  4. Spanish Train - Chris de Burgh From his second album in 1975 "Spanish Train" There's a Spanish train that runs between Guadalquivir and old Saville, And at dead of night the whistle blows, and people hear she's running still... And then they hush their children back to sleep, Lock the doors, upstairs they creep, For it is said that the souls of the dead Fill that train ten thousand deep!! Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side, His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died, But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead, Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye, "Well God's not around and look what I've found, this one's mine!!" Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light, And shouted at the Devil, "Get thee hence to endless night!!" But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned, But there's no need to push me around, I got him first so you can do your worst, He's going underground!!" "But I think I'll give you one more chance" said the Devil with a smile, "So throw away that stupid lance, It's really not your style", "Joker is the name, Poker is the game, we'll play right here on this bed, And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet, the souls of the dead!!" And I said "Look out, Lord, He's going to win, The sun is down and the night is riding in, That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, Oh Lord, He's going to win!.." Well the railwayman he cut the cards And he dealt them each a hand of five, And for the Lord he was praying hard Or that train he'd have to drive... Well the Devil he had three aces and a king, And the Lord, he was running for a straight, He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades, All he needed was the eight... And then the Lord he called for one more card, But he drew the diamond eight, And the Devil said to the son of God, "I believe you've got it straight, So deal me one for the time has come To see who'll be the king of this place, But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak, He slipped another ace... Ten thousand souls was the opening bid, And it soon went up to fifty-nine, But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did, And he said "that suits me fine", "I'll raise you high to a hundred and five, And forever put an end to your sins", But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins!!" And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win, The sun is down and the night is riding in, That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, Oh Lord, don't let him win..." Well that Spanish train still runs between, Guadalquivir and old Saville, And at dead of night the whistle blows, And people fear she's running still... And far away in some recess The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess, The Devil still cheats and wins more souls, And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best... And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win, The sun is down and the night is riding in, That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line, Oh Lord, you've got to win..."

  9. You're going to make a lot of people jealous! Make sure to read through some of the board FAQ's located here , as if you don't get to 200 posts in a year some of your access will be restricted. Nice setup! John
  10. According to the forum help located here Registrants that are revealed as SPAM posters will not advance any further; those that show interest in becoming part of our community will advance from Inbound to Novice within a few posts. It doesn't, however state how many. I would guess either 10 or when Rich approves you. John
  11. When searching on the net, I did see a couple ads for a vinyl version as well. John
  12. My favorite song from that album was "Circle", although "Air of December" is a lovely, almost haunting tune. John

  14. I'm a bit late to the party, but if you have a local trade it in type bookstore, many of them have cheap DVD and Blu-Ray discs as well. I can pick up less popular blu ray discs for under $10, and just about any DVD for $8 or under. Got the first 3 seasons of ER a bit ago for under $15 per set. They had an anniversary complete Star Trek:TNG collection just before Christmas for $100, almost got it. Hope it's still there when I get paid Friday. John
  15. Parts express? John
  16. http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=440960 If you register, it looks like he has a couple pics of at least the specs, and says he has the repair manual. Not much else comes up on my google-fu. John
  17. http://test.sonyservicemanual.com/search.aspx?brandname=PHASE+LINEAR - Sony service manuals, P530 is near the bottom. It's 20 bucks or so, but it's about the only thing I saw for the manuals, this site has a re-edging kit for them: http://www.speakerrepair.com/page/product/standard-re-edge-kits/11-012-W-12K.html John
