    Not really, but a few features are gonna be down today. I am rebuilding the search index, so things like search, "your content," etc... are gonna act funny for a day or two. Be patient with me and I'll have it back up and running in no time.

    I ran an on-line computer company from 1976 through 2010 and know what you're going through. The early years especially were a real challenge because the hardware was very unreliable. Keep at it; you'll get it.

    For those who haven't been a member of the Hamb for a couple of decades, it is not common to have problem with the site, but when they happen the Boss rolls up his sleeves and gets to work, The Atomic Network probably experiences more traffic than most and he puts his heart and soul into keeping it that way.

    I can say in all honesty due to the hard work Ryan and his moderators have continued to build this site into what it is today.

    Thank you Sir for your dedication. HRP

    While you guys are waiting on me to fix this damned thing, you could always go out in the world and find me a decent Harman Collins Magneto. I'm on the hunt.

    Here's a valid question... How comes everyone calls them Harmon-Collins when it is very clearly Harman & Collins?

    I still haven’t seen anything broken everything seems fine to me. Maybe I’m broken and don’t know it. Usually when a site is broken nothing works.
    Thank you

    A couple weeks ago I stopped by parts store and bought some plugs and they were listed as freeze plugs. I’ll bet in Wisconsin if I asked for welch plugs the counter guy would be lost. Lol

    "Harman & Collins magneto".
    Rolls right off the tongue.
    One of the old time hot rod components that elicits such reverence. Almost to the point of being mysterious. At least from my perspective. Hope you find one, Ryan.

    Btw... The HAMB is probably one of the more reliable things in my life.

    Only the two on eBay.

    One is missing the cap, but is way cheaper.
