Does anyone know anything about wine dispensers? I just bought an antique and I was hoping to get it working.


I was hoping to get some help. I just purchased an antique wine dispenser. I have no idea how old it is, or ow it works. I bought it for its looks, but if I could get it to work it would be amazing. All of the electrical/plumbing/refrigeration devices seem to be there. It is an Ellis Wine Dispenser manufactured by Golden West Equipment Inc.

Model: Super 2
Serial Code: 2-222

Please let me know if you know anything about this. Thank you for your help.

Matt

the only thing i can find is below, and its not that helpful, but might be a start, the only other suggestion i would make is contact some of the specialist auction houses in the UK, and ask anyone in the field of breweryana

Gibson Super Dove Acoustic-Electric Guitar Antique Natural


Gibson Super Dove Acoustic-Electric Guitar Antique Natural


$3899


The Gibson Super Dove Acoustic-Electric Guitar combines the comfort of a semi-hollowbody guitar with huge acoustic sound and high-quality Fishman electronics for a playing experience like no other!Crown Peghead LogoGibson put the first crown peghead logo on an ES-300 back in 1940, and it has graced the headstocks of many legendary Gibson guitars ever sinceincluding today's Super Dove Acoustic Electric Guitar. Over the years, it has also been called a "thistle" because of the group of flowering plants with the sharp prickles, though Gibson has preferred to call it a "crown."Body Tonewoods (back, sides and top)The top of the Gibson Super Dove Guitar is made from beautiful AAA-grade Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are constructed from AAA-grade Eastern curly maple, giving the Super Dove all the deep, rich tone, clarity and presence expected from a Gibson Super Jumbo. Selecting the right wood, and the formula to dry it out, are two of the most central procedures to Gibson's guitar-building process. Beginning with its first catalog in 1903, Gibson has assured its customers that every guitar would be built using woods with "the most durable, elastic, and sonorous qualities," and today's guitars from Gibson Acoustic are no different.Tapered Dovetail Neck JointThis Gibson guitar's dovetail neck joint is one of the oldestand bestways of securely joining the neck to the body of a guitar. It is also a complex and expensive neck joint to build, but the result is a tight, locking connection that supports the neck at the proper neck-pitch angle, allowing the body and neck to become one solid piece of resonating wood, with no metal to impede vibration. This process is done entirely by hand, requiring patience and skill.Ebony Fingerboard with Rolled EdgesThe fingerboard of Gibson's Super Dove is constructed from the high-grade ebony, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled experts before it enters the Gibson factories. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite. The fingerboard also sports a rolled edge instead of the usual right angle where the fingerboard surface meets the neck, Gibson Acoustics' rolled edge is slightly beveled for an extremely smooth and comfortable feel, enhancing the playability of the Super Dove Acoustic Electric Guitar.Fishman Aura Pro Acoustic Pickup SystemGibson's Super Dove comes equipped with a built-in Fishman Aura Pro, featuring Fishman's popular Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology. This ground-breaking pickup system reproduces the natural sound of the Super Dove as miked in a professional studio, and onstage, thus eliminating the complicated setups of expensive microphones. Aura Pro uses digital algorithms to create images of various microphones' captured sounds. Players can then blend these images with an acoustic guitar's pickup to produce an immediate and dramatic improvement in amplified

Super Delegates?

Democrats call themselves the Democratic party; however, their concept of Super Delegates are anything but democratic! The party’s nominating process is at odds with grass-roots democracy. Voters don’t choose the 842 unpledged “super-delegates” who comprise nearly 40 percent of the number of delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination. And who are these delegates going to vote for? Hillary or the Barack-star?

The category of "super delegates" includes Democratic governors and members of Congress, former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, former vice president Al Gore, retired congressional leaders such as Dick Gephardt, and all Democratic National Committee members, some of whom are appointed by party chairman Howard Dean. Howard Dean?

Who came up with this format?

The wild card for the Democrats involves the super delegates. They are free to support any candidate they choose at the national convention, regardless of the outcome of the primaries. The AP has interviewed more than 90 percent of the superdelegates who have been identified by the party, and most have yet to endorse a candidate. Many say they will not make endorsements until after their states vote.

Sounds like a brokered convention to me!

Four years ago, Sen. John Kerry clinched the Democratic nomination on March 2 - the earliest date in modern times - with a string of Super Tuesday primary victories. In 2000, George W. Bush and Al Gore both clinched their parties' nominations on March 14, each sweeping a string of Southern primaries that day.

In a clear attempt to protect the party establishment, this undemocratic infrastructure was created following George McGovern’s landslide defeat in 1972. It was designed to prevent a nominee who was “out of sync with the rest of the party,” or a “sort of safety valve.” In other words, if the party thugs don't like what the democratic party process produces, they can override the popular vote from all the primaries which will have then been for naught. So who cares about the South Carolina primary this Saturday?

This is democracy?

I'm sure that whatever the name of the third party that Michael Bloomberg starts won't have to worry about such antiquated and un-democratic rules.

In 1988, Reverend Jesse Jackson (wanting the Martin Luther King, Jr. baton) challenged the notion that these appointed delegates be permitted to vote for the candidate of their choosing rather than the winner of the state’s caucus or primary. He was right to do so. Twenty years later, when the word “change” is being bandied about, isn’t it time for the Democratic Party to give real meaning to the word? Strengthen our democracy by reforming the super-delegate system so that the people, not the party establishment, choose their candidate.
