Note: Some of you may know my misery regarding when Justice first came to Vancouver. I brought my wide angle lens and was denied by security because I had a "professional camera" (oh please). So tonight I brought my stalker lens and had a rematch with Justice hitting up the Commodore Ballroom. Sweet.

Corman recently had a rail train on the property dropping new CWR at the Commodore Loop to replace the stick rail. This new piece of rail is dated 2019. Speculation was that it may have come from the Kiski Junction Railroad but that rail went to the South Kansas & Oklahoma RR.
1961 Büssing Commodore at Auto- und Technikmuseum Sinsheim, Germany.
Büssing was founded in 1903 and quickly became one of Europe's leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles.
After WWI Büssing acquired truck manufacturers Mannesman-Mulag and Komnick and in 1931 Büssing merged with NAG, the automobile division of electrical company AEG. The brand Büssing-NAG was used until 1950, when Büssing took over all of AEG shares. Büssing continued production until 1971, when it was taken over by MAN.
To keep the legacy alive, the "Büssing-Lion" was integrated into MAN logo

Air Commodore
An RAF Air Commodore's sleeve/shoulder insigniaAir commodore (Air Cdre in the RAF and IAF, AIRCDRE in the RNZAF and RAAF, A/C in the former RCAF) is an air-officer rank which originated in and continues to be used by the Royal Air Force. The rank is also used by the air forces of many countries which have historical British influence and it is sometimes used as the English translation of an equivalent rank in countries which have a non-English air force-specific rank structure.
In the present-day RAF, air commodores typically hold senior appointments within groups, acting directly in support of the air officer commanding. However, during the inter-war period, and in the case of the contemporary No. 83 Expeditionary Air Group, the air officer commanding held or holds air commodore rank.

Seniority Air Commodore is a one-star rank and the most junior air officer rank, being immediately senior to Group Captain and immediately subordinate to Air Vice-Marshal. It has a NATO ranking code of OF-6 and is equivalent to a Commodore in the Royal Navy or a Brigadier in the British Army or the Royal Marines. Unlike these two ranks, however, it has always been a substantive rank. Additionally, air commodores have always been considered to be air officers whilst Royal Navy commodores have never been classified as officers of flag rank and British Army brigadiers have not been considered to be general officers since 1922 when they ceased to be titled as brigadier-generals.
The equivalent rank in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) (until 1968) and Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Nursing Service (PMRAFNS) (until 1980) was Air Commandant.

On 1 April 1918, the newly created RAF adopted its officer rank titles from the British Army, with officers at what is now Air Commodore holding the rank of Brigadier-General. In response to the proposal that the RAF should use its own rank titles, it was suggested that the RAF might use the Royal Navy's officer ranks, with the word "Air" inserted before the naval rank title. Although the Admiralty objected to this simple modification of their rank titles, it was agreed that the RAF might base many of its officer rank titles on Navy officer ranks with differing pre-modifying terms. It was also suggested that air-officer ranks could be based on the term "Ardian", which was derived from a combination of the Gaelic words for "chief" (ard) and "bird" (eun), with the term "Fourth Ardian" or "Flight Ardian" being used for the equivalent to Brigadier-General and Commodore. However, the rank title based on the Navy rank was preferred and Air Commodore was adopted on 1 August 1919.
RAF insignia, command flag and star plateThe rank insignia is a light blue band on a broad black band worn on the both the lower sleeves of the tunic or on the shoulders of the flying suit or the casual uniform. On the mess uniform, Air Commodores wear a broad gold ring on both lower sleeves.
The command flag of an air commodore has one narrow red band running through the centre and is rectangular with a cut-away section giving it two tails. It is the only RAF command flag of this shape and it is similar in shape to that of a Royal Navy commodore's broad pennant.
The vehicle star plate for an Air Commodore depicts a single white star (Air Commodore is equivalent to a one-star rank) on an air force blue background.

An early and uncommon Japanese radio. According to the date codes on the capacitors this radio was produced sometime in the fall of 1957. It was certainly inspired by the design of Sony's historic TR-63. Still this Commodore managed some nice features on the front which set it apart. Rather than utilizing a perforated metal speaker grille the entire facade is covered with a horizontal lattice grille, separated by a metal band. The contrasting black thumbwheel dial is attractive and strategically inset into the cabinet to avoid any accidental tuning.
it is slightly larger than the TR-63 and is equally hefty and solidly built.
The radio works but the tone is a bit thin, it may need new capacitors or an alignment.
My guess is that this radio was made by Koyo (Koyo Denki Co., Ltd) ......click on the chassis pic below to see why.

Still working on photos from our trip to Colorado. This is a big view of the Commodore Mine that is on the Bachelor Historical Loop Tour in Creede, Colorado.
The VN series was released on 17 August 1988 and it was a rengineered hybrid of the European Opel Omega and Opel Senator. This donor body was paired to a Buick V6 engine or the Holden V8 engine. The project cost some A$200 million.
As well as being highly based on the Opel Senator, the VN also was similarly based on the Opel Omega, but this time, the previous VL Commodore floor plan was widened and stretched. The Commodore could now match the rival Ford Falcon for size. The VN Commodore was available in Executive, S, SS, Berlina and Calais specification levels.
Changes in the relative values of the Australian dollar, the Japanese yen, and the US dollar made it impractical to continue with the well-regarded Nissan engine of the VL. Instead, Holden adopted and domestically manufactured their own variant of the Buick LN3 V6 which was adopted from US market GM vehicles, although initially it was imported.
The 5.0-litre V8 remained optional and received a power boost to 165 kW (221 hp).
Under the Hawke government's Button car plan, which saw a reduction in the number of models manufactured locally, and the introduction of model sharing, the VN Commodore was rebadged as the Toyota Lexcen, launched in September 1989, named after the late America's Cup yacht designer, Ben Lexcen and replaced the previous similar-sized Toyota Crown S120 offered in Australia.

Welcome to the fifth of the ongoing series of exclusive photos here at Armchair Arcade from my private collection, the Commodore SX-64 Executive Computer from 1984.

The full-size image.
Without further ado, here are some neat facts about this week's photo (feedback welcome!):
With the Commodore 64 (C-64) beginning to gain momentum after its release in 1982 due to agressive pricing, highly capable graphics and sound, and mass market appeal, Commodore began looking for ways to expand the platform. One of these was the Commodore 128 series of backwards compatible systems that increased the power of the original 8-bit platform, while another was a late life game-centric system called the Commodore 64GS that never saw release in the US. Besides the classic breadbox design of the original C-64, Commodore also released a repackaging with a sleeker case called the C-64c. Perhaps the most conceptually intriguing of these original C-64 offshoots though was the transportable system shown in the photo, the SX-64 Executive Computer, released in early 1984 less than two years after the original breadbox design. While this transportable system could not run on batteries, it was otherwise self-contained, requiring just a power cord and AC outlet. As seen in the photo, and truly important to a system such as the C-64, the built-in monitor is color, making this one of the first ever transportables with a color screen.
With its built-in 5.25" disk drive and cartridge port, the SX-64 was able to run all but cassette-based software. While the system had most of the C-64's standard ports, including a display output, it lacked a cassette interface. Unlike in Europe, the US quickly moved away from the cassette format so this was not a serious omission here, but the fact that the SX-64 was marketed as a business system was. While the C-64 platform had a huge range of productivity software, it was hardly an ideal business system, particularly with its slow disk drives. Nevertheless, taken out of its original marketing plan and into today's world of collectibles, the system is highly sought after as an easily transportable complete C-64. Add a standard Atari joystick or two as shown in the photo, and you're pretty much good to go with the vast majority of software.
While the system is highly collectible and often sells for well north of $100, a latch or two is often broken and sometimes the keyboard cable is missing. My particular system shown here is fairly pristine, save for some minor scratching on the plexiglass outer covering of the monitor and the fact that some keyboard keys require a bit of effort to press and suffer "bounce", i.e., a single press will often generate a few extra characters. I have another SX-64 that I'll need to test to see if I can cobble together a 100% perfect system, but again, if you're going to collect this system, keep in mind the keyboard can be an issue and finding a replacement is very difficult. Actually, what you will often see are the keyboards without the cable, so strike when you can in the various scenarios.
The screen itself is very sharp and the C-64's fine graphics pop when shrunk on that screen. Sound is nice and clear and just like the various monitor settings is fully adjustable with dials to the right of the disk drive. Unlike stand-alone 1541 disk drives, the way the drive is packed in, noise is greatly reduced. All-in-all, it's a very quiet, very efficient system.
