Calling it quits for now.
#17

I never call it quits when I stop working on something. I might run out of parts, need to move stuff for cleaning, whatever... But I do pick it back up again. My Philco 20 console got moved behind my 300B project, but as I need a couple of transformers now for the amp the Philco just got moved back to the front. Now to find that darned rotary on-off switch I took out for some unknown reason.
When I was buying stereo gear in the late 70s I bought Pioneer, partly due to the long haired salesdude telling me that Marantz was "good for the price of great". But I can imagine the same thing was said 4 decades earlier about RCA, Zenith, Philco, etc. My radios have their own personalities, but they're all good. And I really miss that Pioneer SX-1080 receiver.
Ron, have you gotten another Chevy TF PU? Mine's behind my tube hobby on the priority scale.
