    Bakelite Advice

    A good bit of what is called Bakelite jewelry is actually Catalin, which has a different core than the brown Bakelite radio cabinets.

    You can gently polish the bakelight with Novus #2, then Novus #1 plastic polish. You can find Novus at any plexi-glass supply shop. http://www.novuspolish.com/

    Any Lamp Experts Here?

    That is correct for this type of lamp, they were made to use the milk shade as a torchiere lamp. You can get a screw in adapter so you don't have to use a Mogul bulb if you would prefer another type of light bulb.

    Bakelite Advice

    You can use a clear paste wax like Minwax, you don't want to get into abrasive polishes, as you can damage the outer layer of phenolic resin, and expose the filler. Keep the radio out of direct sunlight, that will make the case dull as well.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    The Swiss make a decent blanche, but have lost the art of coloring a verte. Long story Personally for a first-timer, I'd try this: http://www.drinkupny.com/product_p/s0390.htm If you want to import, and go with the more expensive brands try: http://www.absintheonline.com/ The U.S. market...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    No, it's colored with artemisia absinthium, which is a major "Ordinaire's Blunder" :eusa_doh: Using wormwood to color an absinthe ruins it.:rage: The Swiss do not yet have a handle on producing a nice verte.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    The Clandestine is a nice blanche, the others you listed are "sink worthy" and not worth buying. Within the last few months, the first U.S. legal absinthe has made an appearance, with three others due to be released soon. (And several more as they gain govt. approval.) If you want to try the...

    Pre-Pearl Harbor Navy

    By the time Dive Bomber was filmed, most of the Naval aircraft were already sea gray, (you can see this in the background shots, esp. with the F2A's) the older silver fuselage & chrome yellow winged aircraft were used for the main shots, with the Navy having to gather up the remaining early...
