Thanks for the very kind words.

The wallpaper comes from Mellinamade up in San Francisco. She has some great retro stuff for sale.

I found the stone paintings at a local mid-century antique store in Long Beach.

We were not in the house too much this time so I did not get any new picures in there but the Americana is doing fine and I did demo the auto-fill ice tray. We also watched Lucy on my recent purchase, a 1966 RCA New Vista Color TV.

Oh, and HarvestGold is John, not Gary. Like I said, I have a very difficult time remembering names.

Great Pics

My mom had the same washer (Kenmore in turquoise) in white when I was a kid. I lasted 17 year before she replaced it That brought back some great memories of her. Thanks

Great pictures, nice laundry area, the GE poster has one of my dream list dryers on it! Awesome garage, twin lifts with what looks like a mint set of wagons, one Buick with vista roof and one what, 66-67 Ford Country Squire, and one of my favorite cars, 66 Toronado! Can't quite make out the white one though.

Yes Mike, thats my friend Mark Davison from SF, originally from Ohio. He is my Judy Garland collector friend and he and I and Don Shire (Jetaction) have attended the Judy convention in Minnesota several times. He had never been to Hollywood so he came down and spent some time with me and toured the sites. He and the rest of us had a great time at your place with the Wash In there. Thanks for the fun!

Thanks/Your Welcome

Hi all,

A thanks to all who posted and to answer a couple questions:

My coke machine is a 1964 Cavalier/Seeburg converted to take bottles and/or cans by the local Coca Cola bottler here in LA.

Veg, the inside of my house is undergoing some light moving of "stuff" and some freshening of paint in the kitchen. When I brought home the RCA console TV, it caused an explosion of sorts in my living room area, as it was about 5" longer than the Magnavox table style console stereo it displaced. This extra length caused the room to burst at the seams, so with the help Jimmy provided when he was visiting, I started moving things around. It will not be final until my 1967 GE console is put back together and is in the house, with my 1965 GE console moving to the laundry room. When it is all done, I will post pictures.

"Your welcomes" go to Scott, Jimmy and Erik from their posts/emails/snail mail thank you's.

Will probably host another in July or August.

Mike

Nice Photos

Nice pictures of your place and the group. Are those speakers Pioneer HPM1100's or HPM150's?

HPM150s

Hi,

They are 150s. My SPEC 2 amp is being rebuilt right now, so these are currently connected to the Seeburg Juke in the wash room. When the amp gets back, I will set up my Pioneer dream system that I could not afford back in '79. I have the SPEC 1 pre amp, SPEC 2 amp, TX9800 Tuner, RT909 reel to reel, and of course the speakers.
