After the April event, it occurred to me there are only two people who really know how to operate our Sperry searchlight. Now that all the mechanicals and...
John, Did you guys ever pin down the other (indoor) end of the modern phone wire that goes out through the muffler gallery? If memory serves me right it ended...
I don't believe it ends where you think it does! I think it's cut off in the floor of the generator room. However, we're not done with our floor pit...
John, You are in there way more than I am. There were so many cables when we were in there I can't remember where they all went! You guys also removed most of...

John, That bore hole goes in the wrong direction. we're headed for the south end. However, if the system is intact, then we might be able to patch in there. ...
