Newest household acquisition courtesy of my aunt and uncle cleaning out their attic. Has a record player built into the bottom. It was my mom's radio when she was in high school.



Current plan is to polish it replace the knobs (have the model number so it should be simple to find similar replacements) and set a nice pair of Bluetooth speakers in there. Get working to where it lights up when it's turned on. Down the line get it to where the radio works again if possible.

i had a fantastic wood-paneled sony tv cabinet growing up that was gorgeous, too bad the tube blew on it

the biggest pain to get the radio working on that unit as-is is getting the tubes for it

Oh drat. Well this radio is from 1947. It cost $250 (equivalent to $2500 today :stare:) - it has FM and an automatic record changer.

The 4k flatscreen of its day :science:

I have an 80's style restaurant arcade table that's been retro-fit with a 20 inch flat screen LCD and a 60 game board with poo poo like space invaders, pong, 1943, galga, etc. in my game room. I was gonna repaint it, but instead I kept it looking rough after I saw it had all the old Japanese metal stamps and serial numbers on it.

there's a dude who makes replica Viewlix cabinets for like $800 bucks online and I seriously want to buy one just to toss my PS3 into for all the fighting games I downloaded onto it



also rec room masters, the company that made the abortion of a fightstick called the X-ARCADE TANKSTICK or w/e got their head out of their rear end and made a pretty decent arcade cab kit as well for about the same price

I think its p.tight. Reminds me alot of L.A. Noir. The quality of acting has definitely declined relative to the dynamic duo but McAdams seems OK.

More than anything I think the intersection of ritualistic murder and corrupt municipal interests will make for an interesting plot. Like was McAdams watching her sister get double teamed on that website?

The very on the nose writing is the real weakness this season. The actors have crap scripts to work with. They can only do some much with what they're given.

I think its a bit of A, a bit of B.

Like the threat about taking sole custody of Colin Farrel's son. Actually the whole scene. I don't think it was conceived as being performed in quite as aloof a manner as Farrel went with. Particularly his multiple "no"s ranged from lackluster to godawful.

It's still way ahead of anything else on TV right now

TV commercials are for something to do since day time tv sucks and she doesn't want to run Really important Questions into the ground.

I just wonder what type of bullshit they'll pull out of their rear end to keep Ferrel alive. I think even rock salt point blank to the gut would be lethal. He didn't look like he had a vest.

This is also the same universe a cop can ask for an address, show up and beat a man at the address, and still be walking free later that day, so I'm willing to suspend some disbelief. Even still it just doesn't seem good.

The creator said in some interview that no one wanted to see more hosed up buddy cop poo poo which makes me believe he didn't really understand why his show was popular in the first place.
