I will ask the owner's permission to use one of the photos in the Gallery. Thanks for the good idea.

Now, as for the continued talk about a certain pay site, let's review Section V of the Phorum Rules.

V. Sending people away from the Phorum.

A. People come here to receive assistance. We are a community dedicated to Philco and related subjects. If a discussion is started here or a question is asked that relates to Philco, please do not send them to some other forum. If you want to link to a specific resource or tutorial on outside forums, that is fine, but simply telling people "you should post over at..." or "have you tried over at..." is not appropriate. It can frustrate members looking for solutions and not more forums to post in.

B. This also applies to forums associated with vendors of various radio parts, tubes, services, etc. Referring people to the vendor website is perfectly acceptable, as is referring them to specific resources, threads or tutorials in their forums; but telling them simply to go post or search in some other forums is not. Please remember, at all times, that they came here for the answer.

In my opinion - and Chuck and I are the final arbiters when it comes to the Phorum Rules - we are coming close to violating these rules (at least in spirit, if not in letter) with all of this talk about a certain pay site and sending photos there. I have therefore decided (reluctantly, I might add) to close this thread as I only see it going downhill from here.

I do not intend to turn this Phorum into a "police state" type of forum with heavy-handed moderating, nor would I want to see that happen. But at the same time, we do have rules here and I am serious about enforcing these rules.

That's all. Next case.
