I worked desks that were only one step up from that in the 70s/80s. $:-\$

I did a show on an (80s vintage) Zero88 Alphapack and a couple of 4-ways, once. It was crap.

Oh, and once with real dimmers, but a couple of these as a desk:

Fortunately that was a classical concert, so a couple of pots, a voltage reference and a load of jumpers and DIN connectors were sufficient for analogue two-preset style operation.

But you would be scoring to 101 or 201 instead of 61 or 121!!
Stop trying to decimalise a game that works with base 15.

Traditionally, of course, a cribbage board has a curved track, whereas a domino board has straight lines. I think that's largely forgotten now.

The control box at Sheffield Crucible had a massive pin patch panel, and I had to repatch during at least one show.

This shocking bit of cable run made me think of Kim facepalming

There is a large hole in the back of the cabinet for running cables onto the adjacent stage well away from fiddling fingers and the risk of slamming injury.

Wowbagger?

That's Edith Meeze, flying a Valkyrie from Shoreham Airport. Reminded me of Charlotte, for some reason, though the physical similarity might be someone else..

The mermaid has more than a passing resemblance to Butterfly (commenting on the neck upwards obv.).

Kim · « **Reply #369 on:** 19 September, 2012, 07:10:28 pm »

Yeah, she certainly doesn't look anything like Wowbagger.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #370 on:** 19 September, 2012, 07:15:09 pm »

The bloke holding onto his molluscs seems tp be suffering from helmet hair.

I know of at least one forumite who has a Sussex pad, and I'm glad that he does:

This photo makes me think of Butterfly, but then she had helped to create the stack!
