1
00:00:00,935 --> 00:00:02,934
Jersey jon: Oh, yeah!
Ooh, they got tanks?
2
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:04,469
Yes, they do!
I love the world war I stuff.
3
00:00:04,538 --> 00:00:05,870
Robbie: Look at this.
4
00:00:05,939 --> 00:00:06,738
Jersey jon: They're not
messing around.
5
00:00:06,807 --> 00:00:10,142
Robbie: It's large,
and in charge.
6
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:12,744
Look at this, jersey.
This is nuts!
Look at this. Ahh...
7
00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:14,479
Jim: This is kind of
the man cave.
8
00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:15,481
Robbie: You got a cigar?
9
00:00:15,683 --> 00:00:17,082
Mike: I'm freaking out!
10
00:00:17,151 --> 00:00:19,684
Danielle: Jack white called.
He wants us to stop by.
11
00:00:19,754 --> 00:00:20,886
Mike: Good to see
you again, man.
12
00:00:20,955 --> 00:00:22,955
Jack: What's up?
Now we're going to cut a song
13
00:00:23,157 --> 00:00:24,556
From my new album, it's called,
if I die tomorrow.
14
00:00:24,758 --> 00:00:25,691
Danielle: This is incredible.
15
00:00:25,759 --> 00:00:27,826
Mike: Oh my god,
you have no idea
16
00:00:27,894 --> 00:00:29,294
How much I've heard
about this place.
17
00:00:29,363 --> 00:00:30,896
Jack: The real reason
I called you here,
I want to show you now.
18
00:00:30,965 --> 00:00:33,999
Mike: Oh wow!
Danielle: Are you kidding me?!
19
00:00:38,506 --> 00:00:40,005
(upbeat music)
20
00:00:43,978 --> 00:00:45,910
Danielle: Dude! I got a call
from bill.
21
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:48,847
Bill works for jack white
over at third man,
22
00:00:48,916 --> 00:00:49,848
And they want us--
mike: Oh wow, what?!
23
00:00:49,916 --> 00:00:50,982
Danielle: They want us
to just stop by.
24
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:53,118
They're like,
jack wants to talk to you guys.
25
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,587
Mike: I haven't seen him since
we sold him the elephant's head.
26
00:00:55,656 --> 00:00:57,189
Mike: Look at that thing, man!
27
00:00:57,257 --> 00:01:00,258
Jack: That is the weirdest
looking giraffe I've ever seen.
28
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:01,259
(laughing)
29
00:01:01,328 --> 00:01:03,528
Mike: Ten years ago,
we were fortunate enough
30
00:01:03,597 --> 00:01:08,800
To work with jack white.
This guy is one of the greatest
guitarists in the world.
31
00:01:08,869 --> 00:01:11,003
He is a rock legend
and an old soul,
32
00:01:11,205 --> 00:01:13,672
Which shows in his music,
the things that he collects,
33
00:01:13,874 --> 00:01:15,541
And the way that he lives
his life.
34
00:01:15,743 --> 00:01:18,410
Danielle: All I know is they're
at third man, the record
pressing plant down there.
35
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:21,346
Why don't we just pop in--
mike: They're at the record
pressing plant?
36
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:22,547
Danielle: Yeah.
Mike: Oh dude, I've always
wanted to see that.
37
00:01:22,616 --> 00:01:24,083
I've heard a lot about it.
38
00:01:24,285 --> 00:01:25,750
Danielle: I talked to bill,
I told him we're on our way.
39
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:28,353
Mike: Absolutely!
Are you kidding me?
40
00:01:28,422 --> 00:01:29,988
(upbeat music)
41
00:01:30,691 --> 00:01:32,991
(street car bell ringing)
42
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:36,095
Mike: So we got to be
getting close, right?
43
00:01:36,297 --> 00:01:38,430
Danielle: I'm actually just
going to call bill real quick.
44
00:01:38,498 --> 00:01:39,631
(phone ringing)
45
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,900
Danielle: Bill.
Bill: Hey.

00:01:41,968 --> 00:01:43,835
Danielle: It's danielle,

47
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:45,103
Bill: Good.
How are you guys doing?
48
00:01:45,172 --> 00:01:48,006
Mike: We're driving by third man
right now, I can see it.
49
00:01:51,912 --> 00:01:53,011
Mike: Okay.
Danielle: Right here.
50
00:01:57,984 --> 00:01:59,718
Danielle: Okay,
we'll see you in a second.
51
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,587
Mike: Here we go.
Danielle: Poi-fect.
52
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:01,987
Mike: Alright, this is awesome.
53
00:02:04,525 --> 00:02:05,791
Hey-hey, this is cool.

00:02:05,859 --> 00:02:06,792

00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,199
Danielle: Hey, bill!
58
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:15,934
Bill: Hey, guys.
Mike: Hey-hey!
59
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:17,803
Danielle: Bill!
Ah, it's nice to meet you!
60
00:02:17,871 --> 00:02:20,672
Bill: Welcome to detroit.
Mike: Hey.
61
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:21,739
Danielle: Finally,

62
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,008
Bill: Come on in.
Mike: Good to meet you, man.
63
00:02:23,077 --> 00:02:25,210
Bill: Nice to meet ya.
Mike: Oh, this is it, right?
64
00:02:25,279 --> 00:02:26,811
Bill: Welcome to the plant.
Mike: Oh my god,
you have no idea
65
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,947
How much I've heard
about this place.
66
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:31,884
This is the talk of the town
in nashville. Wow...
67
00:02:32,086 --> 00:02:33,752
Bill: Yeah, this is where
the records get made.
68
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:34,819
Danielle: Look at everybody
out there.
69
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:35,954
Mike: I mean, it looks
state-of-the-art.
70
00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:37,822
Bill: Yeah, it is.
Danielle: This is incredible.
71
00:02:37,892 --> 00:02:40,292
Mike: I've been
to united in nashville.
72
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:42,494
You know, it was cool to see,
but this is nasa
compared to that, man.
73
00:02:42,563 --> 00:02:43,962
Bill: Yeah, absolutely.
74
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:45,964
Mike: How long have you
guys been here now?
75
00:02:46,032 --> 00:02:46,765
Bill: Six years.
Danielle: Just this room alone
76
00:02:46,834 --> 00:02:49,100
Right here is beautiful.
These windows.
77
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:50,835
Bill: Yeah, these windows
came out of the packard factory.
78
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:51,769
Mike: Get outta here!
Danielle: Really?
79
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:53,038
Bill: No, yeah, yep.
Mike: No way!
80
00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:54,506
Bill: Salvaged them
and brought them over here.
81
00:02:54,575 --> 00:02:56,107
Danielle: Boy... Right?
82
00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:58,010
Mike: Where's boss-man at?
Bill: He's in the back. Come on.
83
00:02:59,647 --> 00:03:01,846
Bill: Jack.
Jack: Yeah.
84
00:03:01,916 --> 00:03:03,381
Bill: I got some people...
(jack laughs)
85
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:05,984
(upbeat music)
86
00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:12,191
Jersey jon:
What's the lead today, man?
87
00:03:12,393 --> 00:03:14,393
Robbie: We're going to go
see jim at the indiana
military museum.
88
00:03:14,461 --> 00:03:17,128
Jersey jon: Oh cool.
Robbie: So I don't know how much
he wants to sell,
89
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,798
But I heard he's got a back
room, that's... Packed full.
90
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,733
And he actually helped
start this museum.
91
00:03:21,802 --> 00:03:23,869
The guy's a judge, also,
in the town.
92
00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:24,870
So you need to be
on your best behavior.
93
00:03:25,072 --> 00:03:27,072
Jersey jon: Alright, man,
I'll behave myself.
94
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,874
Robbie: Alright. So it's
coming up, it's right here.
95
00:03:29,076 --> 00:03:29,874
Robbie: Look it, look it.
Jersey jon: Oh yeah!
96
00:03:29,944 --> 00:03:31,743
Robbie: That's what
I'm trying to tell ya.
97
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:33,011
Jersey jon: Dude,

98
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,345
This place is amaz--
look how big it is, robbie.
99
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:36,147
Robbie: Dude, dude.
Jersey jon: Look at
the submarine. Ooh!
100
00:03:36,217 --> 00:03:39,084
They got tanks, yes they do,
whole row of tanks there, man.
101
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:40,952
Robbie: Is that an f-18?
Jersey jon: Look at the huey.
102
00:03:41,021 --> 00:03:43,488
Robbie: Dani wasn't kidding.
This place is nuts!
103
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:44,956
Jersey jon: It is insane.
104
00:03:45,025 --> 00:03:46,758
Alright, let me get...
Robbie: Grab a flyer.
105
00:03:46,827 --> 00:03:47,993
Jersey jon: Yeah,

106
00:03:49,363 --> 00:03:49,995
Wow...
107
00:03:53,968 --> 00:03:55,166
Jersey jon: Hello...
Robbie: How're you doing?
108
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,836
Joe: Hi. Good morning, welcome
to indiana military museum.
109
00:03:58,038 --> 00:03:59,771
Jersey jon: This is
a world-class museum.
110
00:03:59,839 --> 00:04:02,841
Their acquisitions
are top-notch.
111
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:03,909
Joe: I'm joe.
Jersey jon: I'm john.
112
00:04:03,977 --> 00:04:05,510
Joe: I'll be giving your...
Tour guide,
113
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:06,912
If you want a tour today.
114
00:04:07,114 --> 00:04:08,980
Robbie: Oh well actually,
we're here to see jim.
115
00:04:09,049 --> 00:04:10,648
Joe: Okay. He's in the back
room back here,
116
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:12,650
I think that's where he's at.
117
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,919
We start with world war I here.
118
00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:16,788
It's got good sound effects
and everything.
119
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:18,857
Jersey jon: I love the
world war I stuff.
120
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:20,125
Joe: Do you?
Jersey jon: Yeah, oh yeah.
121
00:04:20,327 --> 00:04:21,926
I like early motorcycles
and this stuff ties
right into that.
122
00:04:21,996 --> 00:04:24,462
Robbie: So how long ago
did this museum start?
123
00:04:24,531 --> 00:04:26,598
Joe: About 39 years ago.
124
00:04:26,667 --> 00:04:27,933
Robbie: Look at this display.
125
00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:29,200
Jersey jon: It's like
a blown-out church.
126
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:31,737
Joe: The church, that church
I call saint-mère-eglise church,
127
00:04:31,939 --> 00:04:34,139
Like the longest day.
Robbie: Yeah?
128
00:04:34,341 --> 00:04:39,877
Joe: It was in a comic-con show
at rca dome in indianapolis.
129
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:43,148
This side of it was
the axis and allies.
130
00:04:43,217 --> 00:04:46,685
You can see the bullet holes
in this side of the building.
131
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:48,086
Jersey jon:
It's super impressive.
132
00:04:48,154 --> 00:04:50,689
Robbie: These guys' attention
to detail is phenomenal.
133
00:04:50,891 --> 00:04:53,825
Joe: This is a 109 paladin.
It runs.
134
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:55,626
We get a lot
of the tanks things out
135
00:04:55,696 --> 00:04:57,763
For battles and reenactments.
136
00:04:57,965 --> 00:04:58,697
Jersey jon: Cool.
Robbie: Oh, that's cool.
137
00:04:58,899 --> 00:04:59,965
Joe: They shoot blanks
and things.
138
00:05:00,033 --> 00:05:01,967
Robbie: That's awesome. Wow.
Jersey jon: Ha...
139
00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:03,702
Jersey jon: That's a workshop.
Joe: Hey, jim!
140
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:06,004

00:05:07,107 --> 00:05:09,374

00:05:09,443 --> 00:05:10,309
Jim: Alright.
143
00:05:10,511 --> 00:05:12,110
Robbie: You talked to
danielle on the phone?
144
00:05:12,179 --> 00:05:14,246
Jim: Hey, yes.
Robbie: I'm rob wolfe.

145
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:16,047
Jim: Rob, good to meet ya.

00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:17,382
Jim: Good to meet you. Yeah.
Jersey jon: Great place.
147
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:19,584
Jim: Thank you, thank you.
Joe: If you can handle
these two guys,
148
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:21,253
I'm going to go back to work.
149
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:23,054
Jim: Well, appreciate it.
There should be a crowd
here pretty soon.
150
00:05:23,123 --> 00:05:24,789
Joe: Nice meeting you guys.
Jersey jon: Thank you.
151
00:05:24,858 --> 00:05:26,324
Appreciate it,
thank you so much, joe.
152
00:05:26,393 --> 00:05:27,726
Joe: See ya.
153
00:05:27,795 --> 00:05:28,793
Jersey jon: This place
is amazing.
154
00:05:28,862 --> 00:05:30,929
I love the size and scale
of this place.
155
00:05:30,998 --> 00:05:31,863
Jim: Well, thank you,
thank you, appreciate it.
156
00:05:31,931 --> 00:05:33,865
We think this
is one of the ten best
157
00:05:33,933 --> 00:05:34,866
Comprehensive museums
in the country.
158
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:37,936
Jim: My name is jim osborne,
and I'm curator
159
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:39,738
At the indiana military museum
here in vincennes.
160
00:05:39,807 --> 00:05:41,807
It's a museum that began
back in 1984
161
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:45,076
As a not-for-profit
museum corporation.
162
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:48,146
Jim: The museum's sole purpose,
in a way, is to honor
163
00:05:48,214 --> 00:05:51,550
And recognize what the men
and women of armed services
164
00:05:51,752 --> 00:05:53,752
Have done for us in this country
165
00:05:53,821 --> 00:05:54,953
Since the beginning
of our history.
166
00:05:55,022 --> 00:05:58,890
It really began
with my own personal collection
167
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:00,692
And it had grown so large
that people kept saying,
168
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:01,626
Hey, why don't you
open up a museum
169
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:03,762
For people to see these things?
170
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:04,963
And that's how
it really started.
171
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:06,764
Jersey jon: We're looking
for this kind of stuff.
172
00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:07,899
Jim: Mm-hmm.
Jersey jon: Typically.
173
00:06:07,968 --> 00:06:09,634
Robbie: Military items. Yeah.
Jim: Oh sure.
174
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:11,102
(chuckles)
jim: We got those.
175
00:06:11,171 --> 00:06:12,904
And then we've got a lot
of old signage and things and...
176
00:06:12,973 --> 00:06:15,841
Some things are mine
that are here stored,
177
00:06:16,043 --> 00:06:18,844
Like I've got some old signs
in the back here
178
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:20,579
That were just too big
for my garage
179
00:06:20,647 --> 00:06:21,712
And I stuck them in here.
180
00:06:21,782 --> 00:06:23,849
You know, there are things
that I'm attached to still,
181
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:24,716
But I think it's good
when you got things
182
00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:26,518
That aren't seeing
the light of day,
183
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,585
Share it with somebody else.
184
00:06:27,654 --> 00:06:29,120
Jim: Now let's look around.
185
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:31,857
Yeah, this was all work space
and this was all storage.
186
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:35,193
And you can see
it's still a lot of storage.
187
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,863
Jim: It's pretty uncommon for
the museum to part with things.
188
00:06:38,065 --> 00:06:40,465
But you know, there
are certain times when...
189
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:42,867
Selling something,
190
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:45,804
And the money itself might
benefit us better
191
00:06:45,872 --> 00:06:46,604
In getting something
else we want.
192
00:06:46,673 --> 00:06:49,541
Jim: West point helmet, shako.
193
00:06:49,609 --> 00:06:52,344
Not in too good a shape,
194
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:56,014
Probably dates to somewhere
between world war I,
world war ii.
195
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:05,890
Robbie: I love the mannequin
on there. I mean, it's...
196
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,693
Jim: Someone made that
face for that, yeah.
197
00:07:08,896 --> 00:07:09,961
Jersey jon:
They did a great job.
198
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:11,563
Robbie: I mean, is this
something that you guys
199
00:07:11,631 --> 00:07:13,031
Would be willing to sell?
200
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:13,965
Jim: Well, I think we could.
We have another one
201
00:07:14,034 --> 00:07:15,766
In the display that's
in better shape and...
202
00:07:15,836 --> 00:07:17,902
So we probably could
sell that, yeah.
203
00:07:17,971 --> 00:07:19,971
Robbie: I don't buy a ton
of military stuff,
204
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:21,106
So you're going to have
to help me on this.
205
00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:23,575
Jersey jon: This is in pretty
tough shape, though, robbie.
206
00:07:23,644 --> 00:07:25,777
I'm thinking like 150 bucks.
207
00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:27,178
I mean, retail on
the end of this thing,
208
00:07:27,247 --> 00:07:30,381
We could probably squeeze...
225-250 out of this, robbie.
209
00:07:30,451 --> 00:07:31,516
But it's so cool.
210
00:07:31,718 --> 00:07:32,451
Jim: Yeah, I agree with you.
211
00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:33,985
It could sell for a little more
than 150,
212
00:07:34,053 --> 00:07:35,654
But I mean, you're going
to have to dress it up...
213
00:07:35,856 --> 00:07:36,988
Robbie: Right.
Jersey jon: Right.
214
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:38,790
Jim: So, I think the 150 bucks
would help the museum
215
00:07:38,858 --> 00:07:41,660
And in this case,
fair enough. Yeah.
216
00:07:41,862 --> 00:07:42,861
Robbie: 150.
Jim: Alright? Okay.
217
00:07:43,063 --> 00:07:45,063
Robbie: Appreciate it.
Jim: That makes sense.
218
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:47,799
Jim: For a museum purpose,
it's had some problems,
219
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:49,868
It even has some moth damage
on the side
220
00:07:49,936 --> 00:07:51,469
And you could see
what was wrong with it
221
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:53,605
For display in a museum.
222
00:07:53,673 --> 00:07:55,140
Robbie: It's got the look.
223
00:07:55,342 --> 00:07:56,874
Jim: Let's look at some signs.
Here's an old double cola sign
224
00:07:56,943 --> 00:07:59,544
Right here I'd like
for you to look at.
225
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:01,079
Jersey jon: Wow, it's huge.
226
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:03,682
Robbie: Yeah, look at this
thing, jersey. Look at that.
227
00:08:03,884 --> 00:08:04,682
Jersey jon: You got that,
robbie?
228
00:08:04,751 --> 00:08:05,950
Robbie: I got that.
Jim: A lot of character.
229
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:07,752
Robbie: Actually, it's got
a lot of hits on it.
230
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:09,087
What's the story
behind this thing?
231
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:11,890
Jim: You know, it came out
of an old building here in town.
232
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:12,757
Jersey jon: Really cool
graphics, robbie.
233
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,960
It's actually got
like thumb prints on it.
234
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:16,027
Jim: Yeah it does. Fingerprints.
Robbie: Yeah.
235
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:19,030
Robbie: It's probably around
1950, this was done.
236
00:08:19,099 --> 00:08:21,165
It's a painted sign
with a wood backing on it.
237
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:25,904
The bottle is 10-feet tall.
It's large and in charge.
238
00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:26,972
Robbie: This is something
you want to sell?
239
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,440
This came out of the jim
collection, you said.
240
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,842
Jim: That's right. I just
couldn't fit it in the garage,
it's too big.
241
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:33,177
Robbie: What's the jim
collection mean?
242
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:35,046
Jim: Well... I may show you that
later, if you're interested.
243
00:08:35,115 --> 00:08:36,848
Jersey jon: Yeah, we want
to see the jim collection.
244
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:39,984
Jim: Yeah, yeah,
there's a few more things.
245
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:41,786
Robbie: I've never seen
a double cola this big.
246
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:43,254
Jim: Double cola was
big around here.
247
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:46,123
Robbie: Here. Oh yeah.
Jim: We had a plant here
at one time. Yeah.
248
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:48,526
Robbie: I think a retail number
on it is probably like,
249
00:08:48,595 --> 00:08:51,262
Probably 1,500, you know?
250
00:08:51,331 --> 00:08:52,396
Jim: Yeah.
251
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:54,399
Robbie: If it was mint-o,
always going to damn more.
252
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:56,268
Jim: Oh yeah. Yeah.
253
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:57,202
Robbie: 900.
254
00:08:57,404 --> 00:08:58,669
Jim: 925.
255
00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:00,805
Robbie: 925, I'm doing it, jim.
256
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,008
Jim: Alright.
Robbie: I appreciate it.
257
00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:10,147
Jersey jon: This back
room is amazing.
258
00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:12,884
It's like the warehouse
at the raiders of the lost ark.
259
00:09:12,953 --> 00:09:14,752
It's so much stuff piled up
everywhere.
260
00:09:14,821 --> 00:09:17,155
It's like, goes on
and on and on.
261
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:19,023
Now I know jim's not going
to let us pick everything,
262
00:09:19,092 --> 00:09:20,158
But I'm having a lot
of fun just looking around.
263
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,027
Jersey jon: Hey jim, what's
the story with this thing?
264
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:24,762
Jim: It belongs to the museum.
It's a... As you can see,
265
00:09:24,831 --> 00:09:26,898
A piece of advertisement
for sunny brook.
266
00:09:26,967 --> 00:09:28,833
Jersey jon: Yeah, so
it's an electric clock.
267
00:09:29,036 --> 00:09:30,902
Jim: It is.
Jersey jon: Advertising clock.
268
00:09:30,971 --> 00:09:32,837
Jim: And I've plugged it in,
the clock runs.
269
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,040
Jersey jon: It's got
a really great tin back.
270
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:36,774
Jersey jon: This clock
is in amazing condition.
271
00:09:36,843 --> 00:09:38,176
The graphics on it
are beautiful.
272
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:41,045
It's reverse-painted. And oh,
paint's still on the glass.
273
00:09:41,114 --> 00:09:42,914
It's a really nice example
of whiskey advertising.
274
00:09:42,982 --> 00:09:46,450
Jersey jon: I'm thinking like...
200 bucks.
275
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:47,918
Jim: How about 250?
276
00:09:47,988 --> 00:09:49,920
Jersey jon: You got me.
Jim: Okay, alright.
277
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:50,054
Jersey jon: Absolutely, man.
Jim: Thank you.
278
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:56,728
Mike: Good to see
you again, man.
279
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:57,795
Jack: What's up, mike,
how you doing?
280
00:09:57,864 --> 00:09:58,663
Mike: Good to see you.
This is dani.
281
00:09:58,732 --> 00:09:59,998
Danielle: Hi.
Jack: Danielle.
282
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:02,333
Danielle: It's an honor.
Jack: Nice to meet you too.
283
00:10:02,402 --> 00:10:05,069
Mike: Yeah, you guys
have talked on the phone
and stuff but never met.
284
00:10:05,138 --> 00:10:06,804
What the heck's going on, man?
What do you got going on?
285
00:10:06,873 --> 00:10:08,873
Jack: I'm just cutting,
cutting records.
286
00:10:09,076 --> 00:10:10,608
Jack: Vinyl records
uh, you know, early 2000s
287
00:10:10,677 --> 00:10:12,877
Almost completely went away.
288
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:14,946
Fast forward a few
years later, in 2009,
289
00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:16,815
When third man records opened
in nashville
290
00:10:16,883 --> 00:10:19,084
And we wanted to
bring it alive again
291
00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:21,219
And in a different way,
and this time we had our own
292
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:24,022
Record store to do it, and we
pressed limited edition records,
293
00:10:24,091 --> 00:10:25,890
And tri-color records,
and glow in the dark records,
294
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:28,026
And all kinds of things,
playing with the format.
295
00:10:28,095 --> 00:10:30,828
We found a lot of unique ways
to get people interested
296
00:10:30,897 --> 00:10:32,497
And in the next few years,
the vinyl boom
297
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:34,766
Really took off from that,
298
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:35,567
A sort of genesis
from that time period
299
00:10:35,769 --> 00:10:38,003
When third man opened in 2009.
300
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:49,647
Mike: Okay. So when
you mean cutting a record,
301
00:10:49,716 --> 00:10:50,782
What are you talking about?
302
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:51,583
Jack: So we're talking about
here, like this is the lathe.
303
00:10:51,785 --> 00:10:54,919
We do the acetate master
on here.
304
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:56,854
So you have a recording
as tape or digital.
305
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:59,991
And you make the first
vinyl acetate here.
306
00:11:00,193 --> 00:11:02,594
And then from that, you make
the metal father first.
307
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:03,928
And then the metal mother,
308
00:11:03,996 --> 00:11:06,397
That ends up heading
to the plant to press
309
00:11:06,466 --> 00:11:07,865
Records en masse.
310
00:11:07,934 --> 00:11:08,799
Mike: Wow.
Bill: Then if you turn around,
311
00:11:08,868 --> 00:11:11,002
Down there on the floor,
is a stamper.
312
00:11:11,071 --> 00:11:13,471
And that's what comes back.
Jack: Yeah, here you go.
313
00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:14,672
Bill: That's a stamper.
314
00:11:14,741 --> 00:11:15,807
Jack: And so this is a negative
315
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:17,142
Of what would be
your vinyl records.
316
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:19,811
So obviously, when you put
a puck between two of these,
317
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,013
You'll get side a
or side b of an album.
318
00:11:22,215 --> 00:11:25,082
Um, but it's interesting
to note, like the old blues 78s,
319
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:27,418
Like some of the records
that were really hard to find,
320
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:30,354
The dream is to go back
and find the metal part
that made the record...
321
00:11:30,424 --> 00:11:32,156
Mike: Oh, has anybody done that?
Jack: Well, some of them
had been found,
322
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:34,959
But there was horror stories
of like, say paramount records
323
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:37,495
In wisconsin, like they
would end up using these
324
00:11:37,564 --> 00:11:39,030
As roof tiles, you know.
325
00:11:39,099 --> 00:11:41,032
And throwing them into
the river and stuff like that.
326
00:11:41,101 --> 00:11:42,833
Mike: Oh yeah, they wouldn't
have any value back then.
327
00:11:42,902 --> 00:11:44,235
Jack: Yeah, especially
when it's dented,
328
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:45,970
It's very hard to reuse it.
But obviously, if we had an old
329
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,038
Robert johnson 78,
we'd figure out a way to like,
330
00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:50,040
You know, try to get that,
to bring it back to life.
331
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:52,110
Mike: If you're into music,
then you remember
332
00:11:52,178 --> 00:11:54,779
When vinyl became part
of the conversation again.
333
00:11:54,848 --> 00:11:56,981
A lot of artists
were embracing it,
334
00:11:57,184 --> 00:11:59,784
Because they wanted
to celebrate their roots.
335
00:11:59,986 --> 00:12:02,853
So it's cool that jack
is an old soul.
336
00:12:02,922 --> 00:12:04,455
And he's talking about
robert johnson
337
00:12:04,524 --> 00:12:05,857
And pre-war blues.
338
00:12:05,926 --> 00:12:06,991
I mean, he hasn't
forgotten his roots.
339
00:12:17,204 --> 00:12:19,604
Jack: So now we're going
to cut a song from my new album,
340
00:12:19,673 --> 00:12:20,939
It's called if I die tomorrow.
341
00:12:21,007 --> 00:12:23,941
And we're going to cut
the master for this,
from the tape.
342
00:12:24,010 --> 00:12:24,942
Bill: You want me to show you
how to do it?
343
00:12:25,011 --> 00:12:26,477
Do you want to cut it?
Mike: Yeah, absolutely!
344
00:12:26,546 --> 00:12:28,012
Are you kidding me?
345
00:12:49,636 --> 00:12:51,035
Robbie: Hey, jim?
Jim: Yo.
346
00:12:51,238 --> 00:12:54,839
Robbie: So is this like
the archives area of the museum?
347
00:12:54,907 --> 00:12:56,907
It seems like there's
a lot of photos.
348
00:12:56,976 --> 00:12:59,911
Jim: Well, yeah,
this is really old archives.
349
00:12:59,980 --> 00:13:01,980
Robbie: Yeah.
Jim: Yeah. Lots of manuals...
350
00:13:02,182 --> 00:13:04,248
You can see all sorts
of files and folders and...
351
00:13:04,317 --> 00:13:06,717
Robbie: I'm sure you guys get
some crazy donations of things.
352
00:13:06,787 --> 00:13:08,720
Jim: Oh, well we get
correspondence
353
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:09,654
From all over the world,
actually.
354
00:13:09,722 --> 00:13:12,190
Jersey jon: Jim. This is cool.
355
00:13:12,258 --> 00:13:15,993
I'm interested in something like
this, a podium, world war I.
356
00:13:16,062 --> 00:13:17,729
It's got a lot of patina,
it's got the old nails.
357
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:20,264
It's definitely like,
1915 to 1920.
358
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:22,467
50 bucks.
359
00:13:22,535 --> 00:13:23,735
Jim: How about 55?
360
00:13:23,937 --> 00:13:24,869
Just so the museum feels
a little better.
361
00:13:24,938 --> 00:13:26,337
Jersey jon: No problem, man.
Jim: Alright.
362
00:13:26,405 --> 00:13:28,472
Jersey jon: That's great.
I appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
363
00:13:28,542 --> 00:13:31,876
Robbie: Any time a museum
is going to allow you
in their back room,
364
00:13:31,945 --> 00:13:34,012
This is where
the excess inventory is.
365
00:13:38,951 --> 00:13:40,685
Jim: Well, robbie,
you like my elevator?
366
00:13:40,887 --> 00:13:42,353
Robbie: Yeah. I mean,
it is cool.
367
00:13:42,422 --> 00:13:44,889
Everybody wants an elevator
in their building,
you know what I mean?
368
00:13:44,957 --> 00:13:46,357
Jim: Well, listen,
you're not going to find
369
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:48,826
Another one like this.
It's got a lot of nice
brass plaques on it.
370
00:13:48,895 --> 00:13:50,228
Of course, it's got
the control there.
371
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:52,029
Robbie: Yeah, I see
the controls,
there's a button here.
372
00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:54,765
Jim: You could put a stained
glass lamp of some sort.
373
00:13:54,835 --> 00:13:56,500
Shoot me an offer,
shoot me an offer.
374
00:13:56,570 --> 00:13:58,636
Robbie: No, no, no, no.
375
00:13:58,704 --> 00:13:59,771
This is one of those things,
376
00:13:59,973 --> 00:14:01,505
I'm not shooting
a number on this thing.
377
00:14:01,574 --> 00:14:03,040
Jim: How about $1,000?
378
00:14:03,109 --> 00:14:05,843
Robbie: Number one, this isn't
going to fit in the van.
379
00:14:05,912 --> 00:14:07,512
I think we'd have
to have it shipped.
380
00:14:07,714 --> 00:14:09,246
Which is going to cost me.
381
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:10,014
Jim: Hm.
382
00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:12,850
Robbie: 750 bucks.
383
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:14,919
Jim: Slap her here.
Robbie: Man. Jersey!
384
00:14:14,988 --> 00:14:17,788
Jersey jon: Ha, robbie!
This thing is huge, bro!
385
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:18,923
Robbie: It takes
a special person.
386
00:14:18,992 --> 00:14:21,993
I guess I'm that guy today
to buy an elevator.
387
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:24,662
Jersey jon: I found this,
like a pile of paper here.
388
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:27,799
And... There's some maps, map...
389
00:14:28,001 --> 00:14:29,467
Jim: Oh yeah.
Jersey jon: Aviation fuel,
390
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:31,535
Engine performance book.
391
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:32,737
What's cool, this is a...
392
00:14:32,939 --> 00:14:33,804
Jim: Yeah, that's
the e reward, yeah.
393
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:35,540
Jersey jon: It's called
an e award?
394
00:14:35,742 --> 00:14:38,075
Jim: Yeah, e for efficiency.
395
00:14:38,144 --> 00:14:39,610
It's the booklet that was
handed out when they awarded
396
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:42,814
The e flag to a particular
factory or manufacturer
that was producing--
397
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:44,148
Jersey jon: Making
war production.
398
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:46,150
Jim: Producing at the--
jersey jon: Like saying, hey,
399
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,086
You guys are doing a great job.
This went to the employees.
400
00:14:48,288 --> 00:14:50,821
Jim: They gave... Yes, this
would have been at the ceremony.
401
00:14:50,891 --> 00:14:54,025
And they gave a small
pennant-sized flag
402
00:14:54,093 --> 00:14:55,827
To the employees, and then
they hung the big flag--
403
00:14:56,029 --> 00:14:58,029
You see the big flag
hanging here in the...
404
00:14:58,097 --> 00:14:59,097
Robbie: Oh that's cool.
Jersey jon: That is cool.
405
00:14:59,165 --> 00:15:01,699
Keep the enthusiasm going, man,
war production.
406
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:03,101
Here you got your
disney characters,
407
00:15:03,169 --> 00:15:05,035
It's like, buy war bonds.
Jim: Buy one for your child.
408
00:15:05,104 --> 00:15:06,838
Jersey jon: Yeah, exactly.
I mean, it's just so neat
409
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,572
To have like, everybody got
on board,
410
00:15:08,642 --> 00:15:10,041
It just really is fantastic.
411
00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:12,109
It's a nice picture
of what was going on back then.
412
00:15:12,178 --> 00:15:15,179
War ration book, you know?
Robbie: Oh I remember those.
413
00:15:15,382 --> 00:15:17,849
Jersey jon: No gas. You know,
you had to ration your gas out.
414
00:15:18,051 --> 00:15:19,584
I mean, look at this stuff,
it's so cool.
415
00:15:19,786 --> 00:15:22,053
It's a discharge for u.S. Navy.
416
00:15:22,122 --> 00:15:23,855
Jim: Where's that one?
Jersey jon: Look at the quality
417
00:15:24,057 --> 00:15:24,922
Of the engravings
on the top of these things.
418
00:15:24,991 --> 00:15:27,858
Jim: Yeah, early world war ii.
Robbie: 1944.
419
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:29,260
Jersey jon: There's beautiful
engraving,
420
00:15:29,329 --> 00:15:32,529
The graphics was nice.
I mean, this was his
training certificate
421
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:34,599
For air station in texas.
422
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:36,000
Jim: For graduation, yeah.
423
00:15:36,202 --> 00:15:37,602
Jersey jon: These are important
pieces of history.
424
00:15:37,804 --> 00:15:39,937
To me, paperwork, literature,
425
00:15:40,006 --> 00:15:41,605
Is a really important part
of research
426
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:42,806
And understanding history.
427
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:45,610
What gets my interest
right away
428
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:46,944
Is an honorable discharge paper.
429
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:49,013
Jersey jon: These things
are really beautiful.
430
00:15:49,081 --> 00:15:51,015
Jim: Honorable discharge.
Jersey jon: You know.
431
00:15:51,084 --> 00:15:53,617
Jim: And that's probably
the two things I can't sell,
432
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:56,020
Are these two documents here.
433
00:15:56,222 --> 00:15:58,690
Jersey jon: So we'll take them
out of the equation here.
434
00:15:58,892 --> 00:16:00,425
I'm still interested
in this stuff.
435
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:01,492
You got three maps here.
436
00:16:01,694 --> 00:16:03,828
You got the e certificate,
437
00:16:03,896 --> 00:16:06,364
The aviation fuels,
the disney piece.
438
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:07,164
Jim: Mm-hmm.
439
00:16:07,233 --> 00:16:08,166
Jersey jon: And the war
ration book.
440
00:16:08,368 --> 00:16:09,834
Um...
441
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:12,569
Tou know, I'm thinking
like 50 bucks.
442
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:14,772
Jim: You got a deal. Okay.
443
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,240
Jersey jon: Man,
I love it, thanks.
444
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:17,508
Jersey jon: There's collectors
for paper goods like this
445
00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:18,576
All over the place.
446
00:16:18,778 --> 00:16:19,710
Robbie: Jim, you said you had
447
00:16:19,779 --> 00:16:21,579
More stuff in another building.
448
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:23,113
Jim: Yeah, if you want to...
449
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:25,916
Travel just down the street
a little ways to my house.
450
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:27,785
Robbie: Alright. Lead the way.
Jim: Yeah, okay.
451
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,587
Robbie: If jim's place
is anything like
452
00:16:29,656 --> 00:16:31,522
The back room of the museum,
453
00:16:31,591 --> 00:16:32,991
I'm excited to go there.
454
00:16:37,197 --> 00:16:40,064
Jack: Now we're going to cut
a song from my new album,
455
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:41,732
It's called if I die tomorrow,
and we're going to cut
456
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:43,734
The master for this
from the tape.
457
00:16:43,803 --> 00:16:45,803
Mike: Okay.
Bill: We're queued up.
458
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:46,804
Danielle: We get to
watch it firsthand.
459
00:16:46,873 --> 00:16:48,873
Bill: Want me to show
you how to do it?
460
00:16:49,075 --> 00:16:49,674
Mike: Yeah, absolutely!
Are you kidding me?
461
00:16:49,876 --> 00:16:51,676
Bill: So what we do first
of all,
462
00:16:51,878 --> 00:16:52,943
Is we got to start
this platter up.
463
00:16:53,013 --> 00:16:54,878
Bill: Okay, it's on.
So what you're going to do
464
00:16:54,947 --> 00:16:56,814
Is you're going to roll
this over here.
465
00:16:56,883 --> 00:16:57,882
You're going to press
the white button.
466
00:16:57,951 --> 00:17:00,952
Yep. Throw this handle back,
knock this back.
467
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,688
You're going to drop
the cutter head slowly...
468
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:05,890
All the way down 'til
it latches.
469
00:17:05,959 --> 00:17:07,625
Perfect. And now you're
going to hit "fast".
470
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:08,759
Mike: Push "fast"?
Bill: Yep.
471
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:10,828
Mike: Right now?
Bill: Yep, go ahead.
472
00:17:10,897 --> 00:17:12,997
We're in the groove.
And now press play.
473
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:14,766
Bill: And we're cutting.
474
00:17:14,968 --> 00:17:19,503

Mike: I had no idea
that the process
484
00:17:48,935 --> 00:17:51,869
For cutting a record
was so elaborate.
485
00:17:51,938 --> 00:17:54,138
Now that I understand
what it takes,
486
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:57,008
I'm going to be listening
to vinyl completely differently.
487
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:59,076
Danielle: Incredible.
Bill: We're getting close
488
00:17:59,145 --> 00:18:00,812
To the end of this cut.
So dani, at the end of this,
489
00:18:01,014 --> 00:18:02,813
You're going to hit
this "fast" button.
490
00:18:02,882 --> 00:18:04,348
Danielle: Okay.
Bill: Wait a second,
491
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:06,684
Wait a second, we're going
to turn this up and listen
to the fade out.
492
00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:08,352
And as soon
as the music stops...
493
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:09,420
(songs fades out)
494
00:18:09,489 --> 00:18:09,987
Bill: ...Hit "fast".
495
00:18:12,291 --> 00:18:13,958
Danielle: Ah, that's so cool!
Bill: And you just cut a record.
496
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:15,759
Jack: You just cut a record.
Danielle: What!
497
00:18:15,828 --> 00:18:16,961
Bill: Thanks guys.
Jack: Good job.
498
00:18:17,163 --> 00:18:18,962
Danielle: That's so cool!
Mike: That's so cool, man.
499
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:20,898
Jack: So if you'd like
to see the whole process,
500
00:18:20,966 --> 00:18:23,301
Now where we go from here,
we can go over
501
00:18:23,369 --> 00:18:25,036
To the pressing plant here
and you can see
what happens next.
502
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,171
Mike: Okay.
Bill: I'll take you guys
out there.
503
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,040
I'll take you up with eddie
and we'll go through the plant.
504
00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,041
You guys want to do that?
Mike: Yeah, absolutely.
505
00:18:31,111 --> 00:18:32,510
Jack: When you're done,
I'll catch back up with you
506
00:18:32,578 --> 00:18:34,512
And talk to you about
what I called you for
in the first place.
507
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:36,981
Mike: Yeah, I'd love to hear
more about that, too,
but this is fascinating.
508
00:18:37,183 --> 00:18:38,782
Bill: Yeah awesome.
Alright, let's go meet eddie.
509
00:18:38,852 --> 00:18:39,784
Mike: Thanks, brother.
Jack: No doubt.
510
00:18:39,986 --> 00:18:42,053
Jack: Bill skibbe is an amazing
engineer,
511
00:18:42,255 --> 00:18:44,188
And he started working in
the third man mastering studio,
512
00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:46,990
And he learned how to cut vinyl
and he's really talented at it.
513
00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:49,794
And we're lucky, we really
only invite people in
514
00:18:49,996 --> 00:18:51,462
Who really love music,
really love vinyl,
515
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:53,063
And love to be creative.
516
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:55,333
Bill: So this is where we make
all the records out here.
517
00:18:55,401 --> 00:18:56,733
Mike: Wow.
518
00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:58,068
Bill: Yep. We got plant
operators
519
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:01,004
Working from 7 in the morning
until 11 every night.
520
00:19:01,073 --> 00:19:02,540
Danielle: That's so cool.
Bill: Yeah, it's crazy.
521
00:19:02,608 --> 00:19:05,075
Production has gone through
the roof. Let me get you
introduced to eddie,
522
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:06,610
Jack's brother, and he'll give
us a tour of the plant.
523
00:19:06,679 --> 00:19:08,012
Hey, eddie!
Eddie: Yeah.
524
00:19:08,081 --> 00:19:09,346
Bill: Can you give these guys
a tour of the plant?
525
00:19:09,415 --> 00:19:11,816
Eddie: Oh, yeah.
Mike: We're standing
in a state-of-the-art
526
00:19:12,018 --> 00:19:14,484
Record pressing plant.
But as high-tech
527
00:19:14,554 --> 00:19:15,953
As this process is,
528
00:19:16,022 --> 00:19:18,022
And with all
the state-of-the-art machinery,
529
00:19:18,091 --> 00:19:22,092
People are still a very
big part of this process.
530
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:25,496
I love that, because the roots
of pressing records
531
00:19:25,564 --> 00:19:27,231
Is still the same.
532
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:29,633
Jack: The real reason I called
here, I want to show you now.
533
00:19:29,702 --> 00:19:32,003
Mike: Yeah, hell yeah. Oh, wow.
534
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:35,006
(upbeat music)
535
00:19:39,112 --> 00:19:40,978
Robbie: I'm looking up
in the windows up here,
536
00:19:41,046 --> 00:19:42,446
And there's stuff
falling through, basically.
537
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:44,849
Jersey jon: Coming out the top.
Jim: That's because that's
the last space
538
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:46,850
That was available.
Garage was dubbed
539
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,785
By some of our friends
as the garage mahal.
540
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,054
Come on in,
let's just take a look.
541
00:19:51,056 --> 00:19:52,723
Robbie: Jersey! Look at this!
Jersey jon: Whoa!
542
00:19:52,792 --> 00:19:54,658
Robbie: You got to be
kidding me!
543
00:19:54,727 --> 00:19:56,594
Jersey jon: The garage mahal,
544
00:19:56,663 --> 00:19:57,327
It really is pretty amazing.
545
00:19:57,396 --> 00:19:59,130
Robbie: Wow!
546
00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:01,132
Jim: You see why I don't have
any room for big signs.
547
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,200
Jersey jon: There's not
an empty space on the wall.
548
00:20:03,269 --> 00:20:05,469
Jim: Most of it really came from
flea markets and garage sales
549
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:07,738
And stuff, anything my wife
and I would see on the road
and stop and see.
550
00:20:07,807 --> 00:20:11,942
The garage mahal
was built in 2000.
551
00:20:12,011 --> 00:20:15,078
And the idea was
that that was going to house
552
00:20:15,147 --> 00:20:17,882
A lot of these things
that my wife and I collected.
553
00:20:18,084 --> 00:20:20,685
The old memorabilia
from the '40s and '50s.
554
00:20:20,887 --> 00:20:23,020
Jim: Well, this is an
accumulation
555
00:20:23,089 --> 00:20:24,622
Of a little bit of everything.
Robbie: Look at this.
556
00:20:24,691 --> 00:20:26,090
Jersey jon: Not messing around.
557
00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:28,892
Robbie: This upstairs has got
snail trails through it.
558
00:20:28,962 --> 00:20:31,562
I don't even know
where to begin to look.
559
00:20:31,631 --> 00:20:32,896
Jersey jon: It's piled high.
560
00:20:32,966 --> 00:20:34,899
Robbie: Man, there's so
much stuff up here.
561
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:36,767
Jim, do you have every
piece of militaria
562
00:20:36,835 --> 00:20:38,636
That was ever made
in indiana here?
563
00:20:38,704 --> 00:20:40,371
Jim: I do.
Jersey jon: Wow.
564
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:42,039
Jim: At one time or another,
I had probably
the world's largest...
565
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:43,774
Robbie: Collection.
Jim: Collection of them, yeah.
566
00:20:43,843 --> 00:20:46,243
Jim: My interest
in military history,
567
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:50,180
Military artifacts started when
I was four of five years old
568
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:53,918
And my father was building
drive-in theaters at that time.
569
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,854
So I saw every war movie
ever made, as a youngster.
570
00:20:57,056 --> 00:20:59,657
So a few years later from when
I was probably
571
00:20:59,859 --> 00:21:01,458
Nine or ten years old,
my father,
572
00:21:01,527 --> 00:21:02,726
Who was not a collector,
573
00:21:02,795 --> 00:21:05,062
Came home with
a civil war musket
574
00:21:05,131 --> 00:21:06,931
That somebody had owed him
a little money and they just
575
00:21:06,999 --> 00:21:08,866
Convinced him to take
the musket instead.
576
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:11,535
And I'll always remember
that musket was taller
577
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:13,871
Than I was at the time.
578
00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:15,873
And that was the beginning of,
oh hey,
579
00:21:15,942 --> 00:21:18,275
Not only did I have interest
in this stuff,
580
00:21:18,344 --> 00:21:22,747
But I can collect it too.
So that let the genie
out of the box.
581
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:25,082
Robbie: Look at this, jersey.
Oh yeah.
582
00:21:25,151 --> 00:21:26,617
Jersey jon: That fits you nice,
robbie. Is that vietnam?
583
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:28,686
Jim: That's yeah,
that's vietnam
584
00:21:28,755 --> 00:21:30,821
Up to desert storm
and so forth.
585
00:21:30,890 --> 00:21:32,622
Robbie: Really. I kind
feel like top gun.
586
00:21:32,692 --> 00:21:33,691
Jim: Yeah, it does look good.
587
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:35,959
Jersey jon: It fits
you perfectly.
588
00:21:36,028 --> 00:21:36,960
Jim: Hey, it's tom cruise
'til he turns around.
589
00:21:37,030 --> 00:21:39,563
Robbie: Do I look like
tom cruise from behind?
590
00:21:39,766 --> 00:21:40,965
What's the matter with you guys?
591
00:21:41,033 --> 00:21:42,032
Jersey jon: Yeah.
He wishes he was tom cruise.
592
00:21:42,101 --> 00:21:44,502
Robbie: Whatever. This would
be a great winter jacket.
593
00:21:44,704 --> 00:21:45,303
Jersey jon: Yeah it would.
594
00:21:45,505 --> 00:21:46,570
Robbie: What do they
go for, jim?
595
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:47,638
Jim: Hey, how about 40?
596
00:21:47,707 --> 00:21:48,973
Robbie: 40 bucks, I'm doing it.
597
00:21:49,041 --> 00:21:50,975
Jim: Alright.
Jersey jon: Yeah, that's cool.
598
00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:51,842
Jersey jon: Harley parts.
Jim: Do you see it?
599
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:54,011
Jersey jon: It's right here.
Robbie: Okay.
600
00:21:56,115 --> 00:21:58,115
Jersey jon: Oh, here you go.
I like that. Speedometer.
601
00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:00,117
Jim: Oh, yeah. No guarantee
about whether it works or not.
602
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,386
Jersey jon: Well, I see
the needle bounces
a little bit.
603
00:22:02,588 --> 00:22:04,788
So that's 1948 to...
604
00:22:04,857 --> 00:22:06,590
Jim: Uh-huh.
Jersey jon: ...'50 or so.
605
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:07,792
'51. It's still a great piece.
606
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:09,593
I mean, the face
is pretty darn nice.
607
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:10,795
The numbers are still on it.
608
00:22:10,997 --> 00:22:12,196
Jersey jon: Obviously, you could
tell it's original piece.
609
00:22:12,265 --> 00:22:15,198
From the back of it, it's got
a little bit of rust on it,
610
00:22:15,267 --> 00:22:17,134
It's got the original can,
it's got the date code on it.
611
00:22:17,203 --> 00:22:19,803
It also has a really nice
reverse-painted glass face,
612
00:22:19,872 --> 00:22:21,739
And all the numbers
are still on it.
613
00:22:21,941 --> 00:22:24,008
Jersey jon: I'd go 400
on this thing.
614
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:26,143
Jim: Yeah, I'll do that,
I'll do that.
615
00:22:26,212 --> 00:22:27,945
Jersey jon: You'll do 400?
Jim: Yeah, I need to move it,
616
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:31,615
'cause it's just sitting there.
It's alright.
617
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:31,982
Jersey jon: I like you, jim.
618
00:22:37,957 --> 00:22:38,955
Jack: The real reason I called
you here,
619
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,891
I want to show you now.
Mike: Yeah, hell yeah.
620
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,829
Jack: Check this out.
Mike: Okay. Box truck.
621
00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:46,697
Jack: It looks just like
a box truck, right?
622
00:22:46,899 --> 00:22:49,967
It's just a rusted,
dirty box truck.
623
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:52,303
Come around the back here
and check this out.
624
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:53,003
Mike: Mm-hmm.
625
00:22:55,641 --> 00:22:57,374
Danielle: Stop it right now.
626
00:22:57,443 --> 00:22:58,108
Mike: Oh, wow.
627
00:22:58,177 --> 00:22:59,844
Danielle: Are you kidding me?!
628
00:22:59,912 --> 00:23:02,112
Jack: This is a mobile
recording truck.
629
00:23:02,181 --> 00:23:05,115
Mike: You're always getting
into something cool as hell.
630
00:23:05,184 --> 00:23:07,852
Jack: You can actually take
this truck to a live show,
631
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,720
Truck pulls up,
we wire everything up,
632
00:23:09,789 --> 00:23:11,054
You record straight
to the truck.
633
00:23:11,124 --> 00:23:13,857
And you don't have to set up
anything inside the venue.
634
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:15,125
Jack: You know, if you play
in a live venue,
635
00:23:15,194 --> 00:23:17,127
You could have somebody
rent a tape machine and a board
636
00:23:17,196 --> 00:23:20,064
And bring it into the venue.
But what this was all about
637
00:23:20,266 --> 00:23:22,065
Was no, that's already taken
care of, it's on the truck.
638
00:23:22,134 --> 00:23:24,668
All we gotta do is wire it up
and you're good to go.
639
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:25,936
Mike: Where'd you
guys find it at?
640
00:23:26,005 --> 00:23:27,872
Bill: We found it down
in yellow springs, ohio.
641
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,006
Jack: Mm-hmm.
You know, you hear rumors
642
00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:31,208
Of things like this.
How there was a recording truck
643
00:23:31,277 --> 00:23:33,811
That did a thing and they had
this cool studio that did this.
644
00:23:34,013 --> 00:23:35,078
So it's one of those
mythological things
645
00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:37,281
That you didn't think,
maybe didn't even really exist.
646
00:23:37,483 --> 00:23:39,883
Bill: This thing was made
by an 18-year-old engineer
here in town.
647
00:23:39,952 --> 00:23:41,485
Danielle: What!
Bill: Working for a company
648
00:23:41,553 --> 00:23:42,619
Called metro audio.
649
00:23:42,688 --> 00:23:44,288
Mike: What year was this done?
650
00:23:44,357 --> 00:23:45,423
Bill: 1971.
651
00:23:45,625 --> 00:23:49,760
And it recorded bob seger's
'live' bullet, kiss alive!
652
00:23:49,828 --> 00:23:52,029
Jack: Kiss alive.
Kiss alive, okay?
653
00:23:52,098 --> 00:23:53,964
I mean, let alone, that's like
what broke that band.
654
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:56,100
Them recording at cobo arena
is this amazing moment
655
00:23:56,302 --> 00:23:58,702
That went through this truck.
That's like, one of the most
656
00:23:58,770 --> 00:23:59,837
Famous live albums of the '70s.
657
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:02,172
Mike: Wow. How do you
know all this stuff?
658
00:24:02,241 --> 00:24:04,107
Are you talking to people that
actually used to run this stuff?
659
00:24:04,176 --> 00:24:05,776
Bill: Well, I've run into
a couple of the old engineers
660
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:07,110
Who tipped us off
to some things.
661
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:09,179
Hearing around, we're hearing
little bits and pieces of,
662
00:24:09,248 --> 00:24:11,047
I knew they did
the new york dolls record
with that thing.
663
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:12,716
And it even did sid vicious,
the solo record, yeah.
664
00:24:12,784 --> 00:24:13,917
Danielle: Geez.
Mike: No way.
665
00:24:13,986 --> 00:24:15,920
Bill: So it was all over
the place. The story goes
666
00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:18,055
That the guy who built it,
the kid retired
667
00:24:18,124 --> 00:24:20,790
And then the guy who owned
the truck, that the company,
668
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:22,125
Charles buchanan,
retired to florida.
669
00:24:22,194 --> 00:24:24,862
He did the lynyrd skynyrd
record, one more from the road.
670
00:24:24,931 --> 00:24:26,263
Mike: Oh, wow.
Bill: It was done with this,
671
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:27,798
And they mixed it down there.
And then he fell in love
with florida
672
00:24:27,867 --> 00:24:29,666
And retired from michigan
down to florida.
673
00:24:29,735 --> 00:24:30,868
So the truck went
down with him...
674
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:32,269
So he kind of just
phased out of doing
675
00:24:32,338 --> 00:24:35,005
The live recording thing,
kind of retired
and went into film.
676
00:24:47,086 --> 00:24:49,553
Mike: So when you guys
bought this, did you know any
677
00:24:49,622 --> 00:24:52,489
Of the history of it at all?
Or you just bought it because it
was a rolling studio.
678
00:24:52,558 --> 00:24:55,158
Bill: I bought it 'cause
it was stud-- I mean,
I went and saw it, freaked out,
679
00:24:55,228 --> 00:24:57,761
Bought it on the spot. We didn't
know any of the history of it.
680
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:59,163
Jack: Our hope now
is to restore it.
681
00:24:59,231 --> 00:25:01,765
Danielle: Yeah! That's awesome.
Jack: Isn't that great?
682
00:25:01,968 --> 00:25:03,033
Mike: So, you guys want
to restore this.
683
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:04,768
Jack: Absolutely.
Mike: What are you looking for?
684
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:06,236
Jack: We want to bring it back
to life.
685
00:25:06,305 --> 00:25:09,439
We want to make it a working
recording studio
on wheels again.
686
00:25:09,509 --> 00:25:13,177
And the history of it
and what it's capable of doing
is just incredible.
687
00:25:13,245 --> 00:25:14,844
I just don't think there's
anything out there like this.
688
00:25:14,914 --> 00:25:17,180
Mike: What do you want
us to do, though?
689
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:19,116
As far as like, you're looking
for parts for it or something?
690
00:25:19,318 --> 00:25:20,384
Jack: We want you to give us
one million dollars for this.
691
00:25:20,452 --> 00:25:22,987
(all laughing)
692
00:25:27,126 --> 00:25:29,059
Jersey jon: This old box,
I think... Oh, it's a sextant.
693
00:25:29,128 --> 00:25:31,595
Jim: Yes, it is a sextant.
That's what I thought, yeah.
694
00:25:31,664 --> 00:25:32,997
Jersey jon: Want to sell that?
695
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,131
Jim: I don't. It's not
a treasure or anything, but...
696
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,000
Jersey jon: Right. But it looks
like it's used, you know,
697
00:25:37,069 --> 00:25:38,602
It was on a ship somewhere,
they were using it.
698
00:25:38,804 --> 00:25:39,736
Jim: Oh yeah, that definitely--
699
00:25:39,805 --> 00:25:40,938
Jersey jon: It's a navigation
aid.
700
00:25:41,007 --> 00:25:42,606
Jim: It's a world war ii piece.
Jersey jon: Yes.
701
00:25:42,808 --> 00:25:43,874
Jersey jon: Okay, not for sale.
702
00:25:43,942 --> 00:25:46,677
Jim: It was fun to see
robbie and jersey
703
00:25:46,745 --> 00:25:47,677
Both rummaging through things.
704
00:25:47,746 --> 00:25:49,946
Especially when we got upstairs
705
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:53,083
And the had to dig under
everything and so forth.
706
00:25:53,152 --> 00:25:55,418
They kind of reminded me
of two blind dogs
in a meat house.
707
00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:58,021
It's an excitement
just to see somebody else
excited about these things.
708
00:25:58,090 --> 00:26:00,157
Robbie: Look at that, jersey.
Jersey jon: That's cool.
709
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:02,693
Robbie: Remember you used to
call your date on Friday night?
710
00:26:02,762 --> 00:26:04,294
Jersey jon: Yeah,
it's a pay phone.
711
00:26:04,363 --> 00:26:05,629
Yeah, your mom gave
you your a quarter,
you went down the street.
712
00:26:05,698 --> 00:26:07,698
You want to sell
this thing, jim?
713
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,966
Jim: I'd sell it.
Robbie: 150 bucks.
714
00:26:10,035 --> 00:26:12,636
Jersey jon: Oh.
Jim: You know, how about 165?
715
00:26:12,705 --> 00:26:15,438
Robbie: He's fighting for every
nickel today, jersey.
I'm going to give it to him.
716
00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:16,907
Jim: Son of a gun.
717
00:26:17,109 --> 00:26:18,776
Robbie: I appreciate you,
buddy, I appreciate you.
718
00:26:18,978 --> 00:26:19,776
Jim: Okay. Alright.
Robbie: Thank you.
719
00:26:19,845 --> 00:26:21,011
Jim: Alright.
Jersey jon: Thank you.
720
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:27,784
Jersey jon: What have
we got here...?
721
00:26:27,853 --> 00:26:29,787
Jim: Yeah, that's
a world war ii poster.
722
00:26:29,855 --> 00:26:32,189
Jersey jon: Graphic.
Jim: Yeah, yeah.
723
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:34,658
That's a good one.
That's one of the ones
I really like.
724
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,193
Jersey jon: 1942.
Jim: '42, yeah.
725
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:38,796
Jersey jon: I mean, I really
like it. It's really graphic.
726
00:26:38,998 --> 00:26:40,664
"attack, attack, attack!"
man, that, oof.
727
00:26:40,866 --> 00:26:42,332
Puts you in the moment,
don't it?
728
00:26:42,401 --> 00:26:43,533
Jim: Yeah.
729
00:26:43,603 --> 00:26:45,069
Jersey jon: What I really loved
about this war bonds poster
730
00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:48,472
I found, it's got airplanes
on it, it's got tanks on it,
731
00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:52,076
It's got battleships on it.
It's got every aspect
of the war theater on it.
732
00:26:52,144 --> 00:26:53,877
Jersey jon: Storming the beach,
condition's great.
733
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,612
Jersey jon: Another thing about
this poster,
734
00:26:55,681 --> 00:26:56,880
It was signed by the artist.
735
00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:59,483
Jersey jon: Ferdinand warren.
Artist.
736
00:26:59,685 --> 00:27:00,751
Jim: Give me, give me 120.
737
00:27:00,819 --> 00:27:03,219
Jersey jon: 120 bucks?
Jim: Yeah.
738
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:04,821
Jersey jon: Tell you what, man,
I like it, I'll do 120 bucks.
739
00:27:04,890 --> 00:27:06,757
Jim: Okay.
Jersey jon: Thank you, sir.
740
00:27:06,825 --> 00:27:08,158
Jersey jon: That's
a great piece.
741
00:27:08,227 --> 00:27:10,160
Jim: I mean, it's fun to see
the guys go through the attic
742
00:27:10,362 --> 00:27:12,997
And they actually
uncovered a few things
I'd forgotten about.
743
00:27:21,107 --> 00:27:23,841
Robbie: This is a barber shop.
Oh, what the heck? That?
744
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:25,976
Look at this, jersey.
This is nuts!
745
00:27:26,045 --> 00:27:28,112
Jersey jon: This is better
than even man cave, man.
746
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:30,113
This is like the inner sanctum
where it all happens.
747
00:27:30,182 --> 00:27:31,848
Jim: This is...
Robbie: Look at this,
look at this.
748
00:27:31,917 --> 00:27:33,116
Jim: Yeah, this is
kind of the man cave.
749
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:35,919
Jim: Up 'til just a few
weeks ago, I had a tv in there.
750
00:27:36,122 --> 00:27:38,122
And so you know, it's a place
where you can just
751
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,524
Flop on the couch and turn
a program on and just relax.
752
00:27:40,592 --> 00:27:41,792
Robbie: You got a cigar?
753
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:43,393
Jersey jon: You're a judge,
aren't you?
754
00:27:43,462 --> 00:27:44,194
Jim: Retired now.
755
00:27:44,396 --> 00:27:45,996
Jersey jon: That's very
impressive.
756
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:48,065
Jim: I had no idea when I came
out of law school
757
00:27:48,267 --> 00:27:49,733
That was ever going to happen,
or why I would be a judge.
758
00:27:49,802 --> 00:27:52,069
And ended up 39 years
on the bench
759
00:27:52,271 --> 00:27:56,273
Plus another three or four
as a senior judge after that.
760
00:27:56,341 --> 00:28:00,677
That's all aside now. And I'm
focusing totally on the museum.
761
00:28:00,746 --> 00:28:02,813
Robbie: Is that for sale, jim?
762
00:28:02,882 --> 00:28:05,082
Jim: For the right price,
I guess I would,
763
00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:07,551
If you really want to hit me
good with that offer.
764
00:28:07,753 --> 00:28:08,552
Here, you want to look at it?
765
00:28:08,621 --> 00:28:09,553
Robbie: Yeah, let me see it,
let me see it.
766
00:28:09,755 --> 00:28:12,088
Got the stand up on the back.
767
00:28:12,157 --> 00:28:14,424
Robbie: This was a big
advertising that must have been
768
00:28:14,493 --> 00:28:15,826
In a cigar store.
769
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:18,095
Probably from the '30s, '40s,
or the '50s.
770
00:28:18,297 --> 00:28:22,566
You know, in the advertising
world, anything that's cardboard
771
00:28:22,635 --> 00:28:24,101
Is like, was disintegrated.
772
00:28:24,303 --> 00:28:26,904
It was gone, water damage.
They threw them in the garbage.
773
00:28:27,106 --> 00:28:29,639
Robbie: It's the old guy,
telling the young guy...
774
00:28:29,709 --> 00:28:30,841
Jim: Telling the
young guy, yeah.
775
00:28:30,909 --> 00:28:31,508
Robbie: ...What you need
to be smoking.
776
00:28:31,576 --> 00:28:33,777
Jim: 7-20-4... Yeah.
777
00:28:33,846 --> 00:28:34,578
Robbie: It's you trying
to tell me,
778
00:28:34,647 --> 00:28:36,246
You're the old guy, jersey.
779
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:37,380
(laughing)
780
00:28:37,450 --> 00:28:38,515
Jersey jon: Who's got
the grey hair here, robbie?
781
00:28:38,584 --> 00:28:40,184
Robbie: Yeah, I know.
782
00:28:40,252 --> 00:28:42,653
Jim: But one thing about it,
you gotta buy it and the box.
783
00:28:42,855 --> 00:28:44,788
Robbie: Is it a good box,
you know?
784
00:28:44,857 --> 00:28:46,122
Jim: It is a good box.
There you go.
785
00:28:46,191 --> 00:28:50,727
Robbie: Yeah, see, 7-20-4
cigars, okay. But there's no...
786
00:28:50,796 --> 00:28:51,862
Jersey jon: Careful
with the lid.
787
00:28:52,064 --> 00:28:52,929
Robbie: There's no advertising
on it though.
788
00:28:52,998 --> 00:28:56,066
Just the building.
Manchester, new hampshire.
789
00:28:56,135 --> 00:28:57,867
Jim: I think I looked for five
years to find that box.
790
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:00,070
Robbie: Two-and-a-quarter.
Jim: Oh gosh.
791
00:29:00,139 --> 00:29:01,939
It's not that great.
Robbie: No, well,
here's the deal.
792
00:29:02,007 --> 00:29:04,808
Condition, you can see
it's faded out here.
793
00:29:04,877 --> 00:29:05,742
Robbie: There's a little
crinkle there.
794
00:29:05,811 --> 00:29:07,076
Jim: Mm-hmm.
Robbie: You know...
795
00:29:07,146 --> 00:29:08,945
Jersey jon: It has some water
damage at the bottom.
796
00:29:09,014 --> 00:29:10,080
Robbie: I mean,
it's a great display piece.
797
00:29:10,148 --> 00:29:12,549
Robbie: The back has got
a little damage to it here.
798
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:14,017
The original tag's gone on it.
799
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:18,288
Jim: Hm. Make it 250 and then
I'll get over this spell.
800
00:29:18,357 --> 00:29:20,357
(laughing)
801
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:21,357
Robbie: 235.
802
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:23,293
Jim: Oh god...
803
00:29:23,361 --> 00:29:24,962
Oh, okay.
804
00:29:25,164 --> 00:29:27,030
Jim: I had never thought about
selling it, really,
805
00:29:27,098 --> 00:29:30,567
But you know, it just hit me
that, yeah, why not?
806
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:31,835
Jim: Yeah.
Robbie: Listen...
807
00:29:31,904 --> 00:29:34,504
Jim: I had great memories
of you until now.
808
00:29:34,573 --> 00:29:35,973
Robbie: I know, I know.
809
00:29:36,041 --> 00:29:37,774
Jersey jon: Listen...
Jim: Oh look at that.
810
00:29:37,843 --> 00:29:38,909
Jersey jon: I know,
I got to ask.
811
00:29:38,977 --> 00:29:40,911
Jim: That is a german-made
zeppelin toy.
812
00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:43,112
Jersey jon: Sure.
Jim: It's still in the box.
813
00:29:43,182 --> 00:29:45,048
I actually bought that in
germany, flea market in germany.
814
00:29:45,116 --> 00:29:46,983
Jersey jon: This toy
was made in pre-war germany.
815
00:29:47,052 --> 00:29:49,653
I mean, when you have
a toy in its original box,
816
00:29:49,855 --> 00:29:51,855
And it's unplayed
with condition,
817
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:54,124
It's really rare.
Another thing, this toy,
818
00:29:54,193 --> 00:29:56,526
It's a german toy, but it's got
american decoration on it.
819
00:29:56,595 --> 00:29:59,129
Jersey jon: 175 bucks.
820
00:29:59,331 --> 00:30:00,731
Jim: You know, if you'd have
said 200, I would have not even
821
00:30:00,933 --> 00:30:02,666
Had to sit down,
I would've said do it.
822
00:30:02,734 --> 00:30:03,733
Jersey jon: Yeah?
Jim: Yeah.
823
00:30:03,803 --> 00:30:05,335
Jersey jon: So we're
getting close.
824
00:30:05,403 --> 00:30:07,738
Jim: Yeah.
Jersey jon: So what's the number
in between those two?
825
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:09,339
Jim: Uh... 199?
Jersey jon: 199?
826
00:30:09,407 --> 00:30:10,540
(laughing)
827
00:30:10,609 --> 00:30:12,209
Jersey jon: 180 bucks?
828
00:30:12,411 --> 00:30:13,943
Jim: 189.
829
00:30:14,012 --> 00:30:15,279
Jersey jon: You got it, man.
Thank you, sir.
830
00:30:15,481 --> 00:30:18,949
Jim: It's yours.
Jersey jon: Jim is obviously
a high-grade collector
831
00:30:19,017 --> 00:30:20,951
Of many things.
He likes to find the best.
832
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:23,019
We all want to find
the best of our collections.
833
00:30:23,088 --> 00:30:25,154
Robbie: Man, you know
about bartholomay ice cream?
834
00:30:25,224 --> 00:30:27,824
Jim: No, tell me.
Robbie: Alright.
This is out of cleveland.
835
00:30:27,893 --> 00:30:30,027
And they actually were
a beer company.
836
00:30:30,095 --> 00:30:32,963
They made beer and one year,
they did ice cream.
837
00:30:33,032 --> 00:30:34,831
Jim: Did they do that during
prohibition, or...?
838
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:35,899
Robbie: Yeah, it was
around that time.
839
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:37,367
Robbie: They switched
over to ice cream.
840
00:30:37,436 --> 00:30:40,170
Robbie: So this is actually
only the third one
of these I've ever seen.
841
00:30:40,238 --> 00:30:42,839
Jim: Really.
Robbie: And I have one,
that's dead mint.
842
00:30:42,908 --> 00:30:44,107
Jersey jon: The winged
wheel is killer.
843
00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:45,775
Robbie: Oh, yeah.
Jersey jon: It's a great,
great graphic.
844
00:30:45,845 --> 00:30:47,043
Robbie: Yeah, that was
their trademark.
845
00:30:47,112 --> 00:30:47,711
Robbie: You know,
there's collectors out there
846
00:30:47,913 --> 00:30:49,179
That want everything pristine.
847
00:30:49,381 --> 00:30:51,982
But when you talk about rarity
level, this is a rare sign.
848
00:30:53,385 --> 00:30:54,718
Robbie: 550.
849
00:30:54,787 --> 00:30:56,987
And I'll tell you,
my dead mint one,
850
00:30:57,056 --> 00:30:59,990
I think it's probably worth
14-1,500. But that...
851
00:31:00,192 --> 00:31:03,726
As you know, jim, that right
there, really hurts that.
852
00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:04,394
Jersey jon: Yeah,
hurts it a lot.
853
00:31:04,463 --> 00:31:05,996
Jim: How about 6?
854
00:31:06,398 --> 00:31:07,931
(sighs)
855
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,465
Jim: What do you think?
Think he'll go for 6?
856
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:11,001
Jersey jon: Well...
857
00:31:12,471 --> 00:31:13,737
Robbie: 575.
858
00:31:13,939 --> 00:31:15,405
Jim: Tough guy to deal with,
isn't he?
859
00:31:15,474 --> 00:31:16,273
Jersey jon: He is.
860
00:31:16,475 --> 00:31:17,607
Robbie: It's this,
this is the whammy.
861
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:18,742
Robbie: This is the whammy.
862
00:31:18,811 --> 00:31:20,343
Jim: Yeah, I got you.
Robbie: 575?
863
00:31:20,412 --> 00:31:22,145
Jim: Alright.
864
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:24,881
Jim: It's always fun to share,
you know, your enthusiasm,
865
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:27,817
Your interest in these type
of old items.
866
00:31:27,887 --> 00:31:28,819
And then when you see
somebody else
867
00:31:29,021 --> 00:31:31,755
That's as equally
as excited about it,
868
00:31:31,957 --> 00:31:32,889
That's a lot of fun,
and that's...
869
00:31:32,958 --> 00:31:35,224
You get a real
pride and appreciation,
870
00:31:35,294 --> 00:31:36,960
Not only of what you've done
to pull these things together,
871
00:31:37,029 --> 00:31:39,896
But there's somebody
else appreciates that.
872
00:31:39,965 --> 00:31:41,899
Robbie: Alright, I got
to ask, is it local?
873
00:31:42,101 --> 00:31:44,968
Jim: Yeah, that is local,
and it's a music store
874
00:31:45,170 --> 00:31:46,903
That everybody here in town
remembers, sebring's.
875
00:31:46,972 --> 00:31:48,705
That's where you went to buy
your first 45s,
876
00:31:48,774 --> 00:31:50,707
Your first elvis record,
whatever.
877
00:31:50,776 --> 00:31:51,774
Robbie: Wow.
Jim: So, you know,
878
00:31:51,843 --> 00:31:52,976
That's something I just
can't sell
879
00:31:53,045 --> 00:31:55,979
Because it's so much
of our local history here.
880
00:31:56,048 --> 00:31:57,780
Jim: But I do have the end
piece around, the cap.
881
00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:58,782
Robbie: Oh you have
the bullnose.
882
00:31:58,851 --> 00:32:01,651
Jim: I do have,
I've got both ends.
883
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:02,786
Robbie: Would you sell the end?
884
00:32:02,855 --> 00:32:04,988
Jim: Yeah, I probably
would sell those.
885
00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:06,322
Robbie: Where are they
located at? Where are they at?
886
00:32:06,391 --> 00:32:08,992
Jim: Well, they're right over
underneath the stairway there.
887
00:32:11,864 --> 00:32:13,129
Robbie: Jim.
Jim: There's a sign.
888
00:32:13,198 --> 00:32:14,264
Jersey jon: There's a door?
Robbie: Jim. No, no, no, no.
889
00:32:14,332 --> 00:32:16,733
Hold on here. Look at this.
Jim: Yeah, this is...
890
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:18,869
Robbie: Hold on here,
hold on here.
891
00:32:19,071 --> 00:32:20,337
Jim: You want to pull
that out? That's a sign.
892
00:32:20,539 --> 00:32:22,405
Robbie: What is this?
Jim: Well, I was going to tell
you about that.
893
00:32:22,474 --> 00:32:26,009
Robbie: Are you... Oof!
Were you going to tell me
before I found it or...?
894
00:32:26,077 --> 00:32:27,610
Jim: Yeah, I forgot to.
This is an absolutely...
895
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,880
Jersey jon: A packing crate?
Robbie: I'm trying to find
a way to get through here.
896
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:31,481
Jim: It's an original
willard battery...
897
00:32:31,550 --> 00:32:32,749
Robbie: Let me see here.
898
00:32:32,818 --> 00:32:34,751
Jim: ...Sign that's twice
that size.
899
00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:36,152
There's two,
there's two sides to it.
900
00:32:36,221 --> 00:32:38,421
Robbie: Oh it says right here,
hold on, hold on, right here.
901
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:39,556
Yeah, right there...
902
00:32:39,758 --> 00:32:43,093
Robbie: It says, "vincent,
indiana, two..." uh, the...
903
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:44,828
Jim: Should be organ battery.
Robbie: Organ battery.
904
00:32:44,897 --> 00:32:47,631
Robbie: Yeah, bell number
246 or something.
905
00:32:47,699 --> 00:32:48,899
Jim: Yeah.
Robbie: Yeah.
906
00:32:49,101 --> 00:32:51,702
Robbie: From the allen-morrison
sign company,
907
00:32:51,904 --> 00:32:52,769
Lynchburg, yeah,
lynchburg, virginia.
908
00:32:52,838 --> 00:32:55,439
Robbie: And I thought to myself,
wow!
909
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:57,841
N.O.S. In the crate?
910
00:32:58,043 --> 00:33:00,577
That's the stuff that
dreams are made of.
911
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:01,845
Robbie: Here's the question,
912
00:33:02,047 --> 00:33:02,846
There's a little crack
already in the wood.
913
00:33:02,914 --> 00:33:05,115
Jim: Yeah, I see it.
Robbie: I mean,
914
00:33:05,184 --> 00:33:06,984
Before I open this thing up,
do you even want to sell it?
915
00:33:15,127 --> 00:33:16,126
Robbie: Like this piece
of wood right here, jersey,
916
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:17,927
Is broke right there.
Jersey jon: Yeah, I see that.
917
00:33:17,997 --> 00:33:18,929
Robbie: Bigger doesn't
always mean better.
918
00:33:19,131 --> 00:33:21,998
My hope is that it's
got some battery on it.
919
00:33:22,067 --> 00:33:24,468
Character signs are what
people are looking for.
920
00:33:24,536 --> 00:33:26,870
Robbie: Here's the question,
there's a little crack
already in the wood.
921
00:33:26,939 --> 00:33:29,072
Jim: Yeah, I see it, yeah.
Robbie: I mean,
922
00:33:29,274 --> 00:33:31,008
Before I open this thing up,
do you even want to sell it?
923
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:35,345
Jim: If the price is right,
uh, yeah, yeah.
924
00:33:35,547 --> 00:33:38,214
Robbie: I mean, you know,
I'm looking at, you know,
a couple of things.
925
00:33:38,283 --> 00:33:40,817
Jersey jon: Well, we got
to see what it is before
a price on it.
926
00:33:40,886 --> 00:33:42,085
Robbie: Let's see here,
hold on here.
927
00:33:42,153 --> 00:33:44,020
Jim: 'cause it's been a while
since we had it open.
928
00:33:44,089 --> 00:33:45,555
Jersey jon: Careful, robbie.
You watch that break--
929
00:33:45,623 --> 00:33:48,491
Robbie: I know, I know,
got it right there.
Dude, settle down. Yeah...
930
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,294
Jersey jon: He's like a bull
in a china shop sometimes,
I got to watch this guy.
931
00:33:51,897 --> 00:33:54,697
Jim: There we go,
there we go, there we go.
932
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:56,900
Robbie: You pry
lightly, jersey.
933
00:33:56,969 --> 00:33:57,834
Jersey jon: You ain't got
to tell me, brother.
934
00:33:57,903 --> 00:34:01,004
You want to pop it down,
yank the nail out?
935
00:34:01,907 --> 00:34:03,039
Robbie: There's...
Yeah, we could try.
936
00:34:03,108 --> 00:34:04,841
Jersey jon: See?
Robbie: There's only
one nail though.
937
00:34:04,910 --> 00:34:06,309
Robbie: You got to get
the other side.
938
00:34:06,512 --> 00:34:07,844
Jersey jon: Who told you that?
Robbie: I gotta get
the other side,
939
00:34:07,912 --> 00:34:10,013
Is what I'm saying,
the other nail.
940
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:13,984
Jersey jon: There you go,
brother.
941
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:14,851
Robbie: Is there another one?
Jersey jon: Nope.
942
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,719
Robbie: Okay, this should
then lift up.
943
00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:17,720
Jersey jon: Right.
Robbie: Right.
944
00:34:17,790 --> 00:34:18,655
Jersey jon:
Then we could see it.
945
00:34:18,724 --> 00:34:20,991
Jim: Ohh...
Robbie: Hold on...
946
00:34:21,526 --> 00:34:22,859
Jim: Oh, wow...
947
00:34:22,928 --> 00:34:26,463
Robbie: Wow, it is cool.
Willard batteries.
948
00:34:26,665 --> 00:34:28,331
Robbie: Large, in charge.
949
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,400
Jersey jon: So this is like
a billboard for the side
of a building.
950
00:34:30,469 --> 00:34:31,935
Robbie: Yeah, it was
on the side of a building,
probably an automotive.
951
00:34:32,137 --> 00:34:34,070
Jim: See, there's one up there
behind the station
952
00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:36,139
That's exactly like that
in miniature. Just like this.
953
00:34:36,207 --> 00:34:38,007
Robbie: It's a small version.
Jersey jon: Oh, I see it.
954
00:34:38,077 --> 00:34:40,010
Jim: Yeah, it's exactly
like this but small. Yeah.
955
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:42,145
Robbie: There's a nail.
Jersey jon: Self framed.
956
00:34:42,214 --> 00:34:44,147
Robbie: You could see there's
a couple of dents in there.
957
00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:46,549
Jersey jon: Yeah, there is
a couple of dents, right there.
958
00:34:46,618 --> 00:34:47,684
Jim: Right here, there's...
959
00:34:47,886 --> 00:34:49,986
Jersey jon: It's so cool it's in
the crate though, robbie.
960
00:34:51,156 --> 00:34:52,422
Man, the condition doesn't
get any better than this.
961
00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:55,758
Robbie: Well, it'd be better if
it was an embossed sign though.
962
00:34:55,828 --> 00:34:56,626
Jersey jon: Yeah.
Robbie: Money-wise.
963
00:34:56,828 --> 00:34:57,894
Jersey jon: Right.
Robbie: Jim.
964
00:34:57,962 --> 00:35:00,030
Robbie: You know.
Let's lay it back down.
965
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:02,899
Robbie: To a sign guy,
this it the holy grail.
966
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:04,834
You find it in
the original shipping crate.
967
00:35:04,903 --> 00:35:07,504
It was made by the stout
sign company.
968
00:35:07,573 --> 00:35:08,772
All the pluses are here.
969
00:35:08,974 --> 00:35:11,775
Robbie: It's self framed,
it's painted.
970
00:35:11,843 --> 00:35:14,311
It's probably around 1957,
I'd say.
971
00:35:14,379 --> 00:35:16,579
Robbie: You know, the fact that
the paint's not flaking off it,
972
00:35:16,648 --> 00:35:20,517
Jim, that's a big plus.
I was hoping that it was going
to have the battery on it.
973
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,518
Jim: Yeah.
Robbie: Um...
974
00:35:22,587 --> 00:35:24,988
$1,400.
Jim: Eee...
975
00:35:26,925 --> 00:35:28,525
Where's the chair?
Robbie: Hold him up.
976
00:35:28,727 --> 00:35:30,393
Jim: Can you bring a chair?
977
00:35:30,596 --> 00:35:32,595
Jim: Oh god... Oh...
978
00:35:32,664 --> 00:35:33,930
Jersey jon: We're losing him.
979
00:35:33,998 --> 00:35:36,066
Robbie: Don't lose you yet.
Come on, jim.
980
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:37,600
Jim: What did he say?
Jersey jon: I like this guy.
981
00:35:37,669 --> 00:35:38,802
Robbie: I said $1,400, here.
982
00:35:39,004 --> 00:35:40,537
Robbie: I think this sign's
2,000 bucks.
983
00:35:40,739 --> 00:35:42,472
And that's a retail number.
984
00:35:42,541 --> 00:35:44,941
And the reason being,
985
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:47,677
Large signs don't always
sell well. I mean, it's...
986
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:49,946
Jim: Uh, yeah that...
You know,
987
00:35:50,014 --> 00:35:52,348
I was certainly valuing it
at two or better.
988
00:35:52,417 --> 00:35:54,350
Um... Robbie.
989
00:35:54,419 --> 00:35:55,986
Uh... Give me 15.
990
00:36:01,426 --> 00:36:03,293
Robbie: 1,450.
991
00:36:03,362 --> 00:36:04,361
Jim: God...
992
00:36:04,429 --> 00:36:05,962
(chuckling)
993
00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:07,697
Robbie: I'll tell you what,
you said, here,
994
00:36:07,766 --> 00:36:09,099
Those bullnoses
that are in here?
995
00:36:09,301 --> 00:36:11,034
Jim: Yes.
Robbie: Alright. Let me
look at these things.
996
00:36:11,103 --> 00:36:13,637
Jim: Okay. Help me up, jersey,
I'm about over it now.
997
00:36:13,839 --> 00:36:15,038
(laughing)
jersey jon: Alright.
998
00:36:15,107 --> 00:36:16,305
Robbie: You got them?
Jersey jon: Yeah, I got them.
999
00:36:16,374 --> 00:36:18,308
Robbie: Alright, hold on, let me
shut this light off in here.
1000
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:20,777
Robbie: The bullnose
or the end cap,
you would want to call it,
1001
00:36:20,846 --> 00:36:22,845
Is a piece that went
on any sign.
1002
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:25,114
It was typically on
a vertical sign
1003
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:26,916
That hung off of a building,
and it was just to add
1004
00:36:26,985 --> 00:36:28,918
The value of a decorator piece
to the end.
1005
00:36:28,987 --> 00:36:31,521
When you find
the bullnoses, you buy them,
1006
00:36:31,723 --> 00:36:32,656
Because they are so rare.
1007
00:36:32,724 --> 00:36:34,924
Robbie: You got two bullnoses.
1008
00:36:34,993 --> 00:36:36,926
They're blue and white,
that's a big plus.
1009
00:36:36,995 --> 00:36:39,462
Jim: Mm-hmm.
Robbie: Ford's blue and white.
1010
00:36:39,531 --> 00:36:41,331
Robbie: Bullnoses are always
missing on every porcelain
sign, it seems like.
1011
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,799
Jim: Yeah, yeah.
1012
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:43,933
Robbie: Look at how
they did that.
1013
00:36:44,002 --> 00:36:46,469
Robbie: 1953, basically.
Jim: Hardened enamel.
1014
00:36:46,538 --> 00:36:48,071
Robbie: 3, 6, a '53.
1015
00:36:48,273 --> 00:36:51,007
This is actually etched
in the porcelain fixture, yeah.
1016
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:52,209
Robbie: Isn't that cool?
Jersey jon: Yeah. They are cool.
1017
00:36:52,411 --> 00:36:55,011
Robbie: They're porcelain.
So they could go on any sign.
1018
00:36:56,481 --> 00:36:58,014
Robbie: 2,150.
1019
00:37:00,619 --> 00:37:01,284
Jim: Let me sit down again.
1020
00:37:01,353 --> 00:37:02,752
(laughing)
1021
00:37:02,821 --> 00:37:05,989
Robbie: Man, I'm telling ya...
Wow.
1022
00:37:06,758 --> 00:37:08,090
Jim: Would you tell him that,
1023
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:10,893
Reluctantly, I'll tell him yes,
would you tell him that?
1024
00:37:10,962 --> 00:37:13,229
Jersey jon: He's going
to say yes, robbie.
1025
00:37:13,298 --> 00:37:15,699
Robbie: Oh thanks.
I appreciate ya.
Seriously. I'm loving it.
1026
00:37:15,901 --> 00:37:17,900
Jersey jon: That's great,
thank you.
1027
00:37:17,970 --> 00:37:19,369
Robbie: Dang...
Jersey jon: That was great.
1028
00:37:19,437 --> 00:37:20,636
Robbie: Wow.
1029
00:37:20,705 --> 00:37:21,304
Robbie: The museum is cool.
1030
00:37:21,373 --> 00:37:22,839
But to me,
1031
00:37:22,908 --> 00:37:24,640
This world that jim created
at his house
1032
00:37:24,709 --> 00:37:27,243
Is mind-blowing. I love it.
1033
00:37:28,046 --> 00:37:29,913
Robbie: How are you?
Jersey jon: How are you?
1034
00:37:29,981 --> 00:37:31,047
Linda: You're going to
take him with you?
1035
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:33,849
Robbie: Yeah? Oh, you want
to get rid of him that bad?
1036
00:37:33,918 --> 00:37:35,718
Linda: Yeah.
Jim: This is my wife, linda.
1037
00:37:35,787 --> 00:37:37,520
Jim: Once you become
a collector,
1038
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:38,989
You're afflicted for life.
1039
00:37:39,857 --> 00:37:42,525
And so I'm still there,
you know,
1040
00:37:42,728 --> 00:37:43,660
I'm not through collecting.
1041
00:37:43,728 --> 00:37:44,861
Jim: Hey.
Robbie: Thank you.
1042
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:46,062
Jim: Alright, alright.
Linda: Come back.
1043
00:37:46,131 --> 00:37:48,865
Jim: And... Even though
I'm selling some things now,
1044
00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:51,600
There's still things out there
that I know,
1045
00:37:51,670 --> 00:37:52,935
Wow, when I come across it,
1046
00:37:53,004 --> 00:37:55,472
I'll know that that's
something I still got
1047
00:37:55,674 --> 00:37:57,474
To put in the collection.
1048
00:37:57,676 --> 00:37:58,742
Jersey jon: Thanks, guys!
1049
00:37:58,810 --> 00:37:59,342
(horn honks)
jim: Okay, see ya.
1050
00:37:59,544 --> 00:38:01,011
Linda: Come back.
1051
00:38:05,483 --> 00:38:06,983
(upbeat music)
1052
00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:11,821
Mike: So... What are you guys
looking for us to do?
1053
00:38:11,890 --> 00:38:12,955
I mean, you're looking
for parts or what?
1054
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:15,692
Jack: Well, check out
this brochure up there.
1055
00:38:15,761 --> 00:38:16,759
Danielle, if you could
grab that.
1056
00:38:16,828 --> 00:38:19,095
Danielle: This right here?
Jack: Yes.
1057
00:38:19,164 --> 00:38:21,164
So, here's the original
brochure that this recording--
1058
00:38:21,232 --> 00:38:23,032
Danielle: Stop, this is it?
Jack: Yeah, it was in here.
1059
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:25,234
Take a look at this picture.
Danielle: This is wild.
1060
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:28,104
Jack: You can see,
there's a trailer attached
to this truck.
1061
00:38:28,173 --> 00:38:30,040
Bill: They had a generator
in there, a backup tape machine,
1062
00:38:30,242 --> 00:38:31,640
A lounge, and all the microphone
storage and everything,
1063
00:38:31,710 --> 00:38:33,843
You can see a schematic of it.
1064
00:38:33,912 --> 00:38:35,044
Mike: This is just
as elaborate as this?
1065
00:38:35,113 --> 00:38:36,112
Jack: Yes, and they made
a walkway between the two,
1066
00:38:36,181 --> 00:38:38,848
So they could go back.
Mike: Oh, like a little dog run?
1067
00:38:38,917 --> 00:38:39,849
Jack: Extra tape machine,
generator, so...
1068
00:38:39,918 --> 00:38:41,918
Bill: So it's a vital
part of this thing.
1069
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,586
And that's why we were
getting ahold of you guys.
1070
00:38:43,655 --> 00:38:45,054
Bill: We don't know where it is.
1071
00:38:45,123 --> 00:38:47,924
Jack: That's what we're
looking for. Can we find that?
1072
00:38:48,126 --> 00:38:49,993
Or if we can't find it,
can we find something--
1073
00:38:50,061 --> 00:38:50,927
Mike: Oh you're looking
for this specific one.
1074
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:52,662
Jack: Yes.
Mike: Well, is this custom-made?
1075
00:38:52,731 --> 00:38:54,464
Or is this like
mass-produced?
1076
00:38:54,666 --> 00:38:55,532
Bill: It's custom-made.
1077
00:38:55,734 --> 00:38:56,733
Mike: Oh, just that little
trailer's custom-made.
1078
00:38:56,935 --> 00:38:57,667
Danielle: So there's
only one of them.
1079
00:38:57,869 --> 00:38:59,135
Bill: Only one.
Danielle: So...
1080
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:01,671
Jack: It may not exist anymore,
but we gotta say we looked.
1081
00:39:01,873 --> 00:39:03,272
You know, we gotta
at least try.
1082
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,141
Jack: And if we don't,
then we're looking
to getting something
1083
00:39:05,210 --> 00:39:07,610
That looks like it, or maybe
even build one from scratch.
1084
00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:09,145
Mike: It's a tall order, dude.
1085
00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:13,349
I mean, it's a lot to take in,
to be honest with you, it's...
1086
00:39:13,418 --> 00:39:15,151
Jack: Can you imagine if it
came back to life
and was working again,
1087
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,953
And you know, new bands,
modern bands could
record through it?
1088
00:39:18,022 --> 00:39:19,355
Mike: To be a part of that...
Danielle: Yeah.
1089
00:39:19,424 --> 00:39:22,425
Mike: So if you've talked
to people that were
associated with it...
1090
00:39:22,493 --> 00:39:25,094
Bill: Mm-hmm.
Mike: Have you chased down any
leads with the trailer?
1091
00:39:25,163 --> 00:39:27,096
Have you talked to anybody
that actually remembers that?
1092
00:39:27,165 --> 00:39:29,965
Bill: No, because it all
disappeared in the late '70s.
1093
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:32,835
It moved down to florida,
and the truck retired,
1094
00:39:32,904 --> 00:39:34,103
And then everybody
just lost track of it.
1095
00:39:34,172 --> 00:39:36,572
Bill: And it sat--
mike: And you got it
out of ohio.
1096
00:39:36,641 --> 00:39:37,973
Bill: I got it out of ohio.
1097
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:39,575
Mike: So the trailer could
be in ohio too then.
1098
00:39:39,644 --> 00:39:40,910
Bill: It could be in ohio.
1099
00:39:41,112 --> 00:39:43,179
Mike: I mean, there's forums,
there's websites,
1100
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:45,582
Like tin can tourist, that are
connected with travel trailers.
1101
00:39:45,784 --> 00:39:47,984
We could post photos and then,
1102
00:39:48,186 --> 00:39:50,120
I have a really big
collector friend in california,
1103
00:39:50,322 --> 00:39:53,656
That like, he has trailers that
airstream doesn't even have.
1104
00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:55,258
I mean, he's got the prototypes.
1105
00:39:55,326 --> 00:39:57,660
Here, you want to look at it?
Danielle: You guys are reviving
1106
00:39:57,728 --> 00:39:59,195
Some serious music history here.
1107
00:39:59,264 --> 00:40:02,131
Jack: We had dealt with mike
and antique archaeology before.
1108
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,667
And I loved the way that mike
can appreciate history,
1109
00:40:04,870 --> 00:40:06,802
Whether it's motorcycles
or signage
1110
00:40:06,871 --> 00:40:08,537
Or antique mechanics
of any kind.
1111
00:40:08,606 --> 00:40:12,141
So I knew that he would
understand the beauty
of this truck on its own.
1112
00:40:12,210 --> 00:40:13,810
The thing I like
about this truck,
is it's a romantic way
1113
00:40:13,879 --> 00:40:16,679
For people to experience
recording music
1114
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,282
In a way that can kind
of inspire them and do something
they wouldn't normally do.
1115
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:22,618
By embracing the historical
things that worked in the past,
1116
00:40:22,687 --> 00:40:23,953
That were soulful and beautiful.
1117
00:40:24,021 --> 00:40:26,089
Mike: I wanna sit
in the front of this thing.
1118
00:40:26,157 --> 00:40:27,891
I mean, now that I know
it recorded all these bands,
1119
00:40:28,093 --> 00:40:29,759
It's like, I want to sit
in the captain's chair.
1120
00:40:29,961 --> 00:40:31,627
Danielle: And recorded
seger too, man.
1121
00:40:31,696 --> 00:40:32,829
Danielle: Ugh... Wait for me!
1122
00:40:33,031 --> 00:40:35,698
Jack: Get in there.
Mike: Alright... Woo!
1123
00:40:35,767 --> 00:40:38,367
Bill: So this is
a 1969 chevy p-30.
1124
00:40:38,437 --> 00:40:40,302
(engine starts)
1125
00:40:40,371 --> 00:40:41,637
Mike: Woo!
1126
00:40:41,706 --> 00:40:43,840
Bill: That sounds like a 350.
1127
00:40:43,909 --> 00:40:46,109
It's like a hot rod,
a recording studio,
1128
00:40:46,177 --> 00:40:47,910
And a taco truck all in one.
Danielle: That's so cool!
1129
00:40:47,979 --> 00:40:49,579
Mike: You guys are
halfway there, it runs.
1130
00:40:49,647 --> 00:40:50,713
Bill: Yeah, totally runs.
1131
00:40:50,916 --> 00:40:51,981
And luckily,
we got an aluminum body.
1132
00:40:52,050 --> 00:40:53,850
Bill: Because if it was
the steel bodied version,
1133
00:40:53,919 --> 00:40:56,118
It could have been
completely gone by now.
1134
00:40:56,188 --> 00:40:57,786
Jack: You gotta get in there
and sit down at the desk too.
1135
00:40:57,856 --> 00:40:59,989
Mike: Yeah dani,
sit down up here, man.
1136
00:41:00,057 --> 00:41:01,524
Danielle: Yeah, I'm gonna
sit in the back of this.
1137
00:41:01,726 --> 00:41:04,126
Mike: Have you gone through
any of this stuff,
like the motherboard and stuff,
1138
00:41:04,196 --> 00:41:05,662
And kind of just checked out
what you have in regards to...
1139
00:41:05,864 --> 00:41:06,996
Bill: I've looked
through it, yeah.
1140
00:41:07,065 --> 00:41:09,798
Like the power can come on
to the mixing console.
1141
00:41:09,868 --> 00:41:11,067
Mike: Wow.
Bill: It totally turns on.
1142
00:41:11,135 --> 00:41:13,202
And we can pass audio through
this and listen in.
1143
00:41:13,271 --> 00:41:15,738
Mike: Alright, man.
Danielle: Yeah.
I'm stoked to do this.
1144
00:41:15,807 --> 00:41:17,206
It's an honor,
I'm super thrilled.
1145
00:41:17,275 --> 00:41:18,808
Jack: Thank you so much.
Danielle: Thank you
for reaching out.
1146
00:41:18,877 --> 00:41:20,142
Bill: Yeah well thanks
for coming out.
1147
00:41:20,212 --> 00:41:21,944
Danielle: I'm on it. Yeah.
Mike: Alright man, let's do it.
1148
00:41:22,013 --> 00:41:23,546
Danielle: My brain's
already like, ch-ch-ch!
1149
00:41:23,748 --> 00:41:25,081
Mike: Alright, I'm excited!
1150
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:27,483
Mike: Jack's passion
for this project is contagious.
1151
00:41:27,552 --> 00:41:29,018
It's a tall order.
1152
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:30,820
But when you think about
what this vehicle has done,
1153
00:41:30,888 --> 00:41:32,621
I'm honored to be
connected to it,
1154
00:41:32,690 --> 00:41:34,890
Because this is a big deal.
1155
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:36,625
Mike: Man, oh my gosh.
That's pretty cool.
1156
00:41:36,694 --> 00:41:38,828
Danielle: It's pretty, right?
1157
00:41:38,896 --> 00:41:39,762
Mike: Yeah. I think what
we need to do
1158
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:41,430
Is we need to get
ahold of emily.
1159
00:41:41,499 --> 00:41:43,900
Danielle: Right.
Mike: And then, we for sure
need to get ahold of vince,
1160
00:41:43,968 --> 00:41:45,968
Because he knows every
trailer collector.
1161
00:41:46,037 --> 00:41:47,836
I mean, I think we know
enough people to like,
1162
00:41:47,906 --> 00:41:50,039
Actually get to the point
where, you know,
1163
00:41:50,107 --> 00:41:52,508
At least we can give them
some sort of an answer.
1164
00:41:52,577 --> 00:41:54,844
Danielle: I feel positive.
Mike: But hey, freakin'
wonder-twin powers, baby!
1165
00:41:54,913 --> 00:41:58,014
Danielle: Dude, right? Activate!
