2/Before and during the deep Depression, US did not lose its optimism. Various World Fair offered an idea of what may be coming in World of Tomorrow or Cities of the Future displays.

@GuitarBassDrumG I would say Penguin but likely not made like in 50s and 60s, with a hollow body. And I have a similar now.
Falcon as beginning to like hollow body archtops.

"I had nearly five thousand volumes in my library at Rome; but after reading them over many times, I found out that with one hundred and fifty well-chosen books a man possesses, if not a complete summary of all human knowledge, at least all that a man need really know. I devoted three years of my life to reading and studying these one hundred and fifty volumes, till I knew them nearly by heart; so that since I have been in prison, a very slight effort of memory has enabled me to recall their contents as readily as though the pages were open before me. I could recite you the whole of Thucydides, Xenophon, Plutarch, Titus Livius, Tacitus, Strada, Jornandes, Dante, Montaigne, Shakespeare, Spinoza, Machiavelli, and Bossuet. I name only the most important."

@NarushikaTone Common mistake. Particularly when working on changing PUs.

@NarushikaTone I just ran into that site.
I'm going to start recording again after decades and just have old Shure & AKG mics. Inexpensive ribbon looked interesting. Let us know how yours do.

@SpiesVespers In Stasi/KBG vein, thought to inform on Catholic students at Cambridge. Sent to Netherlands War where he may have been counterfeiting local currency. One of authors of Dutch Church Libel (?) and its troubles. His activites and "immorality" may have become an embarrassment.

@Desode7 Been several yrs and now looking at it, seems almost new cosmetically. Clean front and back. Tolex in good shape, just dusty. Bright work on corners and handle corroded, but that's ok. Gotten into EVMs and JBLs since it went away so curious to hear through them.

Guitar Stuff-
Picked up my Sunn Sceptre amp from a closed shop. Guy started it then had family issues. Have someone more qualified to work on it anyway. Look at the massive power and output transformers. Loudddddd.

@mass_ave Looks like home, but couldn't afford a 2 story trailer.

[Ridge Cook @Ridge_Cook]

@Desode7 Did the job for me when I was in experimental music band. Unfortunately quit and after a couple yrs, essentially abandoned at a "repair" shop. Got a Quad Reverb for a big amp but kept thinking of the Sunn. Convinced to track it down and glad I did. Will now take to competent guy.

@mass_ave Ha!
I'm gonna steal this.

@NarushikaTone Theil small cabinet formula is to help a single speaker get wider bass response and clarity than a larger speaker sys. In my direct A/B comparison with 4x12, it is about 80-90% there. In a small single cab.
If you know numbers for a speaker, can plug into formula for its design.

[Ridge Cook @Ridge_Cook]

@NarushikaTone I found this at the bottom, Then there is the Theil cab. Designed specifically for measured response and characteristics of that speaker. Another hole.
