            actually, it's 2:59:59:20

            and AM is not needed.

                Steller's Sea Eagle

                The largest eagle in the world is Steller's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), which weighs 5-9 kg (11-20 lb) and has a wing-span of 2.2-2.45 m (7 ft 2 in-8 ft 0.3 in). Although it breeds mainly in Russia it has also been located in Korea and Japan. In Russia this eagle is a protected species and in Japan is considered a national symbol.

                              @mark Hmm, not sure. They are light bulbs (or maybe some sort of tube) with no sequence order of numbers and some of them have a date on them. Your radio station is 95.5!!

                                    Looks like there may be nazi stuff in that picture. I think I've mentioned before - IMO, naziism is wrong. Can't wait for the historians to get around to studying that era. My opinion will be vindicated.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                      Okay, my guess is that the light bulbs on the left side of the picture are actually not light bulbs but hold a scotch liqeur with the date they were made.

                                          Bingo! For the bigoted audiophile I guess. I found it strange that vacuum tubes were actually imprinted with Nazi symbols. And you can still buy NOS versions of these tubes.
