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?

These pictures take on entirely new meaning in light of Disney’s Grooming Ways
Why are they running?
Good lord! Run kids, run! Otherwise you will see
The first Pride Parade…And some weirdo named Mr. Toad will invite you to his wild ride…
I don’t know what the hell was happening here
Somebody call Tim Ballard!

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.

I have had leather half-soles replaced on a pair of Florsheim Imperial wingtips. Probably at least a few times, I remember it being a reasonable price.
Of course this is 40 or more years ago. I don't think this kind of cobbler's shop exists much anymore.

We have one. Old Chinese guy, Mr. Wing. Great guy, great work. But I no longer wear that type of shoe.
