19LZ Chairside DONE!!
#5

Not Mario?? No, he's from Venezuela, isn't he?? I miss hearing from Mario!
Yer kidding about the tar stain, right?? That 'work smarter' crap is what the Postmaster used to tell us Carriers! B.S.! lol
Hey OM, you must be slipping for not nailing me about that "hand near the detector" bit! Icon_lol After I get this chassis back in the cab, I'm not sticking MY hand up in there. I've already had one of the "compensating condensers" bite me today!
I have other shields that will fit, but I'm loath to take them out of my 16-B. It has five of them. Hmmmmm....now I wonder....nahhhhhhh!
And that clue stick might have to nail me a few times to make an impession on my Scottish skull! My 16-B is looking at me sideways! It KNOWS it's next! I did the cab last year, but now is the time for every good.....my head hurts! I gotta quit working on these things in my skivvies! Where are those nice men with the straitjackets?? AHHHHHHH!!!!

CORRECTION: the 16-B shields are NOT the ones I need! The ones I need are 1 7/8" in diameter and the 16-B shields are smaller. I wonder if the shields I need were MADE for S-tubes, because the 16-B ones fit ST tubes. I don't remember if they made S-shaped 75s, but they DID make 239/244s, which may have been the original RF and IF tubes. My head hurts again!
