What has happened to the _REAL_ radio amateur who understands the
innards
of his equipment to some depth and will maintian it himself?

Gone the same way as the mechanic with his dwell meter and feeler
gauges...its progress I'm afraid.


I have all that old gear including colourtune.....you never know when you
might need them ....


Gosh! ColourTune - I've got one of those which has lain unused since 1984
when
I got my first brand-new car since when I've paid for servicing and
repairs!


Shocking and you a technical home brewer chap as well


Also grease gun, and rubber tube and glass jamjar to bleed the brakes.


I still need my grease gun as all three mustangs had/have nipples .......

Also a strobe light to pick out TDC!
