… and remembering those three brave men aboard Apollo XI who dared to risk their lives to fulfill that most awesome achievement for Humankind. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, true heroes. I will never forget the thrill, excitement and awe...

. . . (aside from a NASA-issued 105.012, of course!) would be the A.C.P. This example . . . . . . was posted by Anotol a few years back. Why the A.C.P.? Because the dial was made especially for a private group of auto enthusiasts in Peru. Our So Cal alpha...
The ACP marked are truly scarce and coveted pieces indeed…

… dear Art! That would be a great choice indeed. Of course I would also love to own a NASA issued example. But I feel it would be an out of my reach financial possibility and probably an invitation to an FBI visit! Lol! Cheers! Abel

Thank you so much for your comments…

… and interesting info about film and podcasts Jay! I can well understand you. I was 20 years old in July 1969 and as most people received those images and news in newspapers and TV with awe and admiration. It was an engineering miracle and a mix of scien...
