Title: Whodunnit?
Post by: W7TFO on June 18, 2012, 10:00:53 PM
Any idea who made this great covered chassis unit?  It is about 12" high.

I was traveling through Bisbee, AZ last week and picked this up there.

My vintage Masters shows similar but not the same units from Par-Metal, Bud, or Insuline.

Never seen one like that but it sure looks like bud chrome strips to and handles to me.  That thing is seriously cool.

The clean canvas,
  Ready to be stricken.
Wave function collapses;
  Entire worlds snuffed-

Out of existence.
 Leave it alone.
Admire its potential.
 In shining crackle aqua.

Forever.

Thank you panel aficionados.  It sure is a nice one.
Whatever is built with it ought to at least reflect the same period.  The sloping panel suggests an array of meters or a fine CRT scope, radar, etc.  A flat screen panel display would simply imply wasted space, wrong vibes somehow.  You get the picture. ;)

Fear not, 'Nothing newer than an octal' is the way around here.
