I helped demo a garage in my town and one of the items we found was an oil lube can from an "Automobile Repair Shop" in town. The phone # is.......42. "Norton-Russ Co. Phones 18-19 Burlington, N.C." 
I've always wondered just how old it is. I assume 1920s or 1930s. |

Quote HistoryI bought that by the case at Pep Boys in Tustin, CA. Had a leak in my '80 Capri. Topped it up regularly.
On sale you could get it for 79 cents a can. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
They prefer the 'soft' limiting in overload. It actually produces fewer high frequency harmonics and is purported yo "sound cleaner." While it might be a thing in original creation of sound a lot of them go crazy about it on playback equipment also. There is no doubt the 'harder' limiting behaviour of solid state makes MORE harmonics. They also use thing like silver wire for speakers, or "oxygen free copper" but every time a decent blind test is done no one reliably can detect the differences. Tubes don't have a lot of gain, so the circuits are pretty straightforward. Solid state has very high gain, so circuits are more complex due to needing negative feedback. The "smooth" distortion of tubes is mostly 2nd order harmonics, like octaves. The "hard" distortion of transistors is mostly odd order harmonics due to the gain control negative feedback cancelling out the even harmonics. When both are operating in linear range, they sound identical. The only time the Tube Sound matters is when pushing the system to maximum volume, clipping sets in early in tubes, not as a hard edge, but as lower gain when near max voltage. Transistors clip when they hit the power rails and just make a square wave (hard clipping), which is a ton of harsh frequencies if you do an FFT of the leading/falling edges. |

Remember taking my mother's car to the Esso station. Big fullsize Chrysler 440ci engine. Had 1/4 tank in it. The attendant filled it up, I gave him a $5.00 bill and he gave me change back.

Are we talking about a 3 speed or an automatic column shifter? My 2004 Silverado has a column shifter (automatic). My 2009 Suburban has a column shifter (automatic). Neither one are base models. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
The mid 2000s Ford van that I had as a company work truck still had a column shift. Rubber floor, manual windows and an AM/FM only radio too. I am pretty sure they went away when Ford went from the Econoline van to the Transit (but not 100% sure). My 2004 Silverado has a column shifter (automatic). My 2009 Suburban has a column shifter (automatic). Neither one are base models. Was talking about a column shift automatic, not a "3 on the tree" manual trans. Thought maybe column shift auto cars/trucks were all gone. I drove a column shift manual once. 55 Buick Roadmaster, 3 speed manual column shift, starter under the gas pedal. It was a little odd but I was already comfortable/familiar with driving manuals. Almost bought the damn thing too. He wanted $2,000 for the car, it was a clean, driver quality survivor car. He also had a 68 Firebird with the OHC straight 6 in it. $3,500, unrestored, low mileage, pretty much perfect car. There is another one to throw out there to the board. Are you old enough to remember the days of cheap 50s classics and 60s-70s muscle? |

When I was going to Elementary Schools in NYC during the early to mid 60's many desks had those holes, but we never used them for That purpose. I never saw the Ink Bottle before. I DO remember impressing patterns onto the desktop with ballpoint pens, though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I DO remember impressing patterns onto the desktop with ballpoint pens, though. It still had a lot of the original desks, furniture and decor. The desk I sat in had everything from Killroy to the Beatles to Keep on Truckin to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and KISS scrawled on it. It also still had an inkwell IIRC. |

My dad took a correspondence course on TV repair from Heathkit in the 1970's on the GI bill. He built a multimeter, a radio, and a couple other things from kits. The graduation project was a full size color TV. My dad worked on it for months. He had to solder in every single resistor, transistor, and diode. It had a couple dozen vacuum tubes. He finally got it running. He never bothered putting it in a cabinet. I have not seen it in decades, so it probably got trashed at some point. |
