I do not agree with Santa, I have had that Beer! I have the same set, it will sound nice when done. The radio performs pretty well too. A nice big shiny case once polished up. I enjoyed the show.

Enjoyable video as always.  If you had to do it all over would you buy Evapo-Rust again or just stick with Naval Jelly?  Loved that joke!!!!

I was watching your Mash-Mish I video and loved that FINDEX computer.  I take it that was geared mostly toward word processing?  I'd love to see a video of you restoring that guy.  Link to the Mash-Mish I video:

I will someday attempt to restore that Findex..It ran basic programs and others, but I don't have any software for it...maybe a boot-up disk and game disc....but where is it????..lol

Enjoyed the video Buzz!

If you can find the old formula Brasso (metal can) it works better than the new formula (plastic bottle), but since Dickel is doing all the work it doesn't matter too much Icon_wink

Dickel did a good job polishing your cabinet, but his run for prez will get derailed when they look in his closet and find all those skeletons Icon_wink 

Nice job on that volume control Buzz!  Is Evapo-Rust non-toxic?  Is that one benefit over Naval Jelly?
