Curt, again you missed my point. However, George has already stated it. No one in your last thread said "never".
Also, if you are going to quote what I write.....please quote the "whole" post and not how you seem to interpret it. I think that the member who had asked regarding his Canadian machine can speak for himself. In fact, in his reply to my "opinion", he "fully" understood what I was trying to explain and "appreciated" the input I offered.

Amen.

gramophone 78,

No, I did not miss your point, I got it loud and clear - I'm an idiot who should read more books, so I can be as well "educated" as you.

Too bad your comments really didn't have anything to do with the Victor 1 cabinet. After 40 years of collecting, I admit that I don't know as much as others on this forum and certainly would not call myself an expert just because of the time spent pursuing it. That's why I ask questions - apparently I mistakenly thought that this was a forum to ask questions regarding this hobby and get answers from people who don't assume to be ultimate authorities just because they can afford to buy a collection of high end machines. Examine your comments and maybe you can make some progress with your self esteem issues... but first you have to recognize the problem.

It never ceases to amaze me how a bunch of grown men can get their knickers in a twist over an empty wood box. Come on guys, get it together and act your age please. :roll:

I haven't seen this level of asshattery since a certain gentleman was banned from the board. I think the moderators should give everyone a time out.

Everyone will be sent to their room with a Crapophone and a stack of warped Hawaiian records.
