I moved to Minneapolis a couple of months ago due to a new job. Last night when I was out hanging with a friend, I discovered this old Soundmaster at the corner of University Ave & 40th in Columbia Heights...

We've known of this for a long time. It's still pretty cool, though.

Re: Soundmaster in MN
I apologize for bumping an old thread (finally getting around to reading them!):
Columbia Heights has (2) Soundmaster 115's, which many people know about. A while back, I created a thread about Gibbon, MN's Soundmaster 125. As far as I know, it's still in service, mounted on their water tower. I'll have to send them an email (if they have one) or a letter to inquire.
Not sure if you all were familiar with that one. VERY few of those in the wild--the only other one I'm familiar with is one mounted (I think) at a state park in Iowa.

Re: Soundmaster in MN
There are a few Soundmaster 125's on this site including the one you mentioned: http://www.atomictheater.com/iowasoundmaster.htm.Thunderboltlover wrote:Not sure if you all were familiar with that one.

Re: Soundmaster in MN
Always good to see something informative added to these threads...Has anyone gotten a video of the ones that rotate yet? Not to venture off topic, just figured while it was open I'd ask.

Re: Soundmaster in MN
I've searched all over YouTube, and there aren't any rotating SoundMaster videos. The only SoundMaster videos are of the non-rotational models, and there is a crap load of synths.MattDean1003 wrote:Always good to see something informative added to these threads...Has anyone gotten a video of the ones that rotate yet?
