I was born in 1956. I was fortunate to tangle with 2 guys in my life that were BIG in 1) motion pictures, production, sound, and projection systems, and 2) a guy that was a walking encyclopedia on the history of broadcast television and radio in america.
When each of these guys died, I received the lions share of each of their hobbies: 16mm films, equipment, etc, and broadcast quality audio equipment, microphones, speakers, tube amps, a complete 16mm color RCA TK-28 film chain with projectors, and lots of new spare color camera tubes.
My source of income is from what I learned from the film guy. I work for a major theatre chain.
My love of things old come from the other guy. I love restoring old radios and anything with tubes.
I have 2 Webcor wire recorders that are re-capped and nice.
I drive an Olds Toronado built in 1985... the last year they used the front-facing V8 engine in the configuration. In 1986, the engine was turned sideways. It's a fine old car, and still totally dependable, with a newly rebuilt 4-speed (with overdrive) automatic transmission. Its still a regular driver for me.
I love this forum. You guys are great. I am sorry that I have not been around here more. There's been alot happening in my world lately, but things are getting better now.
