Thanks Westend9 !
Yeah they are on just about every pole in my area to help add more power to the grid.
Scott Fitlin was a member here. That was his username. He was also a Super Moderator at LHeritage. He ran a bumper car place on Coney Island.
Yes 421's, he ran and owned the "Eldorado Auto Skooter"

Hey AB, good to hear you weathered through Sandy.
Not so happy to hear about the passing of Scott Fitlin, he was a very gracious and warm soul. Scott offered up a personal tour of his facility to me and my family on a past trip to Brooklyn. Unfortunately, schedules conspired to make that impossible. I'll always regret not being able to have met Scott in person, he was one of those folks that was dedicated to bringing the best sound to all around him and knew how to accomplish that. I hope on my next visit to the East Coast, I can visit the Eldorado and see Scott's passion in action.
Thanks Lance ! Thank You for the thought ! :smile2:
FWIW , I don't know how the folk's in Florida,Carolina's or the Gulf Coast deal with Cat 3-5 storms with 120-150 mph winds...
With only 80 mph sustained winds it was quite scary thinking a tree or something was going to tear apart my home..
Something I hope I never see again !

I know this is a really late response to this thread. I was without broadband service for so long that I'm just now getting back to speed.
I'm only a mile or two from the Ocean. The path predicted for Sandy, right up to an hour or so before she made landfall, looked like it went directly over my house!
I bought gas for the generator, tested it and then started getting about 20 pairs of mostly Altecs and 4 pairs of Tannoys to the second floor of my house.
The wind got to the point wherein the glass in the garage doors sounded like it exploded. Then stuff started getting sucked out side through the the small windows.
Lot of Altec horns and drivers in the garage as well as my A&'s and one pair of my Velenchias.
All I could do was to cover them with tarps and hope for the best.
In the end, the only damage to my audio gear was the destruction of the 12" Ortophon RMG-309 arm on my table which was quite close to where a window met a large tree branch.
Anyone got a 12" arm for sale or trade?
I'm glad that no one here was injured.
Peace,
Rick
