    Okay, now the company has earned some legitimacy. You and I have never interacted but everyone knows you're the Chelsea guy! And yes, you've gotten me to Google Chelsea clocks in the past. (Still trying to decide between a Hamilton 21, 22 and a Chelsea.)

    Congrats, well deserved.

    Edit: is that a Pioneer turntable?

    Good read ! And love that picture of your office ;-)

    Chelsea clock is a nice discovery for me and I find those attractive even though a little bit more intrusive on the house that watches ;-)

    But I’m with you ; I can see myself with one now ::facepalm2::.

    So congrats for the article, your collection and thanks for sharing passion !

    I inherited my dad's that he bought in Vietnam at the PX. Just gave it to my daughter. Sansui amp/receiver.

    Hope to get a Chelsea some day. Just need to invest the time to read all your information and learn. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey how does your PL-L1000 work ?

    I think they are interesting but complicated turntables.

    Sorry to have misled you, mine's a plain old belt drive Pioneer (unfortunately, or fortunately.) Similar box and cover but that's it. Finger lever, on, lower, sit back.

    Congrats! Your office looks amazing! I also love the Enterprise model.

    Dang, now I really need to plan my schedule around the things with springs chats at some point to learn more.

    Very cool, especially the America’s Cup New York Yacht Sqaudron commemorative clock, I’ve got a tie and a few other piece from that club as a sailing enthusiast, they have an amazing history
