| Any pleasant surprises because of guest appearance During CES back in 2004 a couple of buddies and I went to Casa Di Amore, a small Italian place far enough from the strip to be enjoyable.Half way through the meal Robert Goulet showed up, sang for the patrons and even walked around to several tabl... | |
| The Ultimate Question? This will be personal, very different for each responder. I'll stay with your lead toward Rock and Roll rather than blues and Jazz.The songs I'm listing continue to effect me, even after years of listening.(1) Joni Mitchell, "Song for Sharon"(2) B... | |
| NOS Tube cleaning Sam,I've used small brushes designed to fit tube sockets, I don't remember now where I got them.End results and time required did not equal benefit received. Then again, NOS tubes, many going back to 1940s and 1950s are far more in need of cleanin... | |
| NOS Tube cleaning I like this one: http://www.eraser.com/catalog.cgi?mode=details&product_id=1222The knob turns to dispense more brush as it wears down. Refills available in fine and coarse as needed, just drop in and reuse the metal holder. | |

| What time do you wear? Funny, factory service/warranty work for Omega was sent to Dallas, who in turn would send to us in NJ or a couple of other independent shops. Some special watches would be sent to Switzerland. I don't understand why a Seamaster would be.Isochronis... |
