Howdy All!!!
It's been quite a while since Nina and I have had a chance to visit TDF. We've been quite busy cleaning up the basement after having a minor bit of flooding. Damages were minimal overall, but lost some stereo system components and the rear speakers. The surround sound processor, multi DVD player and rear speaker amplifier suffered damage beyond repair/salvage. Had enough functional gear left to botch together a working stereo system. YAY!!!
Anyway, Nina and I have spent the last weeks cleaning up the mess and putting everything back together. Did capture some of the activities in photos to share with y'all.

Okay ... you ready?
10-4 Good Buddy! Hit Play and get ready to be blown away!
SWEET!! This is awesome Von! WHEW!! It's takin' my breath away ...
Cool!!
Well All ... with Nina's patience and helpful assistance, our first evening of testing and rewiring the stereo system proved to be successful. We listened to the CD and fine tuned the subwoofer's output settings to match the speakers, then called it a night.
Tomorrow night ... hook up the DVD/VHS player and reroute the TV audio.
Stay tuned ...
Cheers,
Von and Nina
EDIT : Just noticed Nina's eyes are off a bit and she has a bit of a bug eyed/cross eyed look. OOPS!!
