BOYS AND THEIR TOYS
#1

Well, I know young boys like to play with their toys(like blocks)--but do men? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. For example my radio restorer seems very hesitant to "play" with the blocks on my Philco 38-690 even after I told him people on the Phorum say they are often bad. He's got my radio playing pretty well from what I can hear over SKYPE but is that good enough? He told me: "IN YOUR RADIO ARE 3 BLACK BLOKS : 32-2752 , 6287 SU, 3793DG". I would appreciate opinions from my learned members before this radio gets shipped to me! Thanks much and hope all have a Happy Easter or Passover.
