Thread: 1970s Disco Floor

  1. #1

    Default 1970s Disco Floor

    Has anyone though about making a 1970s disco fever dance floor? Some friends had a party recently with a 70's theme. Didn't get around to making the dance floor.

    Hi and Merry Christmas to everyone.
    I am new to the board and had to laugh when I saw this post. I designed and bulit sound sysstems back in the late 70s and early 80s, and yes I have built those dance floors. ( Soap Factory in palisades n.j.). I am already gearing up for next year and I hope I can contibute to this board and also build a good display for next year. Got my alegro chipps thru my sound company for free and I'm building grinch and 16 ssrs. I can already see I'm going to need another one. Hope my wife understands. (love you honey) I love Christmas!!!

    Thanks AI,

    I just found that fourm. I already got the technical end down. That useally comes pretty easy for me. Now it's the plan. I need to learn the software and build all the boards. I've already built 14 minni trees for this year. My wife loves them. I want to do a nice megatree sort of like wayne's. 12' . I have a plan in my head so I got to put it down on paper and start building. We'll see what happens.

    Some college students designed and built one, they ended up starting a company and selling it.
