Included in this auction are about a dozen different paper music rolls all the way from European Favorites music to Patriotic March music to Old Time Era Gone By music. Each roll has about 10 to 12 songs on it. Also, included is a Honda portable whisper quiet 2000 generator with EU Inverter. This generator will run the band organ's electric motor for hours. I've even had it running for over 8 hours at a time and only went through about two gallons of gasoline! I have thought long and hard about what to do with my dear old "Spirit of Long Beach" band organ and pickup truck. I am now willing to offer it for sale to the top bidder. Would you like an old mechanized music maker and antique pickup truck to be the American centerpiece of your antique automobile or mechanized music collection? Can you live without owning your own 1912 North Tonawanda band organ and being able to listen to the "happiest music on earth" whenever you desire? Contact me if you want more information.
I found this old band organ in terrible shape about 12 years ago at the Red Barron Antique Auction in Roswell, Georgia and despite it only playing a few notes and being filled with hornets nests and the facade almost gone due to the rot of sitting outdoors in a Georgia field for several years, I purchased it for $500. The auctioneer banged the gavel on the podium and laughingly said, "David, you'll buy anything!"
I got the old girl home and wondered what on earth I had purchased. I luckily met a great old retired engineer later that year who loved mechanized music and worked on these band organs as well as old player pianos and such. I sent the band organ to Kim Pontius of Hartford City, Indiana, to restore. It took two years, but wowsa, did Kim ever do a marvelous job! In fact, reknown in the band organ business, Kim said that he had been rebuilding band organs for as long as he could remember and this one particular organ has some of the "sweetest and most perfect sound". He even offered to buy it from me if I didn't have the large amount of money required to pay him for his rebuilding services.
My old band organ now looks and sounds like it did new and even plays better for it was a barrel organ then but now can play the ornate music from paper Wurlitzer rolls. It was converted in the mid-1920's by Wurlitzer Company to play their paper rolls instead of the big brass pin rolls. I put it in parades and carnivals around the Midwest and it is always the star of the crowd! People stand around for hours watching, listening and even dancing to it!
Nicknamed by the locals, The Pride of Long Beach, the truck and band organ have started every Long Beach, Indiana Independence Day parade for the past 8 years to the joy and enthusiasm of the whole community. There's nothing like listening to an old fashioned Sousa march on a period instrument which was around playing his marches while the famous bandmaster was alive conducting them!
Best,
David J. Valkema

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat
Fri, 11 Jul 2014So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.
Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
