[quote=Fleet 500;961890]I also have a 1960s radio which my parents bought. A Sears Sylvania radio. And I saw the exact same one on eBay!
I may buy a few '60s and '70s clock radios just to have them. To collect and/or store.
That is a good idea a barbershop having those vintage radios... they must get a lot of attention.[/quote]
Not sure if they get a lot of attention, but I did like the haircut they gave me, which was important, since usually I get a haircut for $4. But since I can't go home and the cost of traveling included, it's cheaper to get a haircut close by campus.
I think they weren't used to giving haircuts to Asian people, it's a very rural, small town. :p

A $4 haircut? Where I live, they cost $15-17.

Nice shirt, though I doubt a Lambo has a coilover looking like that....:D

That's Chinatown for you. :D
No wash though. Still, I think that's more than reasonable.

I'm "support team" for the exercise and by clever "management" avoiding having to space-hop myself :)
She is doing it to raise further funds for the charity she is working with when she heads off to Italy in 2 weeks to assist as a clinical psychologist in a centre for the mentally disabled. Proud of her wanting to give back to those who are often forgotten in the world of fund raising for "good causes".
AND on the "fund raising", if anyone wants to give to assist and will post pics of the "event" here if raise enough then anything from a dollar/euro/pound/rupee/kroner/(insert national currency) to 2 makes a difference.

Is all that black gubbins on it a giant heatsink?? Some nice stuff though. I've been considering a self build but can't really justify it..

Not heatsink, but guiding airflow, limiting heat dissipation from cards plugged and (imho) catering to the vanity of the purchaser who wants the expensive things to "look cool" :)

Should be closing the sale by the end of this month, I will still own the apartment and rent it out. I'll post better pics once I get the keys and interior photos after we get the tiles changed and furniture placed :)
