from funwithtubes yahoo group;

His wife had a groom's cake made in the likeness of an old AM radio. That was thoughtful!

"My wife and I recently had our wedding ceremony. She surprised me with a groom's cake. I figure everyone here would get a kick out of seeing this...it was a shame to cut into it and try it. The baker even went so far as to make a little cord for it out of icing."

so next guy here that gets married, let us know how the 4CX5000 / R390 / Globe King tastes.

Thing is, the bride said she wanted a tombstone to remind him what would happen if he didn't get off the radio. So the baker combined the two.

Gee, when my wife Janet and I got married, she joked that perhaps the wedding cake should be shaped like a Western Electric 300B. Maybe she wasn't so far off the mark on that one.

An Altec-Lansing A-5 speaker system would have been cool, too, and no doubt easier for the baker to make than a WE-300B. I don't know how appealing theatre gray-colored icing would be though.

And feed an army, too! And if you had one for each of your receivers, we could feed the world. Wink

Steve 'TAV had a cake that looked like a piece of Collins S-Line gear a year or so back. I'll have to dig around and find the one made for my birthday back in '03.

I just hope that a GPT-750 cake would not be as heavy on the stomach as the real thing, all 900 lbs of it. John, I know that you know what I'm talking about here!

It's the only xmtr I've ever had that needed automotive-type scissor jacks to work on; it took four of them (two on each side) to safely lower the rig onto the homebrew dolly I built for it.
