It'll be a postimage issue. Images are serving just fine for me in Europe and no delays in showing them either which sometimes happens. So, as Toby says, "hold tight folks"

Just because we have loads of beautiful lakes with amazing autumn colours right now... We drove the VW Beach with our bikes less than 1 hour from home and did a slow lap of the Wägitalersee (only 13km) followed by cooking burgers on the 533 for an early evening meal. https://i.postimg.cc/QMcxnxr8/20...

I was too young, but I do remember one of the later landings and seeing that one on tv. If you did not listen already, the BBC had a great podcast series about the landing called "13 Minutes to the Moon", and followed up with "The Apollo 13 Story" which is incredible. I highly recommend both. https:...

Sean!!!! Welcome home.

Thanks Timm, very informative.

Canon F-1 (old) with 50mm f/1.4 and Ilford HP5+ at ISO400.
I didn't take any notes, but likely this was near wide open. Also, apologies it's a very poor scan.

Oh and I can play here too!
Got these from Tony a couple years ago but have not even touched them yet!

OK this one I can do...

I missed this a few days ago, but Mark it's always great to see your photos and I look forward to the trips to the tower! Sounds like a great family trip as well!

Erwin, have a chat to Pascal about shipping from Switzerland. He has done it many times but not how active he is currently with selling/buying. I have not sent a lantern abroad for ages.

Oh my gosh Erwin, I am so sorry for you. How terrible. So the case was travelling with you and got pulled over and delayed?

Can you give me a post with a PDF so I can take a look?

I got the first film back from the Retina. Very happy with it - the shutter speeds seem to be pretty OK and I the only issues were self-made by forgetting to focus!!! Also, since it has no light meter I have been reading using an incident meter (when I can) which I have to say is totally new to me, ...

I use WhatsApp, it has basically killed SMS. Work we use Slack. Had Telegram once, not now.

Toby, I know you use WhatsApp as that's how you get hold of me

Dan reminded me on another thread that I need to post up my El-cheapo Harley Benton strat. $90 new. The neck is C profile apparently.

I like it. Fun to play through my tiny amp above. Have learned some more Dave Gilmour solos

Dear Moses.
Thank you for your observation. You are correct.
There are no plans to change it.

Keep it. Although by now your inbox will be flooded with offers.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

Today is 8 years since I registered on the CCF. Time goes by so fast these days. Although I don't get any spare moment for fixing up lanterns right now, I have a good pile to dig into when the opportunity opens up again. With 4 kids and 3 grandkids, plus work, my wife and I seem to be busier than we...

Being from the UK, bacon there tends to be 'back' or 'streaky' bacon, and is thicker than the bacon I've had in the US. In Switzerland the bacon is similar to the thin US style, but they do have a 'farmers' bacon that more closely matches the UK version but is hard to find. So I prefer the thicker b...

Yes very sad. Her place is 10 minutes down the hill from us here in Zurich.
Maybe I should go put some flowers outside the gate.

Everyone. Google Analytics does not differentiate if member or not.

Mine arrived over here in Middle Earth yesterday. Thanks to all the contributors and everyone who makes it happen. I know John has a fun time trying to keep up with y'all who re-register last-minute despite all the reminders. And, as the guy who re-built the ICCC website a couple years ago (yeah, I ...

Here in Switzerland every rented apartment interior is painted white on a granular wall finish that takes skin to the bone if you accidentally brush on it. You can paint it anything you like, but at your own cost you have to make it white again on hand-over. It makes life so much easier (and cheaper...

Congratulations to your daughter, and to you Greg. What a great feeling as a parent to have your kids achieving at such a high level.

Well I've been taking a good few films since the first post now. Picked up a Canon 650 for a couple $ which was their first EOS and works flawlessly. But I have to confess I just got a Kodak Retina I from about 1950 that seems to be in working order so that is where the next roll of film is going 📷 ...

I just heard of the passing of a dear friend and colleague yesterday. About 3 years ago he was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and was given weeks to live. He and his wife researched everything to beat it, and I would say he gave it real run for its money by adopting a medical regime well out...

Nice one Mark, I don't have a USFS yet so I'm jealous of course.
I'd love a red one with the embossed fount but I think a bit too much $$$ these days!

Nice line up!
That 'other Canadian' is one of those models that still goes for crazy money on auction sites.

Normal service has been resumed... Move along, nothing to see here... I will have a word with management about letting Dead Guy lose in the back end.

Wasn't me. Honest!

When I do a 'Full Editor' post everything looks like it used to. But reading the thread then all is bold...

So I'm as puzzled as you guys, which is generally not a good sign as normally I make the changes!

Nice. FYI we will lose local FM radio broadcasts here at the end of 2024.

Just to show that I still occasionally add to the herd... A 249 scout I picked up here a couple weeks ago at a reasonable price. A bit wonky but it'll straighten up I'm sure. Glad I bought some spare globes a few years back as it makes buying them without much easier! https://i.postimg.cc/66ZbZbYM/I...

I just got me one of these. I'm impressed with it so far. 3W and 6 x AA batteries with a bunch of effects.

Stove to show size!

I found a thread on my example:

https://www.colemancollectorsforum.com/ ... 2B#p139272

Check with Terry Marsh.

I have a 8/55 242B in a similar state as that (about 4/5 down this page you'll see it https://terry-marsh.com/coleman-us-lanterns-1946-1960/ ). Another collector found one other like that over here too, 8/55 as well i think.

I wish I could claim credit, but I have to admit to doing nothing.
Glad it's working though.

Yep, so it seems some of you see the PostImage and some not. That's a hard one for me to get a handle on, unless there's a common thread like: location, OS, browser, etc.
And it's nearing my bedtime here

OK then you have a local PostImages issue if you don't see the top image. If you don't see the second then something is up with the forum, or the image file on the forum. The first image is uploaded using the blue 'P' and the second is direct to the forum. I sometimes see an issue with PostImages wh...

Do you see this one?

And what about this one?

This rather sad little guy's image is 256k... so I think it's fine now.

It's fixed. Try again.

I have a couple of Phoebus stoves with nice graphics on the tin boxes. Camping scenes I think.

ALl these guitars reminds me of this video...

Someone explain to me where that guitar goes at the end!!!???

Gary, thanks for sharing a bit of your story. I'm sure it would be a fantastic evening listening to you tell about your time on the road, not to mention the drag car stuff too! Really sorry to hear of your diagnosis and wishing you every success to get through that. I hope you still get to play for ...

Wow 'gelane' that is an awesome array of gear. Some of those look pretty special!
Liking the Marshall head, the blue acoustic and the 60's LP of course!
Tell us how come you have such a collection, you're not Joe Bonamassa in disguise?

Nice guitars gentlemen. Very nice.

I've wondered about getting a tele or strat, but back in the day when I played my buddy's strat the neck felt thin and narrow compared to my LP copy, and I didn't like it. Question to those who have both, is there a real difference and if so how do you find it?

Had a few moments to whip out the guitars and take some photos, so here goes: #1 Epiphone 12 string FR212 Bought this way back in '84 for £129.00 after I sold my Les Paul copy and went into a 'Led Zep III' phase... that was a heck of a lot of money for me then! Never been able to let it go, so there...

Based on the indications we have a few guitar players on the forum, I propose folks post up their prized ax's and provide as much or as little history as you want. Also, amps and pedals are welcome!

Let's turn it up to eleven!

Okay, okay, we need a guitar thread...

Guilty your honour.

Actually, funny you should mention as this past few days I've learned the solo from Mother, and been playing "Is There Anybody Out There?" on the Fender acoustic my son bought me for Christmas.

Maybe we should have a Guitar Thread on here!
