These were in my favorite store in the used audio market. One half of the floorspace was devoted to projectors, ranging from 8mm to big theatrical arc-lamp jobs; the other half to classic hi-fi, like this pair of RCA MI-12182As.
"This is something to blog about," I said from the floor.
The enormous and unwieldy Pioneer S-1EX loudspeaker was being polite about it. It may have been cutting into the flesh below my knee and pointing its shiny spikes in my face, but at least it wasn't groping me.
JA had called from his home in Brooklyn. "Stephen, I'll need you to come over. The speakers have rounded sides, so I can't even lift them out of their crates. If you help me get them into the house and up the stairs, I'll be able to measure them."

This is David Zheng of ETKG Co. Ltd. He manufactures the metal-work for most high-end Chinese brands, as well as many US, and European companies.
Thirteen years ago, he took out a loan to buy a CNC machine; now he has 120.
Oh yeah, EKTG also makes magnetic suspension platforms, flat-panel mounts, and just about anything else you can make out of metal.
ETKG is located in what used to be a farming village near GuangZhou. Now it's considered to be in GuangZhou, although, as you can see, the streets retain their rural feel.
This is one of ETKG's shops. David Zhou has grown so large over the last 13 years that he has rented just about every available space in his area. Some garages have a single CNC station in them.
ETKG goes through 115 tons of aluminum per year.
