You should have seen my buddy's basement before he moved. He had a really nice 
"rec' room" with a pool table, arcade games (Haunted House with a broken vortex 
in the backglass because the motors they used all went bad), fancy audio system 
including a pair of electrostatic speakers he bought at a yard sale, a bar...

And all of it was buried. Stuff piled all over the billiard table, a dozen 17" 
CRT monitors underneath it and so on. A side room with piles of Tek scopes and 
computer parts up to the ceiling. Then his "shop" with at least a dozen caddies 
full of actually desirable tubes, filing cabinets full of schematics and 
service manuals, and a 7' rack cabinet completely filled with gear. That's 
where the Nixie stuff came from.

His real shop was his garage. More arcade games in various states of repair and 
anything else that was too big to put anywhere else.

You should see the shop I'm going to have when I win the lottery. Detached from 
the house in case of a fire. Necessary because of the neon department..

It is a compliment... plus a dash of pure envy :D

I'll take that as a complement (if it was referring to me). All of it has been 
stored in a smoke free, climate controlled environment. An environment that's 
crammed full. The heart of my Nixie collection is test gear that a friend 
(who's even more of a hoarder and has better stuff) reluctantly gave to me 
before he had to pack up and move to a smaller house.

Q: Should car stereo speakers be pointed to the rear for more thrust or up for 
more traction?

A. On long trips, the 20- to 30% improvement in gas mileage you might get with 
speakers pointing to the rear is certainly worthwhile. On the other hand, if 
you drive on snow or ice, the extra traction of speakers pointing upward gives 
you added control.

I have one that's very similar but no idea where it is so I can't make a 
comparison. Nevertheless, if you have more I'm interested.
