Finally posting after following and learning on this forum for a couple of years! I purchased a UPA-2 and some Ultra cables in finishing up my Home Entertainment set-up. Then I moved into collecting and restoring vintage (1970s) stuff. I will post some pictures, soon.
I live in Fredericksburg, Va. and work at North Anna Power Station= yes we were the one shut down by the August 23 Magnitude 5.8 Earthquake! Finally starting back up, so maybe I can get some time off! Still learning how to work the forum/ posting pix, etc. I've learned a lot from you guys on this forum, and expect to learn lots more!
