Both excellent choices.

Some of those old consoles had some good guts and sounded really good. Learned a lot of songs from our turntable in ours in the 70s. That old Magnavox had some crank to it (not the drug).

Yep, one of my most prized pieces...built it over 40 years ago...still rocking..

It's good we all have a hang here. A bit of clarification for me today, our business is deemed essential to the economy (i.e. the building industry) so we're continuing to work - The Light Rail was kinda giving me the HeeBee Jeebs yesterday so I drove in this AM not much traffic.

That's great news. Please be careful out there.

I need to get to Headquarters, so i can hang with V and Will.
I've been grateful to meet Scott and Ken. @Count Bassie is close enough, another cat i need meet.
He's close enough to me. One day. Although he might regret it, nah, he won't.

Life is one weird, bad SciFi thingie right now.....Sit Tight, Big Fella!

Also don't forget to go out without garlic and stakes. Oh wait, wrong movie.

Looks like I'm going to be getting two weeks to play the Thunderbirds at home.......

Yes, that seems to be the plan. My work can follow me home, so not much change in routine, just a big change in location. Setting up the office at home in the basement has been an electronic wiring pita, but I think it's organized now. With any luck, I'll use some formerly commuting time to play music. Assuming I don't let sloth set in and just turn into a slug.

 

[Gaolee]

I'm pretty sure this was what I had. Learned a lot of music on my Thunderbird with it.

I had a Scott that looked something like this:

I got it used in the late '70s. Beats me how old it was. Somehow, plugging a bass into a jack on the front turned it into an instrument amp. It's a miracle I didn't blow anything up. That was before I owned a Thunderbird, so maybe that's why. It got stolen from my apartment in a break-in sometime around 1982 when I was living in NYC.

Like so many on here, if we were close geographically, we would be hangin’ out. I am dead set serious I’m going to Oz to meet Red and Kat.

We would probably be even more of a biker gang if we lived close enough. It sure would be a lot of fun. But, I'm not allowed to be in the same hemisphere as Kat. Both twins on one side of the planet would cause some tilt issues.

Prolly the only break-in that year. At least it was pre-'Bird.

Missing my bands big time. Here's to '21!

I hear you about that. It's strange without any band practices. I don't remember the last time I wasn't playing with somebody or another somewhere or another at least a couple times a week. It's been more like three to five nights or days per week for probably the last ten years.

The sanitary white drum kit that matches the hazmat suits is a nice touch. You guys have all the details covered.

The light will be on for you. And, there might be a Thunderbird for you to play.

In the part of NYC I lived in at the time?

Picked up the black Embassy and something felt wrong when I plugged in the wireless, the input jack was loose. Looking closely, realized the pickguard/pots had to be removed to tighten the nut, which is in the body cavity. BTW, no starwasher under the nut, so if you go through this, have one on hand (I did). You may need a tool like this, labelled Bullet, don't remember where I got it.

In addition to our THUNDERBIRDS, we all should have one of these
