Beautiful house! I only F. Lounge it. No Facebook. No instagram. No Twitter. No snapchat. I do most of my conversing at work.
You are way too kind; thank you.Can't believe I missed it until Touchofevil's post - but yes, that is a gorgeous house. And TOE, you bring so much to FL that I'm really glad that, if you only frequent one forum, you chose FL.
I belong to p15-d24.com, a forum for owners of pre-1950s Chrysler products, and will post there occasionally, and often read Nitrateville.com, a forum for enthusiasts of pre-fifties movies. I also read Film-Tech.com, a forum for movie theatre technicians. But in general, my internet presence is confined exclusively to the Lounge.
Thank you, Lizzie. I've signed up at Nitrateville.
Wow, that is a narrow subject matter to support a regular forum - are there a lot of new posts daily? I ask because we have a broad as heck theme here at FL, but many broad and popular threads - "What Movie did you most recently watch," for example - don't get a lot of traffic on any given day. That said, what do I know, maybe the collector - fan base for monitor tops (which I think are awesome) is huge.
There's no where near the traffic on this site, but there's about 10 really dedicated folks. There's a lot to restoring these things. People who love them, LOVE them. Most of the core posters have several. They are dirt cheap unrestored, considering they are built like tanks.
Monitor tops are also quite addictive. We have a monitor top and a flat top, the monitor we have is a CK. When we have more time, I'd like to buy and restore an example of every monitor style model and display them though our home. My husband is really keen on this, and it's one collection I've encouraged.
I always wanted one as a kid. I can remember flipping through my parents' Old House Journal and seeing them in people's kitchens. I figured they were out of reach. Then one day the husband said, "you know, we could get an old fridge for the kitchen at the new house, like a monitor top." I was like, "really?? Could we please?" I told him then I had always wanted one.
That's a nice story - I'm so glad you have one.

yeah, I want to do that too but I can't add another forum - I have to earn a living and these things suck me in. That one looks really good though. I'm torn, but so far, I'm staying away. Enjoy - I bet you'll really like it.
