    Love the Magnavox TV. Is it still around somewhere?

    Here's a a couple photos of my downstairs system, pretty close to vintage now. I have to plug in the iPad via the headphone out to Aux RCA ins. Works really well though. Streaming Spotify Student Premium through a Yamaha RX-V900 into Celestion DL-8 II monitors. Turntable is my excellent Technics SL-QL1. Even have an old VHS machine hooked into the system along with my now vintage JVC JVC TD-R431 cassette deck. LG Blu-Ray and Onkyo C-S5VL. I've owned all this equipment since new and have felt little need or desire to replace any of it.

    That "Tele" is a parts guitar. I put it together with a Mex neck from an old Tele I owned but parted out. The body is from Stew-Mac and the rest of the parts are all Fender vintage repro parts (three-brass saddle bridge, pups, etc.). Pretty nice and propped up on my aging tweed Pro Jr. with a lacquered finish (Bullseye Amber). I just now moved it to a corner where I had an Oly white Jimmy Vaughan Strat and moved that elsewhere in the room.

    Some people have Lava Lamps and Nipper. I seem to have guitars and amps everywhere. ;) Sorry, this image is a bit fuzzy but you'll get the idea.

    Sort of my own small-scale phono pre-shootout. Not enough time on any to come to a conclusion just yet. What I can say for the DIY crowd the top two is a real bargain. The Tavish breadboard has less than 3 album sides so far and sounds very nice.

    I had a thought a few years back. I wanted to take an old cabinet, like yours and put a new flat screen TV where the tube was.

    But, then I realized that it would not work because all of the new TV's are wide screen. Not the same 4x3 aspect ratio as in the older days.

    Would have been fun.

    That sounds like a post for another thread - or another forum?

    Maybe an operational CRT - might only be good as a display piece, hooked to a disc player showing vintage 4:3.

    That sounds like an expensive, high-maintenance toy!

    Enjoying some down time in the basement space. Those rare evenings when my wife is tired from a long day at work and I can enjoy an hour of sweet tunes.

    Amen, brother. You know you are old and/or a music lover when you hope your wife goes to bed early.

    Man, the reason I love living where I do is because I've got three systems here. I can always find one spot to listen to my heart's content even when the wifey is zonked out elsewhere. I don't listen crazy loud but I've got an outside studio with some of my music gear (guitars, amps, keyboard), telescopes, books, a pool table, and sound system. It even has a small bar fridge. And since I added a wi-fi booster upstairs in the main house, I can get great wi-fi out there now. I can play as loud as I want in there and no one in the main house would hear a thing. Gotta love a country *estate*... ;)

    I can't help but thinking @MisterNines, that this must be a set from Forbidden Planet.

    You wouldn't happen to know anyone by the name of Dr. Morbius, would you?

    Yes. Here we are discussing the roving subwoofer specs:

    Very cool. Wikipedia says that Harris Armstrong was "...considered the dean of modernists active in St. Louis, Missouri." It does not reference this particular incident depicted in the photo, where his son was set upon by angry traditionalists.

    You should post this in the interesting facts about yourself thread. I’m sure it would be a hit.

    Which gives me the notion that some company could specialize in LCD replacements to fit in CRT places. But done in ridiculous way: only interlaced 480 panels that would pass VHS and DVDs natively, but dumb down HD to letterboxed SD. Good times. :D
