Guts from an old Seeburg jukebox in a Williams California junkyard.

To see some SERIOUS old American iron:

I don't think that was ever part of a juke per se`, i think it was part of an installed music system. Very likely serviced(music changed) by a jukebox route man. Seeburg made a few interesting non-coin operated things like that, all of course relying on much of their jukebox technology.

Very cool photography, i had to look at them all.

That tractor is a 1949-51 Harry Ferguson TO-20, there's no Ford in it. But, it is the tractor Ford stole the 3 point hitch system for the 2N, 8N, 9N from and eventually lost a lawsuit over. The Ferguson's overhead valve Continental engine will pull the Flathead fords backward and is more reliable, mine's still running smooth and clean on it's original 1950 build.

Actually, i need to retract and correct. I think there's an oil filter canister visible between the tie rod and trailing arm directly below where the carburetor used to be, and that would make it a '52 or newer TO-30.

Did i just make a tractor post on the Altec board?

Isn't there a little "shutterbug" that resides in the Old Guy?

For whatever reason i sort of assumed you were looking at the photography(which is rather stunning) more than the subject matter.

Hadn't really thought about it, but metaphorically speaking, Altecs are old tractors which are truly outstanding in their field...................... all pun intended of course.

I took a year and a few months off from Pro audio to work as a photojournalist in the early 80's..

Okay money, fun to travel, but audio is a lot more satisfying...I got tired of traveling altogether. Still have my old Nikon F2A along with a couple of Nikon digitals...haven't shot film in a couple years though.

A business acquaintance said, come back and run a store I will make you a partner. End of traveling and touring except for personal reasons...only studio, retail and management since...

I love shooting old cars and nekkid girls....the former are less hazardous to my health since I live with a particularly volatile redhead...

I know folks use the expression "to die for' but for me a girl REALLY would have to be..

If anybody really does like artistic work of that type take it to PM...I have a friend who is an absolute master of the art.I'll shoot a link rather than wander farther off topic here. I can only stand in awe of his work.
