Very tempting!

Saltwater is hard on vintage electronic components.

Maybe we need a Vintage HIWATT Bikini Team?

In other words, you're ruling out Hylight and Biacrown era bikinis? Interesting turnaround for our host ;) .

I know of a place with a similar view - and 5 bedrooms, if we're looking to host a south-of-the-border convention:

Problem is, often times bikinis give way to monokinis down there. I'd hate for anyone to be offended :mrgreen: ...

P.S. Don't worry, MikeB. - I promise to remain fully covered. I'll even wear a hat, so as not to blind anyone 8) .

Now all we need is a tasty graphic for VHC IV (time to get creative again, Mikhailwatt ;) ).

P.S. For reference, the VHC III graphic:

No worries... we'll be all over that like a size M on Mike B. :wink: :D

And we'll be sure to use Hylights in any graphics this time. Doh!

Suggestions welcome!

I'm thinking only a few of us could support FOUR stacks wide on a t-shirt (and we know who we are ;) ).

How about doing the Roman Numeral "IV" in Hiwatt badge font, superimposed over a stack / half stack? Or, four heads stacked? Know anyone with a DR405? We could stack the four sizes/wattages?

If anything really creative occurs to me, you'll be the first to know!

Right now there is still a 405, 201, 103 and 504 here that I could stack for a pic. but I would have to go back to the office to bring out the 405. It would be nearly as easy to take the 201, 103 and 504 to it!

I like the halfstack idea with a roman numeral IV in the Grille.

I had a thought about doing something around a "4-holer" theme... not sure if it's going anywhere... it's not a feature unique to Hylight. :?

A CP103 4-hole layout might be more unique :?: .

EDIT: Courtesy of the good Doctor's CP103:

Perhaps something as simple as a cable plugged into input 4 ?
