Antique Electronic Supply is now called Amplified Parts. They have quite the selection of grille cloth. Hopefully, you can find something close that will work.

Thank you!!

A country artist, still very much with us to this day, in his 80's. I'm not that much of a Johnny Lee fan, didn't like his material. I have this album, one of those I got in that pickup load of music I got at an auction in 2007. This album covers some of the better rock and roll hits of the late 195...

Check AES to see what kind of grille cloth they have. I used a cloth very similar to that on that old GE stereo I redid, had a touch more red in it, but yours has shrunken and faded. Does that cabinet show signs of being wet? PB Blaster works well on the cad dust. Spritz some on a paper towel, wipe,...

Ditto from here! Nice find. The dirtier they are, the nicer they build out. I like the shading on the expensive cabinet you linked. You do amazing work, and I look forward to watching your progress.....

I got the part today. They changed it since that golf cart was built, so I had to make a trip to ACE hardware so I could make it work. So far, so good. I put new wires from the charge port to the batteries, since the old one looked pretty bad. I don't believe I've ever seen a bakelite device so tota...

I have a 1986 Club Car DS golf cart I built from three junkers. They were used in a canoe rental business and had an extremely hard life. I got them at an auction in a little burg in Missouri, one of thousands in that state where the "you are entering" and "you are leaving" sign ...

We gave fifteen grand for a '56 Packard Caribbean that was half buried in dirt. It housed 1200 pounds of mud darker nests. Metal is actually nicer out here if it has been buried for 40 years.....

A Chrysler 318 and Torqueflite was almost impossible to break. Dad had a combine with a 318 in it. The limit to that engine was the gas tank. 10 gallons an hour in full song thru that little Carter 2-barrel carb........

It's there to prevent hum. Notice that it is connected to one side of the filament of the 12AU6 which is the audio amplifier. This stage has the largest gain of any in the amplifier, hence its tendency to be susceptible and sensitive to hum. Connected from the positive side of the line to common neg...

DD & NB was an artist who never recorded a bad note. They did an album with Hank Locklin. Widely regarded as having recorded the first song in the Nashville Sound genre, Locklin's tenor voice blended well with the brass. "Ring Of Fire" was another big hit for the band. People who don't...

Our gas just went back up to $4.99 sometime today. I have no idea what's going on.....

This band was a big deal in the 1970's. They covered several older country hits, had hits of their own with them. A combination of country, big band, Western Swing and bluegrass, it presented a really different, and popular, approach to country music. Typically with a trombone lead, muted trumpets, ...

Pictures, finally..... The white radio is a Packard Bell 5D. The light green radio is a Packard Bell 5F. The dark turquoise radio is a Crosley 56 THO. The Crosley's main claim to fame is that it is one of the few AA5 radios I have seen with a guillotine tuner. This style of tuner is fairly common wi...

I watched one the other day that had Larry Hooper advertising Geritol. You are right about Dodge. The only ones left are on those commercials.....

40 cents a gallon during the last two hours.

When I was heading to the Cracker Barrel, gas was $4.99 at the gas station on the corner. Coming home, I saw it was $4.59. I thought I heard that oil was up again today. What gives? I'm not complaining, mind you......

I have no idea how or why grandma was such an avid LW fan. She didn't own any of his records that I ever knew of. She was thrilled when I started collecting his material in 1959. I hate to think what might have happened if anyone were to even suggest we watch something other than LW on Saturday even...

I did some research on any members of the Welk organization that might still be alive. All the "major" players are gone, LW, Floren, Dick Dale, Jack Imel, Skeets Herfurt, Neil Levang, Buddy Merrill, Bob Lido, Joe Feeney, Norma Zimmer among others. The ones still alive are Bob Havens who pl...

Somebody has obtained, digitized and posted many old LW programs. This one is particularly good. JoAnn Castle playing accordian. A young couple dancing a polka, teenagers, who would be in their 80's now. Jimmy Roberts best song. Doesn't get much better than this if you remember Saturday night, takin...

Danny, I'm sorry, I don't remember. Not sure I ever knew what model they were. I did some work on a guy's car. Kind of a detailed project, took some time to get it all done. His wife left him in the interim and he couldn't pay me all he owed me. The guy was a biker and told me "a brother in the...
