Facebook

Facebook keeps implying that this woman is looking for me...is she looking for any of you too, or is it just me???

[Dan Belcher]

How the hell can she look for anybody?  She's got a black box across her face covering her eyes!

[Spookyman]

No, she's not looking for me.  

[pianotuner steveo]

I thought facebook was something for kids? Never seen it...

[Clavier]

No, I'm good.

This thread could go downhill in so many ways. I really have to resist the urge to post cheap gags like "was she looking to borrow your bushing tightener" and so forth.

[Ben Bove]

Well now that you've opened the gates, I would mention to stay away from her... her nickname is "tine cutter."

[Rob A]

She said she needed help with her sloppy action and also was looking for a couple pickups.

[jus]

I'd like to give that pedestal a good bump.

[Rob A]

She was only a Rhodes tech's daughter but oh how her push rod assembly bottom felt.













look it up in the manual it;'s part number 35.

[pianotuner steveo]

Good ones, Rob!

Well now that you've opened the gates, I would mention to stay away from her... her nickname is "tine cutter."

actually she's a just a Mk 8 from the future  - she'll turn back Terminator style if you play the right tune

[Ben Bove]

ok - Wow in general hahaha.

[MuMajor]

Nice white finish, but removing the tolex could be interesting too.

[Rob A]

Whoever did the restoration apparently couldn't find the factory original knobs. That's a common problem with the ones from the early seventies.

I bet the cross braces have been missing for a while--shows signs of excessive play in the legs.

[MuMajor]

And whoever did the restoration had a rather unusual idea as to where the cheek block should be placed.

From the yahoo Rhodes group back in 2002 (topic: "Somebody has to say it"; begins with Message #12162 in that group):

On that note, I'm happy to report that my wife and I have been able to sustain our marriage for over 16 years. I've never felt happier. But don't put us up on a pedestal; we've had our bumps along the way. The key is love. Don't put a damper on yours! That's my only tip.

Still trying to figure out how to fit "vibrato" and "preamp" into a message like this,

Yeah, most married people don't use the "vibrato" much after the first couple of years

That must be why someone invented the "exciter". Which works fine until her phase shifting begins.

> All that is after the preamp, but before the power amp.
I *think*. Anybody seen a schematic?

> Oh, by the time you have to resort to the exciter, you've probably forgotten all about what you used to do with the bridal (sic) straps.

>Lock the door and drag out the bridal straps..... Yep! I've been down that rhodes before.

Tell me Rick, what was the pickup line you used to seduce your wife?

>I know what you're thinking, Steven; I did NOT ask if she wanted to see my push >rod assembly!

Sheesh, no, that would have elicited quite a nasty striking line I would think! I bet if you suggested it to her even now, she would just pack her suitcase and leave!

On a lighter note: what's the difference between a pregnant woman and a Damper Release Bar Pivot Pin Locking Screw (see

You can UNscrew a Damper Release Bar Pivot Pin Locking Screw.

I've always been a little frightened of marriage.  If I were at the alter, I'm sure all I would be able to concentrate on would be my escapement

Damn action is far too soft, where's the manual?
