How much money do you want for that radio right now? I don't care much
for auctions where the prices keep going up.I don't do ebay
either,although I can if I want to.I get regular auction links from
www.nationalauctionlist.com if fact,I got one today in my email
inbox,I get them several times each week.

Electrons flow from - to +.

A capacitor stores charge in an electrostatic field between 2 plates
separated by a dielectric. A capacitor passes AC but blocks DC. An
inductor stores charge in a magnetic field. An inductor passes DC but
blocks AC.

A diode passes DC in one direction only (cathode to anode).

Resonance is when the capacitive reactance and the inductive reactance
are equal.

**** flows downhill.

If you work on radios,you better be sure them capacitors are drained
down fist or they will knock the crap out of you.
