This is the puppy in my kitchen. Used to repair car radios part time a looooong time ago and have always liked to mess with them. Installed in school buses too. Anyhow, This is a Buick Regal AM FM cassette and CD mounted in a 5/8 thick piece of Walnut. Has a little wood box on the back to mount it into the wall. Those indicators are for the power charge. Have two Optimas in the basement with a charger maintainer hooked to them. When the power goes out the batteries will run the radio non stop for almost three days straight before the radio will poop out. Just use it like when you are there and I have no idea how long it will run but it is quite long. The best part is the speakers. Two Atlas 883 eight inch hi compliance studio speakers mounted in the celling. The Kitchen really ROCKS. They cost about $80.oo each unless you can pick them up on fleabay but you will need to buy like five or six at a time. The reason I use car radios is the superior recievers and they put out about 5 watts a channel. It is plenty loud just believe it. Use a regular antenna or you can use just a 38 inch piece of wire hooked to a cut off antenna lead from an old car. The BEST set up is to have a 3x3 foot piece of sheet steel like from a heat duct and ground it to the earth. Mount a standard car antenna in the middle of it. This will give you a standing wave antenna and it works even better. That is what your car is. Really not that hard to hook up but they take some time to install. Worth every penny and second.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
