Hi Deocon,

I took the liberty of posting your pics.

I like the Nostalgic environment. 5 Way speaker system, wow!!!

You have the full spectrum covered!

Congratulations!

Thanks Zetroce, that is very kind of you.

The speakers are old. I got it from Clark before Pinatubo!

The beer barrel was modified to fit 2 10" subwoofers, the amplifier for the subs is a Pioneer D3S.

If you can browse some of the pictures in my Flicker site, you can see some of my car collection.

The hanging phone in the bar is also very old!

asteeeg! ang old school! nasan nga pala yung projector screen?

deocon · « **Reply #7 on:** Sep 17, 2007 at 12:21 PM »

The projector screen is kept inside a built-in crypt in the ceiling. Hidden until needed to keep the nostalgic look. You just have to pull down the hook of the screen to bring it down. The screen is 96 inches/8 feet.

The door with caps leads to the rear beneath the staircase where I can access the cables.

This is a 7.1 system.

This is a dual system. The audio is piped-in to the living room via A-B speaker. The CD,CD recorder, Sansui Equalizer/mike mixer, cassette, phono and tuner is handled by a Pioneer VSX 9700s.

The Video/home theater is handled a Pioneer VSX 815K and this handles a Sony Betamax 860D(still working), VHS, Pioneer DVD and Nextbase DVD. The Sub woofer is powered by a Pioneer D3S.

The switching of the amplifier source for the front Kenwood speakers is done by a double throw switch.

Wooow!... this is something to adore.... maybe an antique TTable and stack of vinyls will complete the nostalgic ambience...

galing ng fusion of old house and hitech gears! I like the electric fan, gumagana pa ba yun??

danrd · « **Reply #10 on:** Sep 17, 2007 at 02:08 PM »

Very nice Sir Deacon. "HT in Classic Mood" I like it a lot!

deocon · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 17, 2007 at 03:13 PM »

Yes po. The fan is running pero 110V. Yan nga ang gamit namin pag d pinaandar ang air con.

Yung capiz windows ay aesthetics lang pero may backlight yon. Gamit ko ay rope lights.

Mayroon na din akong turn table, Sansui Linear tracking, sa audio side ng system nakakabit.

Wala sa pics yung mga "Tickets ni Elvis Presley" sa dapat na last concert nya. D natuloy yon kasi nabaril na sya.

Mga records ko ng Beatles yung mga 60's pa, sayang nasira na ang album.

Yung Gumball and stand are authentic antiques.

Thanks nga pala to all for atleast admiring what I have done. Hehe, the wife does not like the cost!

Who's wife does.

Our spouses and our HT's are like science and religion.

deocon · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 17, 2007 at 07:29 PM »

Sa Bocaue Bulacan po, malayo na sa kabihasnan.

Bayan ng paputok, chicharon at Pagoda Festival.

Ok lang. Pwede pasyal dito. It will always be my pleasure. Pero magluluma lang ako ha. Baka pagtawanan nyo!

frootloops · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 17, 2007 at 08:03 PM »

Nice one deocon! This was the concept I had in mind when I started to build my HT, my Dad also has a lot of collectibles, but not enough space for me to put all those things.

Baka pwede naman mahiram yung betamax mo, tagal ko na kasi hindi napapanuod beta tape ko na Sabik.

My Mom is also from Bocaue, sa Antipona. So yes, I am very familiar with the paputok,chicharon na may laman at taba

, at Pagoda (but not as festive as before huh.)

Congrats and more gears and collectibles to come.

Cheers! c",)

Frootloops,

Sino ang Mommy mo? Baka kakilala ko, sa Biniang 2nd lang ako, malapit sa ilog, bago umakyat sa tulay.

The last two years masaya na ang Pista dito. Umuwi ka sa November 11, magiging masaya ang Pista ni San Martin.

Mula kasi noong 1993, nang may namatay na 265, medyo pinagluksa muna. Noong 2003, pinagtayo na ng marker sa loob ng simbahan to commemorate the 10th year death anniversary.

frootloops · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 17, 2007 at 09:58 PM »

Actually its my Mom's foster parents who hails from Bocaue, so we basically grew up knowing that it is our province. They live in-front of the Church, the Esguerra's. My lolo used to be the Kapitan years ago (Ka Kiko).

Haven't been there for years now, well after 1993 tragedy. Its good to hear that you are back in your festive mood again. I used to ride in that Pagoda in my younger years, pero pwede pa rin ako sumakay...young at heart and mind pa rin naman ako til now eh,

Betamax ko ha......

deocon · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 17, 2007 at 10:15 PM »

Yeah, I know Mang Kiko. He died a long time ago.

I know the Junior, si teacher Kiko, owner na ng St. Francis School.

Ok.

Inayos ko lang ulit sir. Sayang naman, hindi nila makita yung pics.

'di ko nga nakita 'to in earlier post....

thanks zetroce...

deocon · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 18, 2007 at 12:29 AM »

zetroce,

Maraming salamat uli. Pasensya ka na sa akin. Di talaga ako marunong mag-post.

Pag nagawi ka dito sa Bocaue, pababaunan kita ng Lechon Bocaue(da best to) at 2 supot ng chicharon. Promise!

Bigyan din kita ng ibang antiques.

Thanks muli Sir!

No need to repay me sir, i also experienced the same thing when i was new. So i feel that it's my turn to return the favor to those who are having difficulty posting in this forum.

Pero kung mapilit kayo, hindi ko rin naman tatanggihan ang pabaon pag punta ko sa inyo...

Joke lang sir!!

Natuwa kasi ako sa Nostalgic environment sa inyo, halos pareho kasi sa aking kuweba.

Feel free to view my setup as well.

Zetroce,

I need your assistance again.

Posted is the room of my son with an F-14 and F-15.

The very First Pro Pioneer Component, still functional.

A "Ten Commandments" poster with a "King Solomon Sword"

A circa 70 portable TV.

A G scale train suspended under my garage roof, dapat sa HT ko nilagay kaso istorbo na sa projector.

The built speakers on my living room's ceiling.

And a back-lighted glass cube set as you enter my home.

nabigla ako dito, was he shot? i don't think so. di ba, he sort of choked to death eating burgers. my memory is failing me...

i really would love to see the hanging train set. i have an n-gauge set still in box because i can't find a way to hang it. gusto ko sana parang suspended sa ceiling.

deocon · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 18, 2007 at 07:08 PM »

Voj,

Oo nga pala, na-cross ko si John Lennon at si Elvis. Halos magkasunod silang namatay. Sorry for the miss information.

Yong G scale medyo madaling isabit kasi malaki at mas matibay.

I suggest na bumili ka ng 1/4 plywood and mount the rails into it. Tapos jig saw mo na may 1 icch claerance from the rail para maging rigid. U can used either a wood or 1/4 inch round bar to suspend it in the ceiling. Lagyan mo lang ng guide sa outer rail para kung ma-derail, hindi masira. Mahal kasi. Mas malaki ang collection ko ng HO scale, kasama na pati houses, rails, human and animal figures, kaso mahirap siyang maintain kaya nakakahon na lang.

Hope this helps.

Very entertaining talaga itong bahay na ito ah....makaluwas nga sa Bocaue.

Nakakatuwa naman bahay mo! Dami surprise. Bilib ako lalo sa asawa mo. Hirap yata linisin ang mga gamit mo, lalo na ang tren. No way makumbinsi misis ko magsabit ng mga ganyan sa bahay ko

deocon · « **Reply #29 on:** Sep 18, 2007 at 10:17 PM »

Yung asawa ko nga ang kalaro ko, hehehe.

Deprived kasi ang chidhood ko, kaya ngayon lang ako naglalaro. Kasi dati noong late 60's pag punta ko sa Avenida sa Good Earth, nakikita ko yung display nila ng HO train set-up. Inggit na inggit ako. Mahirap lang kami kaya walang magawa kundi maglupasay. Hehehe. Kaya ngayon ako naglalaro.

Madali namang linisin ang train, may hagdan naman. Tsaka tinatago ko din.

Yun nga Seeburg 201 1958(Jukebox) ko, nahingi lang sa akin, sayang umaandar pa naman, kaya lang wala na pwesto at naka simangot na misis ko. Hehehe.

Mabait kasi si misis ko, kaya good boy naman ako.
