OK, I'll get this started and will continue to fill in the gaps as I have time. I'm going to be pretty busy the rest of then next 4-5 days....I apologize in advance if any of these pix are dupes, but this thread will give me a chance to organize and to tell the whole story, which believe it or not is actually pretty interesting.

As shown to me in their tomb....

I started to get a clue as to their size by the red chairs in the background. I would have loved to get the risers too, but it just wasn't in the cards...

Egads! Tomb robbers!.....

Happy New Papa.... Stay tuned. Plenty more to come....

One thing I am looking for is any information on the IPC, Simplex XL, Simplex W, etc.

I'm hoping to keep the whole set together for posterity's sake as a piece of living sonic history.

In the mean time I'm searching for more info....
