I'm green with sign envy!

OMG Glenn, that Whirlpool sign is to die for! Congrats that will look wonderful hanging above your machines.

Forgot to mention ...

There's another Whirlpool lighted clock/sign. The clock quit working and one of the fluorescent sockets broke. T took it apart, plans to make a toolbox out of the cabinet, but said he'd bring it in if I (or anybody) wants it. It's a modern Whirly logo. The clock could be replaced with a hobby kit, and the fluorescent fixture as well. There're a couple small scratches on the backside paint/lamination on the clock face area.

[bpetersxx]

and this

This is Pumpers I think and if he has it is there more pictures I
am curious how u operate it

 

[DADoES]

(I have these ^^ pictures saved, very cool machine. Would love to know the model number [I'm wondering if it's an LJA?] and to see a close-up of the buttons and timer ... but it appears that Pumper ran across it when visiting a resale shop in Phoenix and may not have the machine himself My picture file is dated 2/15/2002.)

No it was not that timer. The buttons were across the front face of the timer, not the top, and they were brown and smaller/square instead of rectangular.

Zenith 8-track

I'd love to have that Zenith 8-track deck to go on top of my '67 Zenith Console. I have a Pioneer one that looks almost like that but it'd be very cool to have a Zenith one.

Please let me know how much that is or if it's available.

You must be having a lot of fun there rummaging around. Thanks for sharing.

Turntable

Just wondered what the age of that "califone" turntable is. It sure has the 50's -60's look to it like industrial Highschool bandroom. Remember the (sp) "woolensack" reel to reels. Nice finds Glenn thaks for sharing with us.

 

[tolivac]

That Califone record player reminds me of a similar one in an elementry school I went to.Theirs had a large speaker with it that had the large "C" of Califone over the speaker grill.The machine had a nice sound to it.

califone

oh yes...I have a califone that i just adore. Those actually are transcription turntables and can play 16 inch records~

Mine is very closely related to the one Glenn shows us, only mine has the mic input also. The turntable is infinately adjustable from any speed between 10 and 100 rpm's, which is kinda cool.

Califone speaker

Here's a shot showing the speaker too.

Bob, we use to have those very same record players when I first started teaching. Brings back good memories, thanks for sharing.

Califones were popular as heck with schools. Good sound, teacher-proof, and they worked. I remember that even in the late 80's, there were plenty of tube ones still kicking around my school. Oh heck, there were tube ones kicking around after that, too.

Of course, my district 'modernized' by buying lots of POS tape players that had 2 inch speakers that gave you a headache. Kinda like how they scrapped all their selectrics for Dells in the late 90's. The secrataries were NOT happy about that!
