    I used a rotary one up until the late 90’s.

    Well me neither, but I do remember party lines. EVERYBODY knew everything that was going on in the community!

    Yep. If you needed to use the phone, you had to pick up the handset every so often waiting for the neighbors to finally hang up so you could call someone. I reminisce about "the good ole days" but the party-line stuff is not the good part.

    These are for the 787. Amazing enough, the single unit I hauled down to Calexico was bigger, but it was for a 767.

    It's so hard to find decent drivers, I don't think you'll have much trouble finding something if you want to give it shot.

    Now my DirectTV stopped finding a satellite signal. I have reset and did an entire system restore and it still can't find a signal. When it rains it pours.

    Check your cable and power input on the back of your box, a 777 error is typically weather related, but a simple loose connection on the back can also be the culprit.

    Went thru that multiple times, weather here in NM is clear... it's DirectTV with an Epicview auto satellite search system (stationary not while in motion). I had to fight it last night but finally got it to work. This morning when I went to turn it on, it went thru the search for a satellite bs again, and couldn't find any. This is the 2nd system I have had here and both have been unpredictable, this one is especially problematic...if it keeps up I'll just take it out and give it back to the shop in Arlington and just watch DVD/Bluerays for my remaining time here.
