This is not a full Radio Shack. The inventory carries Radio Shack items as well as regular electronics...

"This is not just a Radio Shack store. There are many brands of Consumer Electronics products included in this inventory. Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, and GE are the biggest names, and the items include Telephones, Telephone Accessories, Radios, Clock Radios, Portable Audio, Home Audio Components, Car Audio and Security, TV (Indoor and Outdoor) and CB Antennas and related parts, cables, switches, etc, and Computer Accessories (cables, media and expendables). "

Does that make any sense? [Wink]

Like I said, I don't know much about retail. What sort of difference can be expected between wholesale and retail prices of other typical stores?

These items are sorta cool:

If you're still hanging letters at a historic house, this Cinemascope unit would be a lot of fun

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3828673391

Here's what Scott Norwood needs for his basement theatre: a real theatre organ! It's a little 4 rank Wicks (famously reliable & easy to maintain). I have a friend who owned/owns a 4 rank Wicks very much like it; he took it to 2 different schools & moved about 6 times in 4 years. It really doesn't take up a lot of space, & you could build a case for the pipes instead of putting them in a chamber. Tote it around for silent movie shows like Reginald Foort & his traveling Moller.

If you don't play, with just 4 ranks (+chimes), it would be cheap to stick add-on midi players on each rank. Only $1500! A bargain, but the expense with them is usually the time it takes to disassemble & transport them. This one's in Ware, Massachusetts.

this just reminded me of an interesting tid-bit. When Harkin's was remodeling the Valley Art theatre, they were going to have new letters for the 1930s marquee fabricated by making molds of the few remaining letters that were in storage. But before they did that, they found someone in florida (i think) selling the letters on Ebay. They promptly contacted him and bought everything he had. Even though they were cast aluminum, they still were pretty hefty and a pain to put up. There were many occasions where I nearly dropped them onto my helper's (or worse, a pedestrian's) head.

Wow. I need a house. With a basement. And an extra $1500. A home theatre organ would be way cool.

At the moment, I have a one-bedroom apartment and the "screening room" is going to be two projectors sitting in the middle of the living room. That barely leaves space for me and a small audience, much less an organ. I might be able to squeeze in a few theatre seats and maybe an automaticket machine, though (does anyone have an automaticket for sale?).

Apple iPod, but not really

buried within the item description is:

Please note that the above & the listed product is NOT what i am selling & that i am only selling you a document containing information on how to purchase the above & listed item for £20 and i hope that you are pleased with the product you purchase and the service i have provided you with... Again you are bidding for a document containing information to website (which i have nothing to do with) where you can purchase the iPod for a further twenty pounds on top of what you have paid for this service
There are 9 bidders for this "document" [Eek!] [Eek!] [Eek!]

Moller liked to make those HUGE consoles, didn't they? It's got a bigger footprint than all the pipework in the Wicks. I like the little voltmeter or whatever it may be on the back rail on the right. The console looks like it grew some Morton toe studs since it was installed in the Fox lobby.

Still, most impressive is the crescendo pedal on the 4 rank Wicks. Goin' to town now!

It's eentsy, Scott! My friend's 4 rank Wicks, moved to several apartments with him, was just the same, only with straight organ voices not theatre organ. That photo on the lower left shows pretty much all the pipework (the chimes are against the back wall). The four chests sit on the floor, altogether it's about 7 feet long, & about 3 feet deep. Put it against a wall, & put a couch in front of it. The console is the size of a small desk. Wicks made cases for their 4 & 6 rank organs; when the day comes when you want to enclose it, make it a nice piece of furniture, & enjoy the swell pedal, just write Wicks for the plans. Crumbs, the seller even has pipe trays made up already: pull the pipes & put them in the trays, sling the console, trays, chests, blower & tremulant in the truck, you're out in a couple of hours.

And an extra $1500.
You've got a camcorder, don't you? And a theatre & a DVD burner, don't you? What's the problem here?

Problem is Scott runs mostly repartory films, so making cammed bootlegs for DVDs would be pointless. [Razz]

Fake boobs aside, is it strange that all he sells is Sears Craftsman stuff? I wonder what the source of these items is.

E-Bay item 3830871585 $1000.00

Idiot is selling/describing this extremely rare and collectible item as the first "talkie" projector. Its a Super/SH1000, Brenkert C/A, Simplex heavy duty 5-point stand and magazines.

the sellers description is full of shit! Acts like he knows what he is talking about and does not have a clue!

I'm not really up on my pricing but for a pair of 4675's and a 4645, isn't this a little too expensive?
