I will see that and raise you a Stephens SEA112 with coupler. With
the right incentives I might also throw in a Wood Freeman auto pilot
assembly (chain drive). It is a mechanical marvel and only weighs 50
pounds or so.

You know if we keep this up we'll end up with S/V "Newsgroup", a nice old
Morgan OI 41 loaded with antique electronic gear, for next Christmas...(c;

some Marine Electronics Foundation for Educating of Mariners.....

One of my ham friends, the finest guy you'd ever encounter, has a little
"collector fetish", too. He collects military stuff he finds interesting.
I haven't been in his living room in 15 years, since the little path
between the piles filled in. It's right up to the living room ceiling,
just like the SeaLand containers and huge storage barn in his back yard....

Hey Larry,
Thought you might be interested to know that the owner, long since retired,
of my employer, is Rodgers Jenkins, the founder of Rodgers Organ, a
Tektronixs spin off. See www.rodgersmarine.com for a company histroy.

That is cool, Doug. There are a few Rodgers around Charleston, left by a
little dealer that started up with way too much stock, way too little
capital and way too few buyers. He left a few of them and I think he's
still coming to service them, but not sure any more. I rarely get to fix
one. Hell, any more I rarely get to fix ANY! The business has gone all
to hell. I've spent this week rebuilding a computer network for a real
estate office, cleaning the internet's excrement off their computers and
making it so copy-protected, damnable Windows XP can be force-fed, even
when it doesn't want to, so they can go about their business, unimpeded
by the billionaire from Redmond....(c;

Rodgers made nice organs, but the prices put them in the ALLEN class
without the lifetime Allen support, which also did in several more
bigshot organ companies. Allen's still got parts for their 1962
model...in stock for shipment, immediately. UNfortunately, they won't
ship them to ME to make the customers happy, trying to force them to get
service from the overloaded dealer's boy at $25 more an hour....

But you haven't really lived until you sit in the balcony of a 4000 seat
theatre listening to a beautiful 3/15 Wurlitzer that you just spent 3
years restoring.
