Nice Brenkert.

I think the model # is BX100 made under licence for RCA after they bought Brenkert. We have two of these at the Mason's Theatre in Telluride Colorado. But yours looks nicer.

I just got done putting permatex on the shutter shaft oil collector so that should stop the majority of the "wet paint" oil leaks. I am also putting permatex(blue) on the rear window seal to stop that leak.
Also notice the paper towel wedged under the oil pump window? that is the one leak in this machine that cannot be stopped.

I know this is off-topic, but Paul, ever since your “new” picture was posted, I can't help asking ... “Is that a weenie in your hand, or are you just glad to see me?"

Phil, I actually got the idea about a picture like that after I was dubbed "The Weenie Man" and I thought it would be cool to follow Joe Redifer's orginal picture.

Instead of the finger Joe gives, I thought I would use a frozen weenie.

Kind of brings back a memory of a Woody Allen movie some time ago, where the lawyer bangs a weenie on the desk and asks, "Don't you understand the Penal Code?"

I have to admit, this is one of the most diversified tread I have ever seen on FT in such a short period of time.

A New Zealand Flag was rescued from the ruins of the Trade Centre NYC and presented to the NZ Government.

Phil,
We have to keep this between you and me...The truth is Paul had an accident aboard ship when he was on active duty. One night he went out drinking with the guys and when they returned to the ship, he went into the kitchen and took the pickle slicer to bed with him. Well, one thing lead to another and Paul lost his member. He now carries around with him and uses it as a pointer. If it was truly a weiner he would have cooked and eaten it by now. Remember now this is a secret.

hey Paul, before Woody Allen comes to kick your butt

you should apologize, as the scene you are referring to is from The Kentucky Fried Movie.

Joe:
Oh, Jeeze.....I apologize to Woody Allen.......

You were right - It was Kentucky Fried Movie.

Bob, <ahem> I'll have you know that everything has been is present and accounted for during morning muster for the last 62 years.....

I could see the possibility of that happening to the Chief Master-At-Arms on one carrier I was on....., more specifically, The USS Oriskany (CVA-34)

Taking this thread and putting it back on topic . . .

Yesterday there was a transformer explosion and oil fire at a Con Edison power plant in lower Manhattan. That blacked out the West Village, Soho and TriBeCa -- more precisely, the West Side north to 14th Street, south to Barclay Street, east to Broadway and west to the Hudson River.

Nearly all the arthouses in Lower Manhattan were closed Saturday since they were in the blackout zone. All the mainstream theaters and the Sunshine Cinema arthouse remained open.
