This is the puppy in my kitchen. Used to repair car radios part time a looooong time ago and have always liked to mess with them. Installed in school buses too. Anyhow, This is a Buick Regal AM FM cassette and CD mounted in a 5/8 thick piece of Walnut. Has a little wood box on the back to mount it into the wall. Those indicators are for the power charge. Have two Optimas in the basement with a charger maintainer hooked to them. When the power goes out the batteries will run the radio non stop for almost three days straight before the radio will poop out. Just use it like when you are there and I have no idea how long it will run but it is quite long. The best part is the speakers. Two Atlas 883 eight inch hi compliance studio speakers mounted in the celling. The Kitchen really ROCKS. They cost about $80.oo each unless you can pick them up on fleabay but you will need to buy like five or six at a time. The reason I use car radios is the superior recievers and they put out about 5 watts a channel. It is plenty loud just believe it. Use a regular antenna or you can use just a 38 inch piece of wire hooked to a cut off antenna lead from an old car. The BEST set up is to have a 3x3 foot piece of sheet steel like from a heat duct and ground it to the earth. Mount a standard car antenna in the middle of it. This will give you a standing wave antenna and it works even better. That is what your car is. Really not that hard to hook up but they take some time to install. Worth every penny and second.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
