It's raining tonight, so I'm spending the evening inside.

I must admit , I did think you were going to

"Play" bartender ; but then Scott & Eugene didn't know the origin of your name! That is a beautiful register ; I have coveted one of those for a long time. They were once so common. What does a "Home Stereo Album Player" look like?
And what years were they in common use? Thanks

Seeburg HSC and AP Home Stereos

Here's a link to a friend's website. Of the products shown on this page, I have three of the AP-1s, one HSC-1 (it's bigger than it looks!), and a 200LU1. I also have a few of the Remote Selection accessories for the Home Stereo stuff.

Right now, I'm listening to Devo's New Traditionalists album on the upstairs AP-1. I selected it using the HRSC-3 Remote Selection Control in the library.

How fun!

The "Un-Candle" was one of my favorites as a kid - we had several with red coloring in the water to match all the other red accessories in our house!

These were very popular

I got mine around '78..( 1st Greek marriage lol)

I liked them cause you could change water colors, add stuff like shells or flowers inside.

Veggie oil was cheap...but those wicks are tiny!

The first thing to go would be the little plastic floater. I melted or warped out several...LOL

Kevin, may I have a rum and coke, please? Nice regi$ter.

Maytagmom,

If you look closely at the first picture, you can see a reflection in the chrome of the cash register. That's my post-mix machine. I have Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Country Time Lemonade-resembling product on tap.

I've even got limes, if you'd like a Cuba Libre.

Nice choice in tunes, Kevin!

I'll have a lemon Coke.

 

[bundtboy]

un-coke

I remember un-candles too and I could have sworn you said lemon cake so I baked you this!

It's still cooling.

Those are cool!

My own oil-burning lamp. Oil over water sits in the red glass where a wick is suspended in a metal holder using bits of cork as a float.

This is a centuries style of old votive light used in my church. I normally burn this one at home as a tribute to the dead, a request for the living to be healthy, happy, wisened-up, when I need celestial guidance, etc.

Parrafin tends to burn dirtier and is not the heathiest thing in the world to breathe in. Beeswax is better than parrafin. But I'm not sure if oil is better than beeswax.



Thanks for posting this!

un-cake with icing

tasty

I'm getting fat looking at that cake. Got to run to the vinyl thread and dance it off. Want to join me?

How cool is....

Having your own post mix set up!

I had loads of experience with these when I worked in a cinema- just dont go dropping the syrup boxes- as you know if youve done it they are an absolute b@tch to clean up- they strip floor polish well to !

Well, it stopped raining, so I'm headed out to the deck

Seamus, I've never dropped a BIB (Bag-In-Box), but I've had mice chew through them. Not a fun clean-up. Nearly $50 worth of sugar-water all over the cabinet and carpet.

Here's a picture of the Post-Mix machine (an International Carbonics Lil' Fella LF12) in my bar. In the background is my desk.

[selectomatic]

Well, we've got Un-Candles and Un-Cake

How about some Un-Cola?

[selectomatic]

And what's that we see right next to the Post-Mix machin

A Kitchen Aid Custom 21! (and yes, it was dented when I bought it.)

Kevin, the post-mix machine is just too damn cool! And you use real bar mops, too.
Bonus points for the very campy, late-in-career Crawford movie poster, as well.
