You have a problem - you do not have enough radios that need repair. In
short, you have not done your part to rescue old radios.

Once you have a pile of old radios that do not work, because someone twisted
all the if adjustments until they failed, or used Windex to clean all the
lettering off the dial, you will not have enough time to recap a radio that
is working fine.

In fact, you will not even have room on your bench for a working radio, nor
have time to enjoy them.

What the hell are you talking about? I have two old radios that I
recapped: an S-38 and an HE-10. I was told by several boatanchor
owners that this particular Hammarlund would not need a recap as most
of them were ceramic disk with no black beauties. What are you on?
This sounds like some rant against the man? I just wanted good radio
advice!


You also need to examine your sense of humor level. It appear to be low.

Truly.

Is there any one of us that hasn't noticed that collecting old radios is an
insatiable hunger. We are always trying to re-find the excitement we got when
we found the first gem we longed for... But alas, you can be a virgin only once.

Not at all. There is your first ARC-5 set, your first GRR-9, your first
Racal.

Hell, every time I open up the R-390 and look inside, I feel like someone
has just taken my virginity...
