Not even on 'Casual Fridays' in the US military. OTOH, they did sell men's pantyhose with a fly at the PX at the US Army cold weather research center and at least at Fort Wainwright (which is near Fairbanks) if not at every cold weather base. They were available in either cotton or nylon. They were very heavy material, and made to wear under your thermal underwear to prevent its seams from wearing through your skin. They were also sold to mailmen to wear with their uniform shorts. This was in the early '70s and they were expensive. It doesn't take long to decide between wearing them or getting frostbite when it is below -40 most of the winter. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

Well, it seems very, very close. > http://www.turntablebasics.com/belts/penney.html This one seemed to have a somewhat broken system, as the page said that the belt was in stock. Yet when I tried to order one, I was told that the belt was out of stock. Okay, whatever. Maybe that site needs a little nap? :-) > http://www.vintage-electronics.cc/ (snipped) This one seemed to work OK, and was a few dollars cheaper. I usually deal with Studio Sound Electronics, as they were mentioned in the FAQ as a source for these kinds of parts, and I've been happy with everything I ever got from them. As long as I met the minimum order (so as not to get charged a few bucks extra), everything was fine. (They don't carry a 24.5mm belt.) It looks like I'm going to have to replace the tape deck belts. Everything was OK until I tested the recording mode and then the cassette belt fell off. It's totally flabby and spent. This doesn't look like fun to me. I was surprised by the uniform dust carpet (!!) inside the unit, given that there are only vents on the back. I was also surprised to see a hybrid audio power amplifier module (STK4151 II) as opposed to a discrete power amplification setup. William

From: William R. Walsh on 9 Jun 2010 11:53 Hi! > Or 24.5 cm ? Seems that it's 24.5 *cm*. I wasn't paying any attention to the unit of measurement and probably just corrected it in my mind without thinking about it. William
