SWMBO and I have our own free dropbox accounts, but each have a folder we share with the other to exchange stuff easily. A lot of common useful apps have Dropbox support included by default now... Works a treat. You can easily share any file or whole folder with anyone you want. Very useful too for ...

Both windows 7 and XP are no longer supported and really are security risks. If you can, I'd go to 8.1 or 10.

That looks like an OA91 germanium diode and an OC71 transistor !

Nice work BTW (the speaker finishing, not the table condition...).

Yeh. The table is "distressed" and on the project list... along with about 30 other items

After the time and care I've spent on these speakers, they blooming well better sound good...

Indeed! What he said ^^^

Maybe, just maybe, I might make an Owston this year ...

Two coats done, one to go. Final assembly tomorrow...

Hard wax oil next...
