I came across this first many years ago and happened to find it again today. Enjoy!

(That price isn't even unreasonable to today's government...)

    I am very familiar with the turbo encabulator.
    I have worked on many different versions over the years.
    I am currently working on one made of prefabricated amulite. The dingle arm is giving me trouble.

    That was funny.

    I worked in a Bowling Alley (for a long time), and I eventually migrated to learning how to do light repairs on the equipment (mostly cleaning, belt adjustments).

    One evening a machine broke down, and the "Manager" (whose qualification was being the Owners Clueless Son), kept asking "What's Wrong, and How long".

    The Mechanic told me to tell him. 2hrs. And if he asks what's wrong, tell him the Johnson Rod Broke. (there is no Johnson Rod).

    So, I tell him how long, then he asks. I tell him the Johnson Rod Broke. He smiles, walks away, and proceeds to tell the Bowlers that Johnson Rod Broke, and they CRACK UP laughing at him. He was PISSED... At ME! LOL.

    Later that night, he chewed me out in front of the last 5 people in the building (when I came up to punch out for the night). And he made the mistake of claiming his Manager position...

    I told him "You are qualified to manage Any Bowling Alley! (Pause, until he exhaled and smiled)... That your father happens to own!"
    Every employee was like "Damn!" I just walked away, because it was a fact! LOL

    FWIW, I should have been fired about 20 times.

    This REMINDED me of that memory!

    Thank you!

    Does it work better cross-connected with a flux capacitor, or would that cause inadvertent feedback to the dilithium crystal array?
    This isn't covered in the shop manual.
