9 - 12 hours to go before closing (depending on their coastal definition of midnight)...this has been a hilarious contest. You could sign me up for the "Radical Receiver 2150" as well ... the "Rectal Rumbler 2150" I find kinda disturbing/interesting at the same time Good luck everyone!

PS. Accidentally put the contest onto page three too!

OK, since pretty much everything has been taken I will say it will be some type of "radio relay" type of device. Something along the lines of listening to music from your computer in your living room without wires. Lame, I know but I can't say a receiver or anything retro since those have been taken.

On the other hand, if this is it, here
I will take two. Those will look sweet in my rack and I am not even from Toronto.

I'm still convinced it's an aircraft carrier, no matter what you folks say.

No, it'll be the RetroRemote. Inspired by old ship's mechanical telegraphs, it'll let you "Ring Up" the main stereo room, precisely indicating your desired source and volume, and awaiting visual confirmation that your every command has been answered. 21 will be the number of possible source options (allowing for track/chapter info from various sources, as well as tuner presets) with 50 discrete volume steps. A truly universal system, this device will work with any brand of audio gear, and since you'll need to hire and train someone to stand by the stereo room indicators and actually push the buttons on your gear, it's the type of "learning" remote you'll never outgrow (crew upgrades may be required).

Okay heres my answer. The RR2150 is really Outlaw's new Rainbow Replicator 2150. That's right, Outlaw has finally listened and produced a budget DLP projector for everyone. This projector will have a brightness rating of 1000 lumens and a contrast ratio of 2150:1. However, in order to make the projector meet its price range of only $1000, some major compromises had to be made. In this case, it would be the color wheel which spins at simply 1X speed, causing the general viewer to see rainbows along with their favorite DVD. However, when you tell your friends how cheaply you bought this projector, they'll be sure to try and ignore the rainbows too!

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever as to what the RR2150 might be.

Wild a**ed guess ... real-time radio recorder? For timeshifting and pausing live radio broadcasts like Tivo & ReplayTV do for video sources? Highly unlikely, and I think too late to be a valid contest entry (I think the first page said something about 5/31 being the cut off?).

I think someone suggested "retro reactor"? Or something like that? New, nuclear powered amp. I like it. They should get a prize!

Well, it was 6/4, but you missed that by 9 hours.

Maybe the nice folks at Outlaw will include your entry, too. Technically, the 9/4 deadline was only so that you couldn't submit an entry after the product wasn't announced, and as far as I know, it hasn't been announced yet.

Jeff

What is it, What is it, What is it!?!?

Ok, now that I have that out of my system. Anyone who has returned from the Home Theatre Expo, drop us a post with the info.

Please note that RR 2150 contest is over and we have locked this thread to prevent further entries.

News about the RR 2150 will be available this weekend in the latest edition of the Outlaw Newsletter, and we'll contact the winners in mid-June.

Please note that further discussion on the RR 2150 should take place in the Saloon room devoted to that topic.
