The last weekend, though I finished the recap, I found myself out of solder and so could not continue. I still have some wiring to replace, mostly the one that goes from under the chassis to the top to the keys' assemblies and such.
So hopefully this weekend I will be able to proceed, now that I restocked my solder supply.![Icon_smile Icon_smile](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Plus it is going to be a warm weekend and it hopefully will be more pleasant to work in the basement.![Icon_smile Icon_smile](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I usually combine working on the radio with transferring my vinyl collection to the tapes of which I have just bought another 150 pieces (found a company that is selling cassettes with BASF chrome super tape in them at $0.45 each which is incredible price; you also need to buy the cases separately plus J-cards but still runs you about $1.30 apiece compared to even old store prices of $2-$3 or today's ebay prices of $4-$5 for a good grade) - I have a nice deck, Nakamichi ZX-9 so the quality of records justifies the time and money spent.
So while I am restuffing the caps, I am listening to nice classic collection![Icon_smile Icon_smile](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
So, mixing pleasure with another pleasure.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
