Hostess Pants Hi Jimmy, What a treasure trove to receive in the mail! That was very nice of Steve to send you. EMP

Great Job Jimmy Hi Jimmy, Congrats on getting it going. Can't wait to see it and the washer! We may be the last generation to know that these well engineered machines can be repaired to provide lasting service. They may not have an energy efficient sticker, but they are kept out of the land...

Expert of the Experts Hi Jimmy, The inside of your dryer is so clean and rust free. As someone who teaches auto technology, proper diagnosis relies on a logical step by step set of procedures, grounded by the base knowledge of how the machine should properly function. My students want to just...

Now there's some excitement Hi Jimmy, What a cool find, clean simple and dramatic! Yeah, all 3 this time. Cannot wait to see it work soon. Ethel Mae Potter

Sanforized Hey Rich, Yes, I was sanforized although it did not take very well. Here is a better, in-sync take, of my infamous appearance. EMP

EMP Filter Flo, The next time you post a link to one of my many musical numbers, can you at least sync up the sound to my lip movement? Also, you know my best performance was during my shrinking violet period, when I performed the Chocolate Soldier at the "Little Theater" in Albuquerque NM...

Simply, well Simple Hi Jimmy, That is a great set and looks like they will just keep on working for a long long time. Clean, simple, and dramatic. Well, 2 out of 3. Hope to see you soon! EMP

Cool to see, even if a violation has occurred Jimmy, Thanks for the link. What a treasure trove! I think I even saw a P7 GE range/oven. If you go, I hope you get some cool stuff. EMP

Console components This unit has a Porta fi switch, so you can listen to the records on the console and the radio in another room where the porta fi speakers are (or vice/versa). Very cool. It is the third switch on the bottom row. This unit sounds so much better than the the larger unit in the...

My other console This is my favorite console. Has the same components as the console we had when I was growing up.

NOS Porta Fi Speaker Box Here is the box the Porta Fi Speaker came in.

Transmitter connected Here is what it looks like connected. The output to the receiver speakers is MONO, not Stereo.

NOS Porta Fi transmitter I have amassed a few transmitters, two being NOS with one still in the box. The early ones were tube units but all the units I have are solid state.

Porta Fi Tube Speaker Most of my Porta Fi's are tube units. The NOS one Jimmy sent and one other unit I have are transistorized.

Channel A Channel B All the speakers I have collected are Channel B except one. I have one unit that has a channel A/B switch on the back. The idea here was if your neighbor was on the same transformer as you were, and you both had porta fi on the same channel, it would not work. I doubt that...

NOS Porta Fi tags Here are the owners tags for the unit.

NOS Porta Fi Speaker Here is the speaker Jimmy found for me. It is NOS and has the best sound out of all the units I have amassed. Nothing like brand new! Jimmy could have easily put this find on ebay or stored it away. I am very appreciative of our friendship and his thoughtfulness to pass...

Large Console Inside Here is the TOL console inside. A side note, although this unit was close to the TOL model, it has two less speakers and less output than my other console. The tape deck is a VOM unit made for GE. The Turntable is a GE Tonal 1. This unit has porta fi but you cannot select...

Porta Fi NOS Hi, I have been collecting Porta Fi equipment for about 8 years. I have about 15 speakers, two of which were New Old Stock, with the most recent being a holiday gift from Jimmy (Filter Flo, in the NOS box). I also have several transmitters, two of them being NOS. Following are...

WestyTopLoader, Oh My What a great find! Hope to see these working in August! EMP
