    RE: the estate....Here is what I walk away with: Talk to them while they're still with us. Get to know them, and learn their stories (if they're willing to share). The knowledge this man took with him far outweighs the value of all the electronic parts he left behind. This place is a shrine. If only the walls could talk. RIP genius.

      I wonder if this guy did build that house himself or something. My daddy owned his own lumber business and built our house using the lumber.when I looked at much of the house some of the lumber kind of remind me of what was built in the house for example the fold away stairs leading to the attic and even some of the lumber nailed in the attic itself.

    I attended an estate auction in Missouri similar to the one seen here. It took three weekends running two rings to auction off everything. Everything was laid out where you could see what was there. There were three 20 foot long trailers full of tubes most of which were brand new old stock. All good numbers. Lots of rare Western Electric tubes. The man had owned movie theaters at one time. He had a complete pair of Simplex 35mm projectors with carbon arc lamphouses and a working Vitaphone system still connected to the projectors. There were lots of Vitaphone records included. It was a once in a lifetime kind of event too see all of the stuf. They had two flatbed trailers piled full of nothing but vintage movie posters. Thousands of 35mm trailers. It was insane! I spent every dime i had at the time. I bought the record collection. 2,500 unplayed promo 45's of 50's R&B, Blues, DooWop, Bluegrass, Skiffle, Rockabilly and Country. About 1,000 78's of pre-war(30's) Blues, Bluegrass, R&B, Rockabilly. I didn't have enough money or room to buy it all. Everything was good stuff.

  • @jimw7ry
    @jimw7ry Месяц назад +10

    Those "cracks" in the wooden posts and the railing rail, are called a check. Normal for all un-sawen wood to get those. Does not take away strength.
    And yes, the roof tung and groove planks are 2X6 planks. Then high density foam is placed over the top of the T&G, then more planking for securing the usually metal roof. (I'm a former log home owner). Although the log look inside of the house is just log siding.
    Plywood floor is to be covered with carpet, or vinyl plank flooring, just like you put in the house with the concrete floor.
    That place would go up SUPER QUICK if there were a fire in it!

    That house more than likely came as a kit.😊 BTW: That type of ceiling is typically called or known as "cinemax" tongue & groove. It comes in 6 and 8 inch widths and 2.5" thickness; and being tongue and groove it can span 12 -14' spans (beam to beam). Joints can be anywhere within that span without loses in strength.

    That was a crazy amount of vintage electronics in that unfinished rustic log home. May have lived somewhere near
    Phoenix AZ ( I'm guessing as KNIX- FM was a clue). Also a member of the Association of North American Radio Clubs,
    i.e. ANARC. A better question would be where was his workbench? I didn't see a single oscilloscope there nor a vintage TV.
    Lots of Unobtainium radio power transformers were there! The peacock is the official bird of the City of Arcadia,CA! LOL

      After going to a few estate sales myself, I’ve wondered if that was their thinking too. They pack their homes and garages with so much gear and much of it goes unused. At one estate sale I got a lot of gear for free because it got to the point where they just wanted to get rid of it and nobody was buying. Upon opening a lot of it up, I encountered a lot of corrosion. It wasn’t even worth the time to restore and was trashed.

      Some grew up dirt poor. Never having anything they needed, or what they did have was broken. Or thought they wanted to be ready for the end of the world. No telling unless you know the person. I always think of how much information that is lost, or items that can never be made the same way again.. some of that metal was pre 1945.. low background radiation.
