Recall of Krell Amplifiers

LOL, Shadorne. I was a Krell dealer long ago and my KMA 100 went up spactularly for the second time just as a rep for another company walked through the door to hear them. You had to ship BOTH amps back when this happened. Their "customer relation" man ask me what I was doing when this happened; I told him nothing , I was just warming them up. He said" Oh, if you turn our amps on and don't play them you void the warranty". I ask him how long I had after turning them on, he eventually saw that this was ridiculous. I got them fixed , sold them and the others I had and have never had or wanted another. I concede that some of them are good amps but I have no desire to recapture the early days of transistors when switching on was an adventure.

I think it was Altair IV. Forbidden Planet was based on Shakespeare's last play. The Theramin was supposedly played by putting your hands into the path some part of it and moving them to create different effects, or that was the story I read years ago. Only one woman ever became really good on it and they failed to record much if any of her playing, again according to the same article.

Disney gets a good deal of the credit for the movie, he loaned his special effects genus whose name was Ub Iwerks or something like that, to the production. They were beaten out for the special effects Oscar by the 10 Commandments, which won everything that year. They was robbed. I posted this but they didn't put it up, the secret word is "Tempest".
