I was reading about my beloved water tower today and came across this article, I thought it was interesting and wanted to share.
I’ve always wanted to climb the water tower and take a couple photos of Robbinsdale from above, but alas I’m afraid of heights.
It’s a Radio Systems INC CN-4, I bought it for 25 bucks a couple years ago and I can’t for the life of me find any information on it. No service manual or mention of it anywhere, most I’ve found is an article about a guy installing Radio Systems RS-12s for WJJY up in Brainerd Minnesota, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I spoke to Catfish Dosch, the current owner of Radio Systems, he looked through their archive and found nothing on the console, so musta been a one off console.
Edit2: Reached out to Dan of Radio Systems, will update if he gets back to me.
Finally finished building on the new very briefly released prefab, well I say finished but you’re never truly done with a build. But I digress, I wanted to go for something mid-century, exotic and lived in and I think I accomplished that pretty well.
Buddy of mine recommended I give Descent a try, good game, confusing as all hell but in an enjoyable way. I oughta get a joystick, I’ll probably play better.
Been using this as my main monitor for a few weeks now after I got it out of storage, it’s got a great picture, even those newfangled games of the modern era look good on it.
Now, I’m not at all finished with this build, just done for today. I was excited for this prefab, until I started building, way too big of a vessel.
I think I prefer the smaller house boat, easier to work with.
In case anyone was curious, I named the boat after the Walter Wanderley album.
“I got something to say! Danzig turns 71 today!”
The Creature can’t walk among us when he’s trapped in my fish tank!
All built inside an Aquarium Pillar.
I’ve just read Issue #2 of the TOS four parter, And I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying this series. It’s quite interesting and I’m excited to read what happens next.
I highly recommend picking up this series and giving it a read.
I got my 2001 Samsung SyncMaster 753DF set up, it may be covered in brake dust and other filth but damn does it have a good picture.
I apologize for the glare and reflection, there’s a window behind me.
Established 1916
Originally built it when the cathedral kit came out, but I’ve added a few additions since then so I thought I’d post the updated build.
Seen at the Eddie Cochran days car show in Albert Lea MN.
My favorite TV to watch, had great color, a good picture, I had just bought it a replacement remote too. I suppose 26 years of service is a good career, although my ‘81 RCA is still surviving without being serviced for 45 years, but I guess they don’t make ‘em like they used to.
I’m not too broken up about it, but I am pissed about the remote thing, buy a new clicker and it dies a week and a half later, that’s some bullshit.
Well, guess it’ll live in the pile of electronics I’ll eventually get around to repairing.
Manos: The Hands of Fate is in fact the greatest horror film ever made.
Manos is true horror, no other movie can disturb the mind more than Manos.
I really mean this, Manos is one of the most uncomfortable movies I’ve ever seen, I don’t just love it because of how bad it is, I love how depressing it is, it’s one of the few horror films of its era without a happy ending, I love how The Master wins, I love how it’s shot in a way that make you uncomfortable, I love how horrible it is.
I love Manos: The Hands of Fate.
Been wanting to make a restaurant for a while, finally got around to it.
