We don't find anything Tiki, but as I look at the computer section, I come across an HP Oscilloscope from the 1960's. I ask Dale if she wants to see an Oscilloscope, and she comes over and says, I don't know what it is, but it would make a great coffee table base...just put a piece of glass on top. Of course! She's a genius. Look at this: This thing supposedly is still operational, and it even came with a manual (dated May 3, 1963). The price? $20! Of course it doesn't fit the Tiki theme, but it would be great in a mid century "futuristic" room. Pretty cool for 20 bucks, I think. Ran
