Outlaw Saloon Links Reference Page
Last Updated 10/12/2004
Looking for someplace to find good do-it-yourself speaker sites? Need to find some obscure device code for the Model 1050's remote? Don't know what meter to get from Radio Shack to calibrate your system, or where to find the Video Essentials or AVIA setup discs? The "gunslingers" in the Outlaw Saloon forum have posted a lot of good links, but it's easy to lose them in old posts. Below is a collection of those links; it will be updated and pruned from time to time. (That's the plan, at least.)
