???????question of the day??????????
before people say anything, I meant put hardware like washers, screws
and small knobs in the pill containers, not the board or case itself !! |
wrote in message oups.com... How do people lose a knob on their radio ???????? many times on ebay you will see someone selling a radio with an original knob missing. if the radio is a desktop unit, how did the knob get lost ?????????? Somewhere under the ocean in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle are the missing knobs from rigs from around the world. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC Frontenac, KS http://www.geocities.com/n2uhc |
Oh I forgot one --- While disassembled for repair --- put all the parts
(including the tuning knob) into muffin tins - (I did good)! Wife wanted to make muffins - so scooped it all up -- tossed em in the garage and yep you guessed it -- the tuning knob and several other parts -- just vanished to the Bermuda triangle as some one noted. (She did bad) Sidenote -- I once built a Heathkit color TV set with a zillion parts -- took 25 muffin tins -- hi hi Bought two more tins for the wife in case she wanted to make muffins during the two months it took to build the Heathkit. Great set BTW. Case closed "Caveat Lector" wrote in message news:RvtOd.29870$xt.27962@fed1read07... Answer to the missing knob 1. It cracked - tossed it out 2. While disassembled for repair the dog ate it (happened to me) 3. While disassembled for repair the kids stole it - disappeared forever (happened to me) 4. No one ever disassembled a radio for repair -- and could find all the parts (happened to me) 5. The wife got tired of that mess on the kitchen table -- scooped it all up -- knob fell into heating vent. (happened to me) 6. Bought a used rig -- some idiot replaced the original with his favorite spinner 7. Disassembled radio in garage -- delayed project -- came back a year later and the knob walked away, never to be seen again 8. Oppps - hit it with the soldering iron 9. The set screw(s) got stripped -- need a new one 10. The shiny insert fell off - disappeared -- need a new one. 11. Bought a garage sale boatanchor -- knob missing -- need a new one Guess Folks are just plain careless -- Caveat Lector (Reader Beware) Help The New Hams Someone Helped You Or did You Forget That ? wrote in message oups.com... this is a serious question that I have wondered about for a while and don't have a good answer.

I don't think I'd have the patience for that. Didn't Heathkit once make a kit to build an entire airplane, too?

If I recall correctly it was a Heath Parasol

Jackie The Heathkit color TV kits were actually very cool. They had features you couldn't get in a production model such as a hinged chassis that could be opened for easy access. They also had self diagnosis circuitry that would help to troubleshoot a problem. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I'm not sure but I think it stems from he fact that many people posting here have long since had the knobs and wheels fall off their mental processes. Does that include the author of the above statement? :-) ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
