What have I taken on! Silvertone 45 Restoration FINISHED
#17

Hey Kirk, I know you love a challenge, but with the mouse evidence in there please take precautions against HPS (Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome). Not sure where the radio came from, and the infection rate seems to vary from state to state, but here is a link to some more info:

http://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/

I always blew that stuff off until a collector told us about a friend who died from HPS after messing with a chassis that had been mouse infested. Not suggesting collectors go wild and start wearing hazmat suits, but we should be aware of where the chassis we mess with came from and that according to the CDC, "The virus, which is shed in the saliva and excreta of the deer mouse, is rather fragile, and can only survive for about 72 hours in air and sunlight. After that period, the virus becomes inactivated."
