Austin Mini Maintenance Woes


As soon as I got the brakes sorted...


...I had the exhaust leak fixed. 


In preparation for the summer heat, I installed the 
heater matrix 
to function as an auxiliary radiator.


I was about to take out the clutch master cylinder 
to clean up the rust, but it was too late.

Now I have to wait a few weeks for a replacement clutch master cylinder ;(

Listening Room - JE Labs


Hi-Fi Lounge, late 2008

I started this blog in 2011 and overlooked the fact that I haven't posted details of my systems. Visitors who remember the defunct site will be familiar with most of the components apart from a change in venue.

Altec 32C horn redux

Three years ago I replaced the Altec 811 horns with Altec 32C horns in my 2-way speaker system. I think I now have an unscientific explanation as to why I've been enjoying the Altec 32C.
