New apartment setup

[wesm1957]

Just moved into a new apartment last weekend and this is my temp setup. I am going to do something with the radios. I used a pole lamp I had for an antenna mount.

No curtains, but the scanners are all hooked up.

A bachelor! (I can relate)

Yea no curtains yet, the old ones I had didn't fit that window. I have to get some soon or the complex will have a fit!!!! Plus you know what the priorities are HAHA

Are those fire extinguishers functional or just for decoration? ;-)

They are functional. They are going to become table lamps but I am not going to make it so they are no longer functional. I got them about 8 years ago for 5 bucks each. The Masonic Temple my dad belongs to in NE Ohio had them and replaced them with "up to code" extingushers. I am going to remove the stckers and glue so only the original name plate is on them. I also have a JetSonic lightbar that I think is going to become part of a coffee table. That should make a good heavy base for a table. And yes it will still work! I have 2 other lamps that are unique also, they are made out of old radar tubes. I will take some pictures of them and post them also.

I hate to say it, but you MUST be single!

You've got that right!!!! I do have to say my ex left the radar tube lamps when she moved out. They will have new lamp shades soon. I did have a house full of radios when I was married. And you should see my other hobbies!!! Radio control cars, planes and helicopters!

I love that antenna! Personally I think the antenna and the lamps are the coolest!

 

[NeFire242]

Wow. Nice stuff. I like the lamp idea pretty cool. Nice fire extinguishers too! YAY Can't wait until you post pix of the lightbar coffee table I'd like to see that completed.

The lightbar table could make for a pretty wild party.... Make it functional.... Can you say disco? LOL

I loved the Tech Noir nightclub in The Terminator. Red and blue lightbars mounted on the walls.

Do it man! I want pics of the lightbar table!

How well do your antenna's work from the inside? What are you monitoring off of those antenna's? Nice little set up.
