| Thomas, Nice story , I remember My granfather's house in Maine had those deco light fixture's and the cast iron vent's in the ceiling . I understand the purism well. but when I think about thing's like safety ,some things are just more important . My 1973 Triumph motorcycle had a incandecent headlight . needless to say I couldn't see well , NOT GOOD, So I changed it to halogen ( yeah , I know motorcycles aren't really safe anyway) but you get my point. I've looking into my Hammarlund receiver with all that cloth wire and just sigh! I cant understand why anyone would want to use cloth wire on a radio . Yet it is beautiful . Take care |
