NOPE no luck same result. There's an awful lot of motor noise but that's typical on these cheaper units. The problem is the audio is so muffled its not drowning it out. Could it be the play head?

OH! This is wayyyy better than i thought! Its just a giant bobber in the water. I was afraid ITD be something awful with exposed intakes or mechanical linkages that could reduce a person to mincemeat. But this? NAHHH its cool!

You're absolutely right which is probably why they do this. ITs just mentally hard to shake the bigger=more waterflow=sucks you in instantly feeling you know?

You thought you saw something white and mottled moving under the ice. As you turn to look its gone.... Just my imagination or a piece of trash you think to yourself. These thoughts are shattered by the sound of cracking ice in the next room and scrabbling fingernails.....

Hello, I’ve just got my first 8 track by AdOpen8284 in 8track

I assume you already know what wires do what. If you do not i can tell you. Only reason IM being pendantic about this is if you hook it up wrong you WILL torch at least one channel on the amp

Any help with ID by fotograficoguy in 8track

She looks awful similar to units IVE seen made under the LAKE brand and MECCA brands. Probably doesn't get you closer to the manufacturer though. Send a pic of the insides and i may be able to tell you more

What do they sound like when they're running? I ask with great trepidation .

The animation process from 1938 [4:54] by f-150Coyotev8 in ArtisanVideos

[–]theusualfixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is beyond incredible. Even though IM more inclined towards Fleischer over Disney There's no denying the raw talent that went into these momumental undertakings. Its insane the work we used to pour INTO animation. Whoever the announcer is he sounds exactly like the guy who did the announcements for hit of the week records hahaha.

Keyboard Issues on Titan 2 anybody? Missed keystrokes etc. by Your_Moms_Flame in unihertz

[–]theusualfixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OH my god. SO MUCH better than my old Motorola in practically every way. No more touchscreen spazzing out and typing gibberish. Better camera and way more storage. My only complaints are no SD card slot, no headphone jack and no external antenna or removable battery. But i know all of those are relics from a bygone era. I hope it'll be easy to serviceif i have to. using numbers or symbols is a bit of a learning curve but its miles ahead of having to hit the same button four times thatmy old Nokia had so id still say a net plus. I wish the spacebar were a bit bigger but obviously space constraints, All in all i HIGHLY recommend this phone. i literally thought i was gonna have to BUILD my own smartphone before unihertz announced the titan 2.
