Idea for a new Phorum : DX Log

[TA Forbes]

The 655 is definitely on my short list of wanted sets. I envy your ability to restore chassis to like new condition!!!!

Tonight is Voice of Russia on 31M band on my AK 708. Lots of T'storms in the local area make for a fair amount of interference. Modern SW broadcast from Russia is so much better than the old Radio Moscow propaganda that was broadcast during the cold war.

I spent a few hours today working on my Philco 112, mainly re-stuffing the filter cap can. I have all the caps replaced and installed on the bottom lid where the electrical connectors are, but still have not gotten the original caps/gunk out of the can itself. I left it out in the sun for a better part of the afternoon, but most of the gunk still resides in the can. Tomorrow the can gets soaked in mineral sperits.

I would have my ex mother in law give the can her "evil eye" to melt the gunk out, but the last time I did that it backfired and the object I had her look at turned to stone.......
