Michael Coslo writes: 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. :-) bill KB3YV -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n. Three wolves | and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
