Coburg Town Hall, Coburg, Victoria.
The Christie console which controls the Blackett and Howden organ at the Coburg Town Hall. The organ, which was made in 1929 in Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK, was in the Cinema North in Reservoir until it closed in 1971 and the console was from the Lyceum Theatre in Sydney. I am not sure when the organ was actually brought out from the UK.
The instrument was put through its paces to a packed audience last night (7 March) by Aaron Choulai and the Australian Art Orchestra as part of the 2024 Brunswick Music Festival.
I managed to get a quick pic prior to the performance as photography other than official photography wasn't permitted.
Here's a sneak peek of stuff I'm getting ready for brickworld. Luckily this is very small compared to some stuff I have in the works. Pictured are Clara, the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor Who and the Other Doctor, featured in the fiftieth anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor.
Doctor Who, TARDIS and all related names, images, etc. are property of the British Broadcasting corporation. All rights reserved.
This is mostly me wanting to give GunnBuilding's TARDIS arch design a go, coupled with working up a proper powered time rotor from my previous test model.
Featuring a potential incarnation of the Doctor, full wheelchair access (really bugs me that this isn't something modern console rooms have ever had) and a few special guests lurking in the catacombs!

It's been a while since we've had something on all fours here. But how could I resist such a lovely old Consul..

SET 3 – Pier 1 Closing, Southaven
In this pic we’re taking a look at the front right corner of Southaven’s liquidating Pier 1 Imports store, as seen (once again) shortly after reopening from the coronavirus shutdown, in late May of 2020. The typical supper dishes and glasses found on this side of the salesfloor are still found on the shelving along the perimeter wall in this view, but the stuff actually occupying the floating space in the foreground here is decidedly less practical as far as kitchen utensils go; instead, we find lots of wreaths, as well as a wooden console cabinet with mirror which, although nice, is probably not something somebody would want to put in their kitchen – I may be mistaken on that, though!

This is the exterior operating console for the new Superior Pak Collector rear loader, something I think may have been inspired by the old Papas controls station positioned similarly. The black button on the far left and the large red button on the far right don’t need any clarification, two very obvious uses. The red switch is a very neat idea however, giving the operator the ability to control the lights as required from not just inside the cab – it’s easy to forget the hopper lamp going from daylight into a dark loading dock. The lifter button is used in conjunction with the up/down controller, which acts as a dead man, needing both to be used together to allow the bin lifter to function. In the case of manual packer operation, the green slide and sweep buttons are also used simultaneously with the controller lever to achieve the 4 pack cycle stages. When the packer mode is switched to auto, the green button on the right activates an automatic cycle, firstly opening the sweep and lowering the slide, where a second press is required to close the sweep and raise the slide. Auto gather mode for the lifter is a newer thing for Aussie rear loaders, and can be essential with the dead man setup, given 2 hands are needed at the controls instead of one hand being able to move a bin at the lifter. The concept of this mode is more focused on hilly terrain or uneven surfaces, where the operator can push a bin against the lifter and a fixed laser beam, triggering an automatic rise to a preset height so the bin can be easily secured onto the lifter teeth.

This is a close-up of the control panel found in a somewhat old Cleanaway front-lift. The shown console has been used to operate the many Pegasus bodies built from the beginning and throughout the first decade of the 2000s. The console itself and the layout of all switches and warning lights basically didn’t change a single bit! The only real obvious alteration has been the pairs of red/green buttons taking a different shape in later models, different to the original curved buttons. Much like the Raptor you can see Superior Pak had another of those simple operating systems where all the basics you need are right there in front of you. Similar with a lot of other old school control boxes, it’s not hard to figure out what all the buttons and switches do. What might stand out on this console is the body key switch, which is meant to restrict who uses the service hoist on fullpack models - the halfpacks feature another pair of red/green buttons to enable unloading. This control console was replaced with the screen interface system around 2010, part of the evolution of the Pegasus series.
Made between 1954 and 1959 by The Zenith Radio Corporation in Chicago, IL

I got this Zenith Console from my parent's. It is one of the last consoles from Zenith. The color is a little off but the old shows I watch on it look great on it. I mostly watch DVDs and VHS but I converted it for DTV (black box on left). The Realistic Quatravox on the right converts the audio to simulated four-channel. The logo on the screen was created for me by an online friend.
The tears start collecting in her eyes before they run down her face. She sobs and cries as she covers her face.
Cristy - "He killed him!! They just killed him like he was worth nothing!!"
These bastards...they killed her father; not only the only family she had, but the only person she's ever known for most of her life. It's just...god, I can't think of anything to say. I mean, when they'd executed Jesse and the rest of them...I wasn't even that close of a friend to Jesse, and the other two I barely even knew, it wasn't really that hard on me. I can only imagine the kind of sorrow and fear she's had in her all this time. Jesus...
She continues sobbing, and I'm just sitting here. I just feel horrible. I inch over to her, put an arm around her and try to comfort her.
Phin - "It-...it's okay, you-"
Cristy - "It's not okay!! He's dead! He's dead and I can never get him back!! He was everything I had, and they just took him away!!"
I have no idea how to respond. I pause for a moment to put my words together while she continues sobbing.
Phin - "I-...*sigh* I know I'm in no place to say this. I can't imagine what it'd be like loosing someone that close to you. But...you said he was teaching you to be able to live and survive on your own. Maybe...he knew that...eventually, the day would come when he wouldn't be able to come back for you...and you'd have to go on by yourself."
Cristy lowers her hands a little and looks at me. She starts to calm down and sniffles to herself.
Phin - "I know he must have loved you. But deep down, he knew that it was only a matter of time before he'd-..."
I stop myself and pause for a moment. I move a little closer, trying to soothe her as much as I can.
Phin - "L-look, I-...I know I'm just...some stranger you ran into out here. I'm probably nothing compared to what you had between your dad. But I want you to know that I'm-...I'm here for you. You don't deserve what you had to go through. But I'm going to make sure that nothing like that ever happens again. You understand me?"
Cristy - "*Sniff* Yes..."
Phin - "...It's all right...it's going to be okay. Just let it out."
We both sat there for the next few minutes as Cristy continued crying away.
Porsche Carrera GT
Chassis n° WP0ZZZ98Z5L000102
RM Sotheby's

Frankrijk - France
February 2020
Estimated : € 775.000 - 875.000
Unsold (Highest bid : € 625.000)
Starting life as a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, this car was delivered new to Gemballa and to Mirage GT specifications. Gemballa has built an impressive reputation for modifying Porsches, but even for a car as extraordinary as the Carrera GT, Gemballa turned it into a hypercar without rivals.
Utilising a bespoke ram air intake system, freer-flowing stainless-steel exhaust with sport metal catalytic convertors, and remapped ECU, Gemballa coaxed another 58 bhp from the Carrera GT’s 5.7-litre V-10 engine, bringing total output to 670 bhp and 630 Nm of torque. A sprint to 100 km/h takes just 3.7 seconds, leading to a top speed of 335 km/h.
Gemballa also upgraded the suspension utilising adjustable coil-over shocks and independent adjustment for the bounce and rebound settings of its gas-filled dampers. Both axles can be adjusted with a simple push of a button to adjust ride height when needed. Gemballa designed five-spoke wheels to help the cooling of the car’s ceramic composite brakes. Furthermore, those familiar with Carrera GTs will know that the clutch can be difficult. Gemballa’s replacement features special pads developed to improve the metering of clutch pedal pressure, thus ensuring a smooth and judder-free engagement in stop-go traffic. The centre console was redesigned to add an infotainment system with satellite navigation that can track the car’s instantaneous acceleration, lateral acceleration, and deceleration.
Amongst the twenty-five Mirage GTs, this example remains even more special, as it is one of just three Gold Edition Mirage GTs. These cars remained distinctive from their brethren thanks to various gold accents on the rear wing, wheels, air intakes, and mirrors. The theme continues inside, with various trim on the door handles, instrument cluster, gear shifter, steering wheel, and switchgear all finished in gold.
Adding to this Mirage GT’s allure is its provenance; its first and only registered owner was Samuel Eto’o, the Cameroonian football player regarded by many as one of the most talented to play the game and whose achievements include winning a gold medal for the Cameroonian football team in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. After its delivery, the car was registered at his residence in Paris.
Having travelled less than 6,500 km from new, the car was serviced by Porsche in Stuttgart in January of 2020 and remains in excellent condition throughout; it would stand out in any supercar collection.
