Jerry,

The "Bell-o-tron" uses 87 octane (for economy) ... and tuned pipes (of 
course). The name comes from the verb "bellow," as in, make a loud noise.

The pull starter handle is mounted where the old on-off switch used to be. 
This will be the first tape playback machine with a throttle.

Last weekend I recorded one of the few transvestite progressive barbershop quartets in Sweden, " the tubular Belles ". They do a wicked version of Arnold Layne.

Sorry....couldn´t resist...
