You could have them molded from the aluminum box... ok probably not.
And destroy that lovely box??? Sacrilege! Though I did tell Swank the other night that when I do get my set, I want to figure out how to attach the usb to the hood of my car.

Fascinating . . .

If you've read the materials in the first box regarding how 78s were recorded, and if you've read Do Not Sell at Any Price, this makes a shit-ton of sense.

Number one, I need to remember to pick up a copy of that book because I loved her other book, It Still Moves. Number two, It'd take a lot of listenings to get used to hearing Johnson like that.

Interesting article that gives an idea of just how involved Alex van der Tuuk was in putting these sets together-- http://www.jsonline.com/entertainment/m ... 70961.html

October 23rd. They said that it was out of stock and not available at this time , but the order is still open, status back-ordered, and it is still listed on the website so I don't know what's going on.

TMR keeps putting off the date of when they will have them in store. I have emailed twice now. The last email said in January.

Mine was mailed out on the 6th from TMR. Weird that they are not in the store.

I know. I guess they are taking care of pre orders or web orders. I really want to avoid shipping if possible. They said early to mid December then early to middle of January when I emailed.

I pre-ordered from CC Music around 11/6, and at the time their page said expected release date 11/17. About 12/6 when i'd heard nothing for over 2 weeks, i emailed their support, and got no response. Finally i called their support number the other day and got someone, who said it was on back-order with an expected date of Dec. something (forgot what he said, but something around mid-December). He asked 'do you still want to keep it?'. I said, 'what, the order?' 'Yeah, do you want to keep it, or cancel it?'. I told him to keep it as-is. Funny they just cancelled someone else's order. They don't seem too well-organized over there.
