Has anyone seen this before?  I was hoping to win this auction, but the 
seller apparently won't ship to the states.  The price seems really low 
- so I hope someone gets this just out of curiosity and maybe issues a 
report to the list.

best,

Sounds like something even I could build (what's a "bud's box"?).  Norm?

A Bud box is a series of project boxes perfect for making up your own gadjets.
They come in handy sizes which obviously a good point and yes most people can assemble them in some productive packages.
Without Norm's consent I don't feel like I should give out anymore info, sorry.
Any competent tech should be able to assemble one.

Neither Norm nor I can remember what's 
inside.


It's basically a pot preset to a value (under 
100k) input, output and ground.


Sorry I can't be of more help at this point in 
time.

Norm,

We used that play to great effect on my high school football team. How  
did you get hold of our playbook?

Spiraling. 2 thumbs up. Really top notch power-pop with chops and a
sense of humour.

Spiraling- very, very good stuff- an additional pair of thumbs up on their
latest CD. Tom Brislin, keyboards, writing and vox with Spiraling was the
tour keyboardist with Yes on the Magnification tour. If you have access to
the Yes Symphonic Live DVD, check it out as his performance is outstanding.

Who is on the cover? Tom Brislin came to record at my house a few times.  
We've been friends since 2003 when he was playing with Camel. Mike Reina was  
there last time, as well (lampvalley) I think about 10 different Mellotron  
sounds went into the new Spiraling CD, "Time Travel Made Easy." This is the  second 
one that he has recorded tracks for in the room 'o Mellotrons. I highly  
recommend the CD to everyone. Great power prog pop. Tom is an amusing guy and a  
great song writer. 
 
That Mellotron is also on the new CD from My Morning Jacket.

Tom also backed Meat Loaf a couple of tours back. He has tons of amusing  
stories about that. More recently he has been playing and touring with Debbie  
Harry. The guy can play anything.

Chuck Leavell is on the cover. It's the September issue.

not you

I've been stuck at 'ome all day, waiting for the parts for our dead VW to be delivered. Aimless googling produced the following:

Ahh... wonderful. Although it does appear that the creator of this cute little diorama has only ever seen a C3 through the side of an HP Sauce bottle.
