OK, it is speaking nw too. Good, two radios today.
Have to wait or that capacitor as the peak volts across that on I have there now exceed the 100V rating.
It is a TRF, so not a whole lot of alignment if any.

Tried alignment...not much can be done, just tuning gang padders. Given the dial precision don't even matter much.
Well, it tunes in and speaks.

Enjoy. When is it again you can legally take one of those. 
Well, glad to see you are still above the surface and have all your limbs with you.
Check carefully all the paces...them docs, sometimes they snip things without telling you

I can see in this photo he is dreaming of cabinets.
I know what you need, Kirk - you need to restore a Mae West Emerson when you out.
Keep picturing it (or Mae herself) in your head, this will give you strength to recover.
