It was ALMOST a two cardigan day, but I held back and now its a “cardigan and hoodie” day.

This is exactly what happens when I stay up past my bedtime. I find an amazing late 1940s tv/turntable/radio combo on Craigslist for $150. I’m not into vintage electronics but given my apparent obsession with early tvs, and hopes of learning how to get various obsolete mid century typesetting things at the Museum to work, I’m very tempted. A new hobby. Vaccum tubes!!
