    Thanks for tip, LizzieMaine!

    Repurposing TV/radio cabinets - dangers?

    I was surprised to find a few TV repairman in the yellow pages, still. I haven't called yet to see if anyone is familiar with vintage varieties, but I'm hopeful. Otherwise, I'll ask around for hobby tinkerers (who will be more in the know anyway - just harder to find). And oh, yeah, dhermann1...

    Repurposing TV/radio cabinets - dangers?

    Thanks for the replies! Glad you still have all the fingers and toes, AtomicEraTom. ;) And yeah, I'd never just trash the innards. I'm not that much of a heathen! They're just too cool looking, on a shallow note, never mind the history and craft involved... I'll either store them for some...

    Repurposing TV/radio cabinets - dangers?

    First, caveats: Mods, I hope this is the most appropriate section to place this post. If not, please do let me know. And I sincerely hope I don't cause too much cringing over my scavenging parts off vintage tvs/radios. I'm all for restoring, usually, generally, and don't do this lightly...

    Just because they could, didn't mean they should...

    How does everybody feel about those old Gap print ads, where they had a artsy pic of an vintage icon and then the tag line "(Fill in the blank) wore khakis"? I remember Amelia Earhart and Gene Kelly being two so "honored". I've also seen a wicked parody with a moody portrait of the Fuhrer and...

    House slippers

    I got a pair of Daniel Greens via Ebay several years ago. I think they're actually a Men's "opera" style, but I liked the looks, so hey... I love the looks wearing them too, but they always chilled my feet to the bone within an hour. Especially in the fall/winter. I couldn't figure it out...

    Johnny Depp in talks to Play The Thin Man

    Wow. I was grumbling and cringing with the rest of the crowd, but that... might.just.work. For some reason that just made it click for me. I could actually see a Depp/McAdams pairing. It made Depp as Nick instantly palatable to me. *shrug* Go figure.... Actually, I guess we should all remember...

    What's your alltime favorite movie?

    I could be all over the map with this one. I have favs in every possible genre and period. But. I'm resolutely holding myself to the Golden Era, so it has to be.... "Holiday"! Not the first Katharine Hepburn/Cary Grant movie one thinks of, and maybe that's why I love it. It's the underdog. It's...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello! I've been a happy little lurker for years now, and have enjoyed and very much been inspired by the goings on here. I just joined 'cause the limiting membership to paid-for email accounts has been lifted (Thanks!) and that allows riff-raff like me to finally get past the doorman. ;) I...

    Confidence in dressing vintage

    (New kid pokes her head up) That's exactly what I was going to say! Not to imply that vintage dressers are equal to clowns and devils and whatnot, but because people expect difference and actually delight in it this time a year, going to an event together would be an easy and less pressured way...
