I'll put together some instructions tonight and upload the PDFs somewhere after that. I checked and it's a few more than 3 or 4 pages. My memory is falling apart from sniffing all the glue involved in this thing, obviously.

next project: tiny model of a 3-story tower records ca. 1995, complete with escalator, metal detectors, and classical-music room separated from the rabble by thick glass.

Six inch tall version of me thumbing through all the UK magazines in the basement of the Toronto location.

classical-music room separated from the rabble by thick glass.
haha, yeah. actually i think the Jazz room had that, too -- at least, the one at Belden and Clark in Chicago did, I'm pretty sure

yeah, it did.

RIP
xp Not only did the jazz room at the Tower in Chicago have rabble-proof glass, but the "Pop/Vocal/Easy Listening" room had it, too. The latter was where I found Ray Charles, after looking through every other possible section for about an hour.
