"We Bring Good Things To Life" -ge jingleYou must have spent your day looking up words in a dictionary.You should have been listening to a GE tube instead. It is my build, I will call it whatever I want jerk face.

In this case it just might be true. Who has heard the GE5670w tube and not thought it sounded very good?"We Bring Good Things To Life" -ge jingle
For me it was the picture from LaserDisc (I still have some, if anyone wants them)....
That was good enough to get me hooked on surround sound for movies - even though I only had a 14" crt tv. One day I borrowed a rollup screen and projector from a local arts show (I say borrowed, I was one of the few people involved with a car (artists dontcha know...) so I volunteered to return it) and boom! That was it. Even at SD resolution with a worn out bulb the combo of big screen and big sound was addictive.

Is that the one with a zinc-metal frame? Excellent keyboard. My Mini-M is a bit better but it was a tough choice...I love this keyboard, I have been through many but I have had that one for five years or so and I use it a lot.![]()
I just inserted a NIB/NOS GE metal 6J5 in the W-1100 jukebox. It's the first AF position in the amplifier.In this case it just might be true. Who has heard the GE5670w tube and not thought it sounded very good?![]()
What is the Mini-M?? I am not sure of the frame on this one but I prefer the round keys and click.Is that the one with a zinc-metal frame? Excellent keyboard. My Mini-M is a bit better but it was a tough choice...
Mini-M is an old IBM-designed keyboard with the best switches ever made. Not for the faint of heartWhat is the Mini-M?? I am not sure of the frame on this one but I prefer the round keys and click.I found the mini-M, a take off on the IBM-M, I fixed plenty of those for friends but the key shape is not for me.

It's been revived by the company I linked to.

I don't mean to be pedantic, but I'm going to be pedantic (where have we heard that before) but you lose a significant amount of weight in the roasting process. A lot of the time is cooking out the moisture before you can really get to roasting. Maybe 20% or more weight loss during roasting (didn't save my measurements). Including shipping costs it was still cheaper than good commercially roasted beans but not as much of a bargain as it might first seem.So check out sweetmarias website. If you buy in 5# bags, you get excellent coffee at around $6-9 a pound. Green beans keep literally forever (practically). So I just roast 1/2 pound of caf, and 1/2 pound of decaf approx every 10 days; keeping the fresh roast in air tight lid containers. Given that the closes replacement already roasted is more like $13-15 a pound, you can do the maths.
Cheaper. More choices. Perfect roast to taste. Fresher. What’s not to like?
I now only ever buy roasted if I have a long run of weather where I can’t use my roaster out on the back screened porch. Roasting makes epic amounts of smoke. You can use it under a kitchen vent hood, but only if it’s a proper one venting directly outside, those over-stove combo microwave/stove fans will NOT cut it.
I love it and I hope to check it out tomorrow if possible!
