Ah, Squire, I remember the days when folks WOULD gladly donate the "old radio that has been sitting in the attic" just to get rid of it. I got several of my radios that way back in the '60s. Today people know they are antiques and folks will pay good money for them, so such generosity is a lot less frequent. Funny how the "junk" of fifty years ago are now the "antiques" of today.

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
