      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.

                  I am surprise that countries like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, etc are not on that list.

                          "Cerveny's still mapping out the project and doesn't think he or Rogers will get started on the streamliner's resurrection until sometime after January 1, 2021. Once they get started, he anticipates the restoration will only take 18 to 24 months this time, with another post-restoration debut of the streamliner at Amelia Island."

                          Wonder if he ever got it finished?

                                          Always nice to see an excellent craftsman at work, but I can’t imagine that many hours of labor being worth it except for the most expensive boots.
