Hello TN327,

Welcome to the the forum.

Cool name. A small block Chevy 327 is one of my favourite hot rod engines. 

East TN? Is that anywhere near Toronto, Canada?

I wonder how many are old guys like me (78) getting old kit working and modernising (ARC PRO)?

Not me! Firmly stuck in the 60s/70s analogue and find my general dislike of anything that smacks of electrickery puts the very idea of digital at the bottom of my list. I have to use transistors in computers of course but valve amps live around here for music (headphone amp only as I'm a deaf old git.)

I too, am 78 years old and feeling every one of them.

Analog here and 58
I just got an ARC one for lap timing. 
Also I have a pacer in the track. 
Good fun chasing myself.
