Unsafe At Any Speed

Apologies in advance to Ralph Nader for a wee bit of appropriation.  

 

A.J. Musselman

I went to Walterfest X.5 last weekend and one of the coolest things was an unopened Musselman 5VCA from the early days that Pern had come across.  He thought it to be a precursor to the 112 but since the box was still sealed we had no idea what treasure was hidden inside.

Since nothing is too cherry to pop.... a crowd gathered around and the snail seal was broken

we quickly found out that this 93 year old was well documented and pern lamented about the chances of ever finding another.

Breaking the Seal at ETF.

Kurt brought in this nice package for us to open.

Complete with desiccant in a cloth pouch

George Costanza was not available so we had to make due.

ETF Preview - I rebuilt the breadboard...

.

I mean, of course I did.... when the brilliant, kind, 

and open group that runs ETF asks you to bring an 

amp for the main room again, how can you say no?  

you can't... 

now back to soldering... getting excited... picking out 

rhythm and blues records, because you know Joe won't 

bring records... but hopefully he will bring the Dell 

Soundbar for listening back at the room... 

now to figure out how to fit this into a suitcase and get

through security...

peace,

me
