the last two weeks I've seen pairs of NOS 5691/6sl7's go for far less than they should. Less than 100 for the pairs.mhardy6647 wrote: »
I've since gone (back) to higher-mu voltage amplifier tubes (6SL7 -- for which the amp was designed!), and, unfortunately, I don't have a pair of "Special Red" 5961s to use in it!
Have you ever tried any 6bx7 or 6bl7 tubes? Brent Jesse turned me on to them according to him they are a much better match to most 6sn7 circuits than the 5692. According to him the 5692 can run too low and that is how they tend to last longer than stock 6sn7. I know in my buffer you can tell the 5692 IS lower. On my preamp Carver C16 i use the external processor circuit so it's easy to compare by the press of a button. The 5692 volume is much lower than 6sn7 tubes yet the 6bl7 tubes are higher than 6sn7. Brent hooked me up with a great set of 6BL7gta triple mica Sylvania tubes made in 1950 for a song.

That's what I was wondering, very sweet. Man, I wish I still had some of those cars, built like tanks too. You would total out a car today if you hit one with one of those beasts, maybe get a dent on your bumper. Closest I ever came to the Starfire was a Delmont 88 and a Buick Riviera GS, a 425 and 455 in 'em too. Used to just bury the old camero's with the 327's 350's and 400's.HT SYSTEM-

I just went to the web and I see all kinds of picks now that show the exhaust coming out of the rear quarter panels of Starfires. I loved it in the wintertime. You could see the steam coming out real well. I sure miss that car. I like it painted white or black. Black looks like a better choice though. Mine was maroon...

So I was messing around with this guy tonight, and I hit the “FM mute” switch on the bottom right, and the issue I’ve been having became much better. I think I may have found the issue, so tomorrow I’m gonna clean out the switches with some DeOxit, and hope for the best. If that’s all the problem was though, I’m gonna feel like a real idiot. -
