  Hi everyone,

   

  The sad news is that instead of checking out the awesome displays assembled out of your collections on Friday evening, I'm going to be recovering from jet lag in Lisbon before I give a talk on RCA's Nuvistor tube at the 51st Society for the History of Technology meeting.  I'll be back Wednesday the 15th.

   

  The good news is that Dorothy Sadley is graciously filling in so that the show can go on.  All she asks is that no one spit tobacco juice in the corners of the Auditorium, and club members police the area before leaving by 10 pm.

   

  Since she's not a microphone fiend, we'll leave it to Dave Snellman or a reasonable facsimile thereof to set up; the Control Room will be open.

   

  Finally, and most importantly, I'm relying on you all to volunteer 15 1930s radios that don't sing like birds but remain rock-steady for the Hunterdon Radio Theatre's two performances of War of the Worlds on Saturday the 25th.  This is the capstone of our Martians for Education Festival (davidsarnoff.org/m4e_festival_2008.html), which starts with our open house and the club's repair clinic on the 18th; continues on the 22nd with a great, free, 3D lecture on looking for life on Mars; and rolls up on Saturday with the David Sarnoff Radio Club's ham station W0W in Grover's Mill and our theatrical broadcasts to raise some funds for the Library's field trip programs.  This is a great opportunity to show off the cream of your collections in a warm and wonderful venue and move the Library and its educational offerings another notch.

   

  Can Richard Lee keep a little list?  Specifically we're looking for 3 consoles and 12 tabletops for that 16-channel mono surround sound that is such a memorable trademark of the 1938 home listening experience.

   

  Thanks in advance,

   

  Alex
