Philco 630B Tombstone
#7

Ron..PTSD stands for post-traumatic stress disorder. It is what happens to a person emotionally after something bad happens to them( war,plane crash, fire). In my case(yes, I have it..from combat in Vietnam) it is actually a mental illness.
Annie's eyes 'saw', but they were blank from being turned inward. In my case, I guess you could say that a part of me never left the Mekong Delta.
Now back to My 630B!! It wasn't packed very well fore it's UPS trip. More truthfully, it was BADLY packed. And packed flat. Icon_eek
So when it arrived, the speaker had nearly pulled itself loose from the cabinet Icon_evil ,but the damage is easily fixable. It could have EASILY been avoided by proper packing technique. GRRRR-R-R Icon_evil Icon_evil
This set is a lot porkier than I thought, but every time I look at it, I grin Icon_mrgreen Icon_mrgreen So I'm a crazy Philcophyle!!!!


Where have all the pieces gone
long time broken
Where have all the pieces gone
of my old radio
Where have all the pieces gone
smashed to toothpicks everyone
When will they ever learn
When will they eeee-e-e-ever learn
