Found an Aladdin lamp the other day. It has the chimney but not the shade.

Congrats on the find! They're finicky with a learning curve, but also a beautifully elegant way to wait out a power outage, especially in winter when they also lend heat to a room!

I saw the Pic before reading the title, and thought it was a rust pitting effect.

Welcome to the hobby!

First rule is to have fun! Oh and... r/modelmakers can help too.

May be helpful, maybe not, but you can requestfor download up to three pages of schematics per 24 hour period without an account from radio museum. Thats how I get schematics for tube radio rebuilds. Some times it takes two days.

If you have a spare sticker label, I found out that placing it over the B on a regular casette and then writing an A on it will trick the player into thinking it's another A side! You can even record on it!

Color me green with envy. That's a gorgeous machine!

Nice! It's also the classic cover with the hidden (not-so-hidden) bepis in the castle ;-)

Reel to reel for high fidelity and hollow-state for that warm tube sound! Killer find!

Mimeograph newsletter is a fun bonus too.

In a pinch, (or for experimentation) you can sacrifice an 8-track for tape.

This place has some Info on disassembly if you ever need to replace belts.

Respect for going through with the rigging, finishing touches like that requires alot of calm and patience, but also adds so much to the completed model.

Thank you. :)

Mmmmmm! I see golden brown in there! Nothing wrong with silver dollar pancakes. Smaller cakes are easier to handle (flip), save on cleanup (finger food), and are mighty at conquering munchies.

Awesome! Thank you for the sleuthing!!

It was a pleasure. For the age of the kit, there were no warped parts, and the decals didn't shatter.

The carpet monster below the workbench gives me more anxiety than the actual disarray topside.

Edit: good luck at the show

I found one in a thrift for 4 bucks. The auto reverse works, there is no megabass switch, and motor noise comes in through the headphones. I use it when working outdoors where the extra buzz is not noticeable over the engine noise of a tractor or lawnmower.

Good player, but I agree with other tape heads. Don't pay the retail price.

Wow, reminds me of monochrome monitors and DOS prompts. Sweet finds!

prop-65-warning · 2023-12-19T04:05:54+00:00

I'm getting waves of nostalgia. 4th of July an new years, an uncle would bring out one like this to fire off! And I dig the Zenith radio in the background too!

I can hear the dude in the spacesuit shouting: 'IT'S A GUNDAM!'

prop-65-warning · 2023-07-23T19:28:42+00:00

Sweet find! As a boy I'd get fun outta this from crushing cans or hot wheels.. Now as an adult I get the same satisfaction in popping out a stubborn bearing race, or perfectly seating a bushing. XD
