Man Cave

[RacerXX]

My wife calls this the "Man Cave"..... :blink:

Got 4 JBL 2360 / 2446j horns running now.

Wow.......what a difference.

Since I don't have my 515's reconed yet, I stuck two of 'em down low.

Just to save space.

[mikebake]

Ted been in the man-cave yet?

[BMWCCA]

Two words come to mind: Barrier Reinforcement

Actually a third: Wow!!!!

Love the Les Pauls, too. :applaud:

[brutal]

Needs more cowbell!

LOL, j/k.

What it really needs is more Duct Tape to be a true garage band man-cave.

Marion:

That is an antique purple lamp w/ real Italian glass beads. Paid a lot of $$ for it 15 years ago.

Mike:

No, Ted hasn't seen it yet. I'm still cleaning, re-arranging, and re-organizing. Used to have a 240 foot 4 lane 1/24th scale slot car track in there. At the time it was the largest privately owned track in the world. If you go here and scroll down through the pictures, you can see one of the Altec 210's underneath the multi-level track.

The different numbers in the photos reflect the track size over time as I was building it. Took me 14 years. It was Revell track and every piece was made between 1964 and 1966. Some stock cars took 30 sec. to do one lap, and it had computer timing accurate to .001 sec.

Sold it to a guy in Bolivia.

Got another track in there now (behind the Coke cooler), but it's only an 80 foot long 4 lane. Went w/ brand new Carrera track. A 30 amp, 0-20 volt power supply runs it.

Oh man,,,I was into slot cars in the 70s,,,, nothing left but one slot car now...:(

That's a serious Man-Cave! If it was mine, I'd have a sign made with Popeye the Sailor Man, saying "No Womens Allowed"!

[Maron Horonzakz]

Olive Oil was his girl friend,,,But she some times carried around a baby,,, what was the babys name,,,and was it Popeye,s:D Or wimpys;)

[BMWCCA]

SweetPea, or:


Popeye is the adoptive father of Swee'Pea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swee%27Pea), an infant foundling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_abandonment) left on his doorstep.

[mikebake]

Very cool!

We were lucky! We had slot cars, Tonka's, Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys and a whole slew of hands-on imaginative toys. How pathetic is it today, that all the kids have is hand-held video games????:confused:

[RacerXX]

We play hard.

Had dozens of different layouts over the years. Got some cars that will
average 23 feet per sec. It's easy when you put 13 magnets on it or use a 100,000 rpm motor. At 20 volts..........the hard part is driving it.

You should see 'em when they let go and slam into the garage door after a 33 foot straight-a-way. :applaud:

time for your lane and we had a ball. I remember using 'essence of wintergreen' on the tires for traction. :drive:

[macaroonie]

Just the faintest whiff of ozone. You take your dB's seriously dude. :applaud:

Back in the late 60's, when I was wee lad wearing the much hated shorts, we lived just a couple of miles from Downtown Los Angeles and had a very nice older gent who owned a huge Victorian house on the corner. Mr. Barnes had the entire living room dominated by a huge Lionel Train layout. It had to be at least 20 feet by 20 feet.

He had every vintage Lionel Train gadget you could think of. The log loader, the milk can loader, the live-cow loader and numerous light towers and signals. He even had the USAF missile car and that rascal had it timed to fire and actually hit the Lionel Dynamite car ten feet away. The Dynamite car had a mouse-trap mechanism inside that when impacted, it would blow up in pieces!

But the best part was the smell. The smell of dozens of Lionel locomotive engines. Ozone from the huge transformer and then add the smoke scent and warm oil. You could've made a million bucks, selling that odor as 'O'd Gearhead' Cologne!:D
