Wow, an accomplished fellow for sure. On his home page I can see one big
difference between him and me. He apparently could put the stuff he tore
apart back together at the age of six. It took me until around 15 to do
that. I was grounded a lot as a kid until my grandfather started
shipping old radios that I was supposed to take apart. ;^)


I repaired my first radio at the age of 9. It was a desktop Philco
with Standard Broadcast :-) and Short Wave. I used it all thru my
youth to listen to the likes of "The Lone Ranger", "The Shadow",
"Your's Truly, Johnny Dollar" and "Big John and Sparky". I just
collected it from my parents house. You know what, that same component
has gone bad. You just can't get quality, I guess. That electrolytic
only lasted 48 years. Wonder where I can find another one so I can
fix it again. :-)
