Thanks Charlie.
I checked out the thread on DIY, but you're not getting your questions answered. 
I wish I could help. I assume you've posted only on the one Ripole thread that's been going for a few years?

I've started my own Ripole build. The thread is > HERE <.
I've also linked your thread (this one) on mine, so hopefully anybody interested and knowledgable of Ripoles will be able to find them easily.
Not too many fellas well versed with Ripole design. (I'm not one of them)

I couldn't imagine being 2nd row, center to Cosmic Hippo. 
Would have been great to hear that concert.

Based on your avatar, we look about the same age. Where 'bouts did you live?

Hi Bob,
I'm 57 and I remember hitch hicking from Macon, GA to St. Louis back in my hippie days (1975). I floated around many places there:  South County, Kirkwood, Afton, Florissant (did I spelll that right?) and later lived on a commune called "the farm" (not the one in TN) about 50 mi south of St. Louis in Potosi, MO.  I remember the great architecture of Washington University and the night I had dinner at the Bevo Mill (wondering if it's still there).  I'm following your Ripole sub project with great interest... can't wait to hear your impressions 
Charlie

Wow. You've seen more of STL then I have. 
Yes, you spelling it correctly, and Bevo is still there (last I checked).

I can't wait to get the Ripole fired up, that's gonna be cool.
