My father in law's last camera. It has been dormant for a number of years with an unfiinished film in it from VSCC Prescott. I thought it had packed up. Fresh batteries today and it all seems to work. The styling was by Luigi Colani. I think he did rather better with this than he did with the Eiffleland March in the early 70s...
From Wiki:
"The Canon T90, introduced in 1986, is the top of the line in Canon's T series of 35 mm Single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. It is the last professional-level manual-focus camera from Canon, and the last professional camera to use the Canon FD lens mount. Although it was overtaken by the autofocus revolution and Canon's new, incompatible EOS (Electro-Optical System) after only a year in production, the T90 pioneered many concepts seen in high-end Canon cameras up to the present day, particularly the user interface, industrial design, and the high level of automation."

I just finished this yesterday. Based on an original design that I built in college, this is an LED lightshow that plugs into any audio source. (I have it on top of our home entertainment system, so it shows whatever we're listening to or watching.)
The display is divided vertically into left and right channels. It displays the top half of the waveform of each channel with their zero levels in the center. The two knobs control the amplitude and the sweep speed.
When set to the right speed, a strong bass note will show up as a floating red bubble. A note an octave up will be two bubbles. Notes inbetween will be a series of bubbles floating up or down the display. Of course, all the other frequencies are in there, too, so you get a much more complicated display, but the bass tends to be the most prominent. Dynamics from drums, etc. cause the width to pulse. It all ends up being quite hypnotic.
The box... well, it's just a black box I built with a plexiglass front. Suggestions for a sexier box are welcome!
Here's the link to see the box in action:

Update October 13:
Here's the circuit diagram! Please let me know if you build one!
The Fuji GW670III is on loan from my camera dealer cousin. It's a 6x7 mechanical and meterless rangefinder. The Fujinon lenses are notriously sharp and I'm a fan of the 6x7 aspect ratio, so I was eager to give it a go. I knew that the Fuji RF's were big but I was not prepared for the size of this monstrosoty. They don't call it the Texas Leica for nothing. Here it is next to my regular workhorse M6 TTL for a sense of scale. In all fairness Fuji did make this same body/chassis/lens combo in cameras that covered 6x8 and 6x9, so the size is somewhat justified in those cases. This is more of a landscape camera and not very condusive to the kind of shooting I like to do. Though I like the idea of a 90mm being a standard lens on 6x7 as I think the 80mm on the Mamiya 7 is a little wide (this is closer to 45mm and the Mamiya closer to 39mm). The shutter is a loud metallic clang, it's not a graceful rangefinder like my Mamiya 6 or Leica M. Also the rf patch is not very contrasty, a bit of a dissapointment for the third generation Fuji rf. In any event it will be fun to run a few rolls through it.

Ein seltener US-Receiver im sehr guten Zustand mit ausreichend Anschlussmöglichkeiten. Das Topmodell der Reihe.
Just finished my new stereo shelf, instead of the crappy computer speakers I run this setup now. Speakers slightly tilted downwards. Sounds great!
More spec just for the record:
Audio source: Yamaha CD-NT670 D
Amplifier: Yamaha A-U670
Speakers: Monitor Audio Bronze 1
Bits and bobs
Pictures taken during exercising my hobby (electronics) and building/disassembling amplifiers and/or upgrading a record player tonearm and pre-amplifier. Anyway, a text was needed, to describe this lot, and here it is (the text and the lot, enjoy the pictures :)).
To find out the true frequency I need another transmitter or reference VFO that can transmit in this range. The way the morse receiver works the frequency displayed is not the actual frequency it's listening to, though the difference isn't large.
This was another camera on my bucket list to cross off. The 1959 Yashica 35 YK with a Yashinon 4.5cm 1:2.8 lens and a Copal-SV shutter from 1/25 to 1/300.
It's looks are what grabbed me, I love the Contax II and it's copies. This is similar to the Yashica 35 which is a Contax copy somewhat.

The Schneider Kreuznach Xenotar 2.8 80mm. One of the best ever F 1:2.8 80mm MF lenses?
This lens was made for Exakta 66, discontinued 2001. At Photodo this lens is rated 3.8. For comparison the Hasselblad Planar CF 80/2,8 was rated 3.7
A well-reputed lens testing company once wrote, that the best lens they ever tested was the Xenotar 2.8 80mm for Rolleiflex 6008AF (2100 USD @ Adorama) - this one - for Exakta 66 - is optically identical, but manually focused - can be found used for 400 USD. See: www.pbase.com/cameras/schneider/xenotar_80_28_pqs_hft_af
Coming in the front entrance and hanging a left down the first aisle (at least, I *think* this is the very first aisle), this is the view one would encounter. I kind of like those big overhead signs, but I feel certain the style as seen here is going to be changing, at least a little bit...

WEEK 20.2 – “Conns”truction Update
While the previous pictures were taken from Hudgins Road (which actually dead-ends right past that interstate-facing entrance I just showed you), this one is taken from the familiar perch of the former Super K's parking lot. Signs were going up at a fast pace, and I expect the main Conn's sign may well be on the building at this point. Judging by the design of similar new Conn's stores, I'm guessing “mattresses” is the word being prepped for installation on the bottom right in this shot.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

This is what a notebook computer looks like in 2013. It's more commonly referred to as a notebook than a laptop. The first computer that I could remember was an Intel 386 back in the late 80's in Hong Kong. I've seen the explosion of the Internet along with the rise and fall of the phone line modems peaking at 56k speeds. I remember 13 years ago when AMD broke the 1GHz barrier with their Athlon. There was a time when CPU's could just be passively cooled. The emergence of wireless Ethernet was at times painful, but welcomed. This little machine with a diagonal of 11.6" no thicker than an inch is definitely more powerful than anything that I've cobbled together with parts. Quite nice to have so much computing power in a rather small package. The next technology improvement that I'm really looking forward to is for the widespread adoption of 300dpi LCD screens.
