Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

Icon_clap Icon_clap Icon_clap Congratulations ! It sure is satisfying to listen to one of these radios one has restored once again, and when ya need a battery, to listen to it on one you made for it yourself.
