Graham, Elys, and Ted, this one's for you!

It's a countertop in my office...

(Apologies to those who've already seen it...)

No need to apologize for posting that, Paul!
It's inspiring (and you NEVER sound like Barney, BTW).

UhOh, Paul! That looks suspiciously like the exact copy, in a different scale, of a trademarked 2-inch long segment of the lower front horn arch of a 4001 in FireGlo. That means you can never sell this countertop in the US or through an auction site anywhere in the world owned or controlled by a US corp, because then John Hall will have to take action!

That means you will have to GIVE it to me when you are done with it Image Image Image I will even pay UPS for you......

You're trying to torture me with that July 73, aren't you Jeff?

Nice tables, Paul!

Is that in your office at AAU or at home? If it is at AAU how did I miss that? Very nice Paul.

(Gulp...busted!!!) Thanks, Jeff...

Brian, the counter is at my office. It was there when you visited--I think it was put in in May '05. I wonder how you missed it, too, except that was a busyish day as most are!

Jeff, take the horseshoe out and sell it on ebay for $500 or whatever they're going for, sell me the rest and I'll find something to put in the big hole....Image

OH! Well, Jeff, then I have the perfect solution! Just sell me the horseshoe, and you can feel great about filling the resulting big hole with that original hi-gain pickup! Image Image
