GlenH 4 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I was watching The New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abram on my local PBS station and spotted a familiar face. Sitting on a shelf near the barn door is a Carver MXR series receiver. It's visible in the upper right corner of this photo from the New Yankee website. I don't know whether it's hooked up, or merely a prop; it's not used at all in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggans2 0 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 As it is a set I would think he would have said woh I'll take that, to the tv people thats is. However maybe he use's it when he builds stuff. What I am saying is as someone who works in TV my thinking is TV sets and real wood shops dont mix well but then again... I don't know..

Balok 1,300 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 A few years ago, I recorded an episode of The New Yankee Worshop and I noted the Carver receiver on the shelf. I imagine he uses it when staining etc as one cannot have distractions when using power tools. I am sure Norm uses superior dust collection equipment and therefore the receiver is perfectly safe.

Blues Pwr 761 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Have you ever seen any Carver gear in a movie or TV show or a commercial ? And or really high end gear ? 1) Last Sun. while helping Bluesman57 install the Blue LED's in his TFM-15CB, the movie "Small Soldiers" was on and he pointed out a scene where Phil Hartman was adjusting his new big screen TV they showed his equipment in the entertainment center above the TV and he had a Carver A-220 amp and a A-753 it was kinda dark but you could clearly see the two power meters on the A-220 & the three meters on the A-753. 2) A while back someone posted a picture of the " New Yankee Workshop " with a MXR reciever in the book case in the background. 3) Bluesman also said that in " Ferris Buellers Day Off " he has Carver equipment in his bedroom haven't checked that out yet. 4) The Lee Marvin movie "Point Blank" has a scene in it at a Hollywood old style mansion that has a really high end system with a reel to reel and a mixing board built into the counter. Has anyone else noticed any Carver gear or other High End equipment in a movie or TV show or a commercial ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNRabbit 366 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I could have sworn there was already a thread on this. In Jurassic Park II, there are some TFM series amps in the trailer scene when the T-Rex's are trying to get their baby out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Pwr 761 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I thought there was a thread for this also, I searched for a while but the site was so slow I decided to start another one if any one can find it maybe they can combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Pwr 761 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 High end equipment in the movie" The Generals Daughter " w/ John Travolta, and James Woods; When Travolta goes to Woods home to arrest him he has a componet system and puts on a album on a really high end turntable and the speakers look to be Klipsch Cornwalls, system sounds good and very loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT-Seven 762 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 and to think that for years I thought that was a FISHER amp in the Ferris Bueler movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumbini 6,091 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ferris Bueller had some Carver gear in his bedroom: (top to bottom) M-500t, Audio Source EQ-ONE, DTL-100, Receiver 2000 The album next to the TV is Brian Ferry's Boys and Girls E-MU Emulator II keyboard/synthesizer on the table beside him Sweet hollow body, single-cutaway, white pearl guitar with gold hardware (Gretsch White Falcon maybe?). (That appears to be a Bose 901 speaker to the right of his guitar and an IBM PC on his desk.) Fender Bassman guitar amp on the far right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene C 1,738 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Was just watching the movie "Faster" It was the scene where The Rock was going to pay Bernie Mac a visit. Anyway this guy is tuning the broadcast signal with a Phase Linear 4000 Series Two it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weitrhino 1,164 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Y'know, I caught that a couple weeks ago but had no idea how to post a captured frame so I didn't post at all fearing cries of, 'Yeah! Sure kid!" Good on ya, Gene, for getting it done. Not sure that was Bernie Mac though considering he died in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, meant Adewale Agbaje. Think Transformers was the last movie i saw him in. He was an awesome actor. RIP Bernie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhaan92 9 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The stereo in the movie Uncle Buck has Carver gear in it. Looks like the bottom three pieces for certain. Possibly a 1.0t or 4.0t, as it has a power switch. The middle unit is a Carver CD player, DTL-100 most likely, and the bottom unit appears to be a Carver receiver. Anybody got this movie on Blu-ray?

Hibernator69 46 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Is that a TFM-75 on the floor in front of the 6ft woofer in Back to the Future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
