Good post. It's nice to read a bit of that company's history. There must
be some silicon type replacements for the rectifier, no?

Yes, of course. Any ordinary silicon bridge rectifier in DIP will do
just fine (and, given it's totally oversized for 9.8 V ~ and about 100
mA, should do its job for a loooooong time). At least this experience
has expanded my list of potentially critical (read: best replaced)
components in old radios to (a) paper caps and electrolytics and (b)
selenium rectifiers. Now all I need is a *decent* soldering iron and the
tube radio that should hopefully arrive within the next few days / weeks
/ eternities - though the Grundig Signal 700 could use some service as
well (some humming, switches with contact probs and such - it's 30 years
old after all and has probably never undergone servicing).

Nonsense. For the price ($60 shipped), it's a great radio. Great
sound, easy to use, plays for weeks on a set of batteries.

Dan, It's not nonsense. It's a well formulated opinion based on a
very real observation by Martin. And it's a view held by others in
the group. Everything is black and white to you Dan. It's no wonder
you make a great Republican.

Nope.

I know it must be hard for you, as it is for 'tards all over the world.

Maybe Kerry has a 'plan' for the 'tards.

Now, now. I hope we aren't suggesting that Democrats are better at
seeing things in shades of gray than Republicans. That would seem to
be a rather "black and white" comment.
