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

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

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.
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.

"Memories..." Yikes, you

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 ?
