We had one just like that in the '60's when I lived in South Florida. Can't get no evergreens down there. I remember that color wheel fondly red, green, blue, orange, and yellow I think were the colors.

Good job JB!

Did you use the Heavy Duty Foil. Might get an extra season or two out of it that way! :LOL:

I love it when you almost choke on your first word!! I think someone had a few too many pops upon filming that clip. Just a guess though! :?:

What channels do you get with that tree? I'm guessing close to basic cable! :LOL:
