Here is a very old Philco unit. i have no idea what the inside of this unit looks like, although i am very curious to know. if you know anything about this style unit, please let us all know.
Two sizes of Epoch Ava puhi moni Shampoo and Light Conditioner on a purple background with a pretty yellow flower.
Im calling this the Hotpoint Slumberline because its Hotpoints version of the GE Slumberline. this unit doesnt say Slumberline on it at all, and looks completly different on the inside. nothing at all in common with the ge version, BUT the outsides are IDENTICLE, minus having a Hotpoint Tag instead of the GE Tag on the back. I think the GE Slumberline is a MUCH nicer looking unit. just my opinion.

The aircraft that became known as ’The Jägermeister’ was an ambitious racing aircraft project from Germany, that took part in the US National Air Races at Reno during 1967-69.
The Jägermeister was built from a disassembled He 100D wreck which was found in 1962. It was found during constructions at the Heinkel plant at Bremen, buried in the ground, probably during the final days of WWII before Allied troops took over the site. The aircraft was in poor condition, but complete and still structurally intact.
The find was a minor sensation, since none of the few He 100 built were known to have survived the Second World War – but unfortunately no public funding for restoration could be achieved. In 1964 Heinkel finally sold the airframe to a private owner, the company Mast-Jägermeister SE and its respective owners, the Findel-Mast family. Mast was (and still is) famous for its herb flavored 70-proof (35%) liqueur Jägermeister, which was first brought to market in 1935.
The Wolfenbüttel-based company had been sponsoring car racing, and as an innovative PR measure it was decided to re-build the He 100D and attack the absolute air speed record!
What sounded like megalomania had a sound basis: The Heinkel He 100 was a German pre-World War II fighter aircraft design from Heinkel which proved to be one of the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at the time of its development. But the design was not ordered into series production, less than 20 prototypes and pre-production machines were built.
Re-building the aircraft proved to be difficult, though: Because there were no complete surviving examples, and since many factory documents - including all blueprints for the He 100 - were destroyed during a bombing raid, there was limited specific information about the aircraft’s design and its unique systems. The most significant feature of the original He 100 design (which was missing in the later D variant, though) was an evaporative cooling system. This installation under the wing surfaces and without a draggy radiator bath for the liquid-cooled Daimler Benz engine allowed a very clean airframe and high aerodynamic efficiency. For the re-built aircraft, this revolutionary system was to be re-constructed, as well as an original Daimler Benz DB 601 engine, tuned for high performance. The latter was expected to yield around 2.000hp instead of the original, pre-war 1.200hp, even though for just short periods.
Despite these challenges the project was tackled and the aircraft re-built as a civil high speed race plane. This reconstruction was done at Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke in Hamburg, an association of many former German aircraft manufacturers, including Heinkel.
The resurrected He 100D was christened ‘Jägermeister’ and made its maiden flight in August 1966, bearing the civil registration ‘D-WILD’. But by then the idea of attacking the air world speed record had been dropped – despite the theoretical potential of the aircraft to break the 800 km/h (500 mph) barrier. Funds for the project from the Mast family were reduced, and eventually the finished aircraft was sold to the United States. The aircraft kept its all-orange livery, though, as Mast-Jägermeister SE was still a sponsor and hoped for PR in the USA as a potential new market.
In September 1967 and with the American pilot George Fransworth at the controls, ‘The Jägermeister’ made its debut at Reno’s National Championship Air Races in the Unlimited Class with the grid number ‘43’, where it raced against several much bigger warbirds. The compact and slender aircraft looked diminutive between the much larger Mustangs, Corsairs and Sea Furies - but thanks to its good aerodynamics the aircraft was very competitive, despite only half of the “Big Birds’” power, and even though extra weight had to be added in order to reach the 4.500 lb minimum empty weight limit for the Unlimited Racer class!
During the 1969 Reno Air Races, The Jägermeister suffered a major engine failure. While Farnsworth could keep the aircraft under control and bring it down, the landing attempt ended in disaster and the airframe had to be written off.

The kit and its assembly
Primiraly, this fictional Unlimited Class Reno Air Racer was a contribution to an air racer group build at whatifmodelers.com, but also a nice distraction from military vehicles/aircraft. You rarely have the chance to turn a weapon into a sport item.
Conceptually it was clear from the start that I wanted to build something that would be plausible/realistic, still with a twist. When I wondered about a potential German type for the Reno Air Race after WWII (where a lot of US, British and recently some Soviet warbirds were used), I passed the 'typical candidates' of Bf 109 or Fw 190 and settled for the unlucky pre-war He 100.
Originally, the He 100 had been a rival to the Bf 109 and the He 112, and it was definitively the best aircraft of both of these. The real He 100 flew for the first time in early 1938, and it was used for record attempts (e .g. on a 100km round course, and also for the absolute speed record - and the eight prototype even reached 746,61 km/h (462,58 mph)! Anyway, the Bf 109 was preferred and the He 100 became a passed opportunity.
Since the He 100's DB 601 engine was reserved for the Bf 109, the He 100 was not 'allowed' into German service and serial production and only a few He 100D (slightly modified, with a new cooler and an enlarged tail fin) were built - even though the type was offered for export and license production, e .g. to Japan or the Soviet Union.
The fifteen built aircraft were primarily used for propaganda purposes, or ended up as local defense of the Heinkel plant in Rostock-Marienehe.
Anyway, the elegant and fast He 100D would be a perfect candidate for a fast racing aircraft. In order to make a Reno Racer from it, the kit (Special Hobby kit, the optional Lindberg kit is a joke) saw some basic modifications:
● Clipped wing tips, which would reduce the real life span by about 3'
● A new propeller with five blades and a bigger spinner
● New exhaust pipes
● A new, more modern and streamlined canopy
● A modern pilot figure
● Omittance of the belly radiator
Around the fuselage, any sign of armament disappeared. Clipped wings are a common practice on racing warbirds, as it reduces drag and G-forces in tight turns, so the wing span was reduced and new wing tips sculpted. The new propeller comes from a Griffon Spitfire: the spinner from a Pavla aftermarket kit, the propeller blades from a Special Hobby kit. In order to fit the slightly bigger diameter spinner onto the tiny He 100 fuselage I had to cut the latter by about 3mm, I wanted to use the original lines instead of adding a fat nose with putty.
The propeller was mounted with a metal axis in a styrene tube, so that it could rotate freely.
The cockpit was taken OOB, but a modern pilot from an Academy kit was used - this pilot wears a jumpsuit and a 'bone dome', but no oxygen mask, so it is a perfect choice for a low altitude racer.
The canopy actually is a rear canopy part from a Hobby Boss P-51, just facing rearwards. Fairings from styrene and putty had to be added to make the new piece fit, but its slender like looks much more aerodynamic than the original He 100 part, and such simple modifications are frequently done to warbird racers.
The rest of the kit was taken more or less OOB - I just left the water cooler under the fuselage away. The original He 100 did not have this piece either, as the DB 601 was cooled by a complicated but aerodynamically very effective evaporative cooling system - and for short race distances, falling back to this option would IMHO make sense. Actually, this has also been employed in real life Reno Racers, so it's plausible.
Painting and markings:
Well, a German Reno Racer was the idea, and I found a nice livery/sponsor option when I browsed through Germany's touring car history: thorough many years, the Rauch destilery sponsored race cars for their herbal liquor 'Jägermeister', and this old brand has orange as ID color, as well as promiment logos and typo. What else could you ask for?
Consequently, the He 100 racer became 'The Jägermeister; in a simple, all-orange livery, just like the respectice race cars. The original tone is, as far as I could find out, RAL 2004 (Reinorange). I used Testors 1595 (Semigloss Orange), since the tone comes pretty close. Panels were later emphasized through light dry-brushing with Humbrol 18 (Gloss Orange), which is slightly lighter, and some Humbrol 132 for depth. The intention was to make the kit not look too uniform, but not dirty or dented, as air racers are frequently kept clean and in best possible shape.
The logos, sponsor stickers and typo come from an aftermarket decal sheet for 1:43 race cars and were deliberately scattered across the aircraft, using real life racers as benchmark for details like grid number positions and orientation.
The German registration D-WILD is fictional and was created through single letters from TL Modellbau aftermarket sheets. These also provided the German flag on the tail.
The cockpit interior was painted in medium grey. The pilot received a dark brown jumpsuit with white and orange trim, as well as a white helmet.
The landing gear and the interior of the wells were painted in Aluminum (Humbrol 56), the wheel discs are black so that they'd not stand out too much.
The spinner tip was painted with glossy silver (Humbrol 11), the propeller blades were painted black from behind, light grey from the front, with yellow warning tips.
Finally, everything was sealed under a double coat of gloss acrylic varnish.
As the kit was built OOB and any ingredients at hand, the whole thing was puzzled together in less than three days – it actually took longer to wait for the right weather condition to take the pictures.
It is a nice and colorful whif that would have certainly looked great (if not somewhat dwarfish) among other Reno warbirds?

In Italia la politica, di centro sinistra o di centro destra, ha sempre un comune denominatore: prende ordini dalle potenze straniere. La prima è il Vaticano, la seconda gli Stati Uniti. La prima detta le nostre leggi, la seconda insedia basi militari in Italia e ci arruola per le guerre, come i mercenari di una volta.
Tra le due la più pericolosa è, senza dubbio, il Vaticano. Ha più esperienza e vince (sempre) le sue battaglie facendole combattere ai devoti partiti italiani che stanno in Parlamento.
Telmo Pievani, che ha documentato tutto nel libro “Sante Ragioni”, mi ha scritto una lettera.
“Caro Beppe,
vorrei parlarti dei comportamenti recenti di una delle numerose “caste” che popolano il nostro paese. Sto parlando della casta ecclesiastica e dei suoi sempre più numerosi accoliti presenti nell’arco costituzionale e nei media.
Di mestiere, insegno filosofia della scienza. Insieme ad un’amica giornalista, Carla Castellacci, ho scritto un libro per discutere analiticamente le “Sante Ragioni” addotte dai vertici delle gerarchie vaticane per giustificare il condizionamento religioso sulle scelte fondamentali che riguardano la vita di ogni cittadino, dal nascere al morire, dalla famiglia alla scuola, dalla bioetica alla vita civile. Ci viene ripetuto che si tratta non di articoli di fede, non di convincimenti personali, ma di argomentazioni frutto del “retto ragionare” e del “diritto naturale”, e dunque valide per tutti. Noi le abbiamo prese sul serio e verificato che si tratta di una razionalità inesistente, ideologica, del tutto infondata. Abbiamo esaminato le conseguenze di queste contraddittorie “ragioni” - tradotte in leggi dello Stato da politici sempre più solerti, ben distribuiti in entrambi gli schieramenti - sulle scelte di vita di noi tutti.
Ci siamo accorti che il clima culturale in questo Paese sta rapidamente cambiando e che in materie importanti come la libertà della ricerca scientifica, la libertà di insegnamento, la libertà di scelta in campo biomedico, è in atto un’autentica, e documentabile, regressione. Si sta diffondendo, nelle scuole e sui media, una letteratura creazionista che pensavamo confinata ai fondamentalisti evangelici americani. Libri di violento discredito contro la teoria dell’evoluzione, ricolmi di falsità, di insulti e di strafalcioni scientifici, vengono recensiti dal Corriere della Sera e dai canali RAI. L’ultima “opera” di Rosa Alberoni, “Il Dio di Michelangelo e la barba di Darwin”, viene presentata a Roma, in sede prestigiosa, da ex Ministri come Rocco Buttiglione, da direttori di telegiornali RAI, da eminenze quali Monsignor Rino Fisichella.
Proviamo ad analizzare alcuni fatti recenti, i documenti, le decisioni parlamentari, i finanziamenti stanziati, le dichiarazioni pubbliche. Qualche esempio:
- le nuove linee guida ministeriali sulla Legge 40 tardano ad uscire, nonostante il profluvio di dati che mostrano gli effetti, controproducenti in termini di nuove nascite e discriminatori verso le donne, di quella sventurata legge
- riguardo alle proposte di legge sulle coppie di fatto (Pacs, Dico, Cus, ...), nel comitato ristretto del Senato che avrebbe dovuto preparare il progetto di legge nella sua versione definitiva sono stati presentati circa duemila emendamenti, abbastanza per bloccare l’attività del comitato per i prossimi mesi
- legge sul testamento biologico: dallo scorso giugno il tentativo di unificare in un unico progetto gli undici disegni di legge presentati non ha dato frutti
- la legge sulla libertà religiosa ha smesso di dare notizie di sé
- finanziamenti per le ricerche su cellule staminali esclusivamente adulte, un caso unico di indirizzo etico di Stato sulla ricerca: il Ministro Turco respinge duramente l’appello degli scienziati che lavorano su linee di staminali embrionali già ricavate e parla addirittura di una “guerra fra bande” rivali di ricercatori
- il Comitato Nazionale di Bioetica è ormai in uno stallo permanente a causa dei conflitti fra la minoranza laica e la (schiacciante) maggioranza confessionale. Elena Cattaneo e Cinzia Caporale, autorevoli studiose e scienziate laiche, sono state “dimissionate” dalla carica di vicepresidenti
Se queste notizie danno l’impressione che l’attività parlamentare e ministeriale vada a rilento... non è così, infatti:
- nell'ambito della discussione sulla legge finanziaria il Senato ha confermato, con il solo voto contrario di dodici senatori, l'esenzione dal pagamento dell'ICI degli immobili a uso commerciale di proprietà degli enti ecclesiastici
- il ministro Fioroni ha dato il via al pagamento della prima tranche dei contributi statali alle scuole paritarie (private), pari a circa 127 milioni di Euro. Il Ministero ha precisato che “questi importi da accreditare immediatamente alle singole istituzioni scolastiche, costituiscono solo la prima parte del finanziamento previsto”.
Questi fatti non sono quasi mai raccontati dai media italiani. Viene da chiedersi se non siamo diventati un Paese a laicità condizionata. Un caro saluto.” Telmo Pievani, Università degli studi di Milano Bicocca.
In Italy, there is always a common denominator in politics, whether they be centre-left or centre-right: it takes its orders from foreign powers. The first of these is the Vatican and the second is the United States. The former dictates our laws, while the latter sets up military bases in Italy and enrols this country in wars, just like the mercenaries of old.
Of the two, the Vatican is by far the most dangerous, without any doubt. It has much more experience behind it and (always) wins its battles by having them fought by the devoted Italian Parties that are sitting in Parliament.
Telmo Pievani, who has documented the full story in his book entitled “Sante Ragioni” (“Sacred Reasons”) has written me a letter.
“Dear Beppe,
I wish to talk to you about the numerous “castes” that we have in our Country. What I am talking about is the ecclesiastical caste and its ever-increasing number of disciples that are active in the constitutional field and in the media.
I am a teacher of scientific philosophy by profession. In collaboration with a journalist friend, I have written a book intended to be an analytical discussion of the “Sacred Reasons” that are adopted by the leading figures of the Vatican hierarchy in order to justify the religious conditioning of the fundamental choices affecting the life of each and every citizen, from birth to death, from school to family and from bioethics to civil society. We are told repeatedly that it is not a matter of faith, nor of personal conviction, but rather a matter hat is the result of “proper reasoning” and “natural law” and, as such, is applicable to everyone. We took this matter seriously and verified that what we are dealing with is, in fact, a kind of non-existent rationality that is ideological and entirely unfounded. We have examined the consequences of these contradictory “reasons” – converted into State laws by increasingly industrious politicians, evenly distributed throughout both formations – regarding all our lifestyles. We have come to realise that the cultural climate in this Country is changing rapidly, and that as regards certain important issues, such as the freedom of scientific research, freedom of teaching and freedom in the biomedical field, there is a very real and documentable regression at play. A kind of creationist literature, which we thought was limited to American evangelical fundamentalists, is instead being spreading throughout our schools and our media. The Corriere della Sera newspaper and the RAI television channels are reviewing certain books that violently discredit the theory of evolution, and are filled to the brim with untruths, insults and scientific howlers. The latest “work” by Rosa Alberoni, “Il Dio di Michelangelo e la barba di Darwin” or “Michelangelo’s God and Darwin’s beard”, is presented in Rome, at a very prestigious venue, by former Ministers like Rocco Buttiglione, by RAI news service directors and other eminent figures such as Monsignor Rino Fisichella.
Let’s try to analyse a number of recent facts, namely certain documents, Parliamentary decisions, fund allocations and public statements. Here are some examples:
- the publication of the new Ministerial guidelines regarding Law No. 40 have been delayed, notwithstanding the overwhelming amount of data indicating its counterproductive effects of that unfortunate piece of legislation in terms of new births and discrimination against women
- as regards the bill relating to “de-facto” couples (Civil Solidarity Pacts, Stable service relationships, Civil relationships, ...), the restricted committee of the Senate, which was supposed to draft the bill in its final form, received approximately two thousand amendments, which will certainly bring all the Committee’s activities to a grinding halt for the next few months
- the law relating to living wills: as at June this year, the attempt being made to consolidate the eleven law proposals submitted into a single proposed bill had not as yet produced any results
- nothing further has been heard about the law relating to religious freedom
- funding for the research into exclusively adult stem cells, a unique case in terms of research ethics guidelines by the State: Minister Turco has firmly rejected an appeal from scientists working on previously gathered embryonic stem cell lines, and is even talking of a “gang war” between rival researchers
- the National Bioethics Committee has gone into what is essentially a permanent stall as a result of disputes between the secular minority and the (overwhelming) denominational majority. Influential secular scholars and scientists, Elena Cattaneo and Cinzia Caporale, have been “removed” from their positions as deputy chairmen
If these snippets create the impression that Parliamentary and Ministerial activities are grinding to a halt……..it is not so, in fact:
- within the scope of is deliberations regarding the Budget, the Senate, with only one of the twelve senators voting against the measure, voted in favour of extend the exemption granted on the payment of Rates and Taxes on properties belonging to Religious Bodies and used for business purposes
- Minister Fioroni gave the go-ahead for the payment of the initial instalment of the State funding for equivalent schools (private), t the tune of around 127 million Euro. The Minister pointed out that “these amounts, to be credited immediately to the individual educational institutions, only constitute an initial instalment in terms of the envisaged funding”.
These facts are seldom if ever mentioned in the Italian media. It begs the question as to whether we have become a Country that practices conditional secularism. Kindest regards.” Telmo Pievani, Bicocca Academic University of Milan
