  1. I found that company listed. In 1960 they had 25 employees and their business was making "TV stack stools."

  2. There are kits if you want to go bigger. read this link on the "time-sert" it says stripped hole needs to be 0.660 inches diameter or smaller NOTE: If the hole was previously REPAIRED with Helicoil or save-a-thread style insert. Use our BIG-SERT for oversized spark plug repairs click here: " OVERSIZED HOLES" For Spark plugs that have been previously repaired. The stripped hole should not be larger than 16.8mm or .660 inches. http://www.timesert.com/html/sparkplug.html http://www.timesert.com/html/bigsert_sparkplug.html
  3. The one auctioned was a 1902, while the op says he bought a 1901. https://silodrome.com/gasmobile-runabout/ http://www.american-automobiles.com/Gasmobile.html
  4. There are some videos on balancing Harley flywheels. Not sure if they'd help. They install a dummy weight, or bob weight, in the place of the connecting rods.
  5. STANLEY, Idaho—Bill Harrah, the Reno gambling baron, has been a regular visitor to Stanley for almost 40 years. Apparently he likes this town—he has already bought half of it. He is also buying up much of Idaho, providing something of a mystery about his intentions. At any rate, his millions are at work, not only in the form of acquisitions but also in construction. Mr. Harrah is the biggest thing to hit town since Capt. John Stanley fed a group of prospectors into the Stanley Basin in 1863. In the years before Mr. Harrah started buying up land and businesses, the place didn't grow much. The official highway sign lists the population as 47, but people here say more than 160 persons now live in Stanley. Mayor Gerald Nicholson estimates that more than $3 million has been invested in Stanley by Mr. Harrah. There seems to be no way to determine the exact amount because the multimillionaire is tight‐lipped. “You can talk to Mr. Harrah for an hour, and when you get done you don't know any more than when you started,” said Maxine Baptiste, manager of the Harrah‐owned Mountain Village Cafe. Many Idaho citizens fear that the Nevada gambling tycoon will turn Stanley into a casino town if gambling is ever legalized here. There has been a lobbying effort in the Idaho Legislature, but there has been no apparent Harrah political influence. So far the Legislature has not considered any bills to legalize gambling in Idaho. Bud James, president of the Chamber of Commerce, feels that Idaho gambling would detract from Mr. Harrah's Reno and Lake Tahoe operations. “All of the businesses are benefiting from Mr. Harrah's presence. One thing is certain though: You don't know what he is going to do until he does it,” said Mr. James, who is assistant manager of Saw Tooth Mercantile, a Harrah holding. “My current guess is that he is attempting to make a model Western town, sort of like Henry Ford's Greenfield Village near Detroit,” Mr. James said. At any rate, Mr. Harrah's construction workers are busy remodeling businesses throughout the town, usually adding massive timbers and rough‐cut lumber facades. Mr. Harrah, an antique‐car buff, has a Stanley Steamer nn display in a huge glass case at one of the service stations he owns in Stanley. Stanharrah is the name of his corporation devoted to Idaho ventures. Mark Curtis, vice president of Harrah's Club in Reno, declared that Mr. Harrah's Idaho enterprises were personal and separate from the gambling operation. Mr. Curtis denied there were any plans to establish a casino in Stanley. “There is no ultimate goal or grandiose plan,” he said. “Mr. Harrah's first efforts are to improve anything he owns. He's just that kind of guy. He loves the Stanley area and the people. Rather than just be a visitor, he wants to be part of the community.” Part of Mr. Harrah's community involvement has been to provide housing —there is a severe shortage—for his 60 employees and a fire truck and station. Also he has made cash donations toward a community meeting center. “He sincerely wants to keep a Western atmosphere in Stanley. He wants it to be a nice town and not full of condominiums,” said Ivan Sack, a retired Forest Service forester employed by Mr. Harrah as a “resource consultant.” Mr. Harrah, a tall gray‐haired 65year‐old man, is often seen in Stanley along with his wife, Verna, and their sons. He has been a regular visitor (now using a 20‐passenger private plane) since 1939, and he maintains a home here. He usually leaves a $5 tip regardless of what he orders, according to one waitress. While nobody in Stanley has much bad to say about the Harrah acquisitions, some people are afraid of what “could happen.” So far Mr. Harrah owns about 70 acres of Stanley, the only two filling stations in town, two restaurants, a grocery, a pizza parlor and a motel. He has plans for another restaurant. No one knows—or will say—what Mr. Harrah ultimately plans to do in Idaho. Whatever it is, he will have plenty of land and business holdings from which to launch any venture.
  6. Great job, but I couldn't even look through all of them, it'd take too long.
  7. I don't see how Xander's pictures could have been too big, because when I clicked on them they did not enlarge much at all. Bernie posts pictures but they are hosted on another server, not actually uploaded. If you hover your mouse over this photo below and right click you can open it in a new tab, or copy it's link and paste it somewhere else. So that is another way to do it. Upload them all somewhere else, and copy the links and put those links in your post here.
  8. There's an article on it in the recent Hagerty magazine, which I'd think most of you get. It says Ken Miles headed to the winner's circle, and they blocked him, told him he was 2nd.
  9. I never heard of Ken Miles until I bought this magazine where he test drives an Alfa Romeo 1967, and other makes.

  11. I've never been to Florida. I get the impression it is like Orange County California. Spread out, lots of 4-lane boulevards, malls, strip malls. I lived in Anaheim Hills for a few years.

  14. I feel like I'm under siege where I live. Traffic is horrendous, way too many cars speeding on rural roads, cost of living too high, restaurants that I liked have closed, and replaced with very expensive ones that cater to the wealthy. https://www.williswinebar.com/menu Dinner - Seasonal & Evolutive Carte Entrées Minestrone Italian tradition with basilicas & parmesan €9 Prawns on a skewer with citrus fruit and green salsa €12 Bruschetta with grilled vegatables, herb vinaigrette & condiments €11.50 Home-made smoked haddock tartar, avocado guacamole €12 Quail breast escabeche, rocket salad 11€50 Open ravioli with wild mushrooms & candied leeks €13 Plats Marmite of fish fillets in Bouillabaisse €21 Fregola sarda risotto with chanterelles & shiitake €18 Grilled duck breast with candied apples & grapes €19.50 Pièce charolaise 'label rouge', cresson froissé, puree tradition €20 Farm guinea fowl of Challans with wild mushrooms €19 Roasted Bourbonnais lamb with sweet spices & winter fruits €22.50 Desserts Pippin like an apple baked in salted butter €8 My little moka emotion, warm ganache, langue de chat €7.50 Dark chocolate terrine – a Willi’s original €10 Veloni, an Italian coffee dessert €8 Crunchy praline, almonds, caramelised hazelnuts €8 Seasonal fruit and lemon tart €9
  15. You can Google Medford Oregon weather averages, or any other place for that matter and get a nice graph of the temps and precipitation, etc.
  16. I spent a week in Klamath Falls in the middle of winter, in a motel, while doing surveying work. Nice place to visit, but don't think I'd want to live there. I felt out of place. It was cold but dry, there were people with snow tires even though no snow. Went to Rooster's steakhouse once, great steak, great value, and no sales tax!
  17. The Airflo is in Rancho Codova, Calif, which is near Sacramento, if anyone is interested. The other is supposedly in my hometown of Santa Rosa. Airflo has complete drivetrain and clear California title according to the seller.
