Peter, my prayers for a rapid peace that allows individuals and their countries to reach their highest potential where all countries benefit! Naive, but I still pray for it. ( Could say more but to be fair, I don't want to run afoul of the no politics rule)

In the intercoms used by the drive through restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, etc., the speaker at the drive up menu board traditionally was used as the microphone. (and this is why they don't get the order straight).

I remember one of your posts a year or 2 ago where you built a cabinet for a radio - phono combination. It was a wonderful job! My fabricating skills are poor but I am pretty good at fixing things.

You have an outstanding collection. The only European radio in my collection is a Telefunken Allegro 5083W, that I bought at a church thrift shop for $40 USD. The glass faceplate is cracked but the wood is excellent. I did successfully glue the faceplate back together, replaced the filter caps and cleaned it up. It plays rather nicely. Advertised as Stereo, but only for an external tape or phono input; there is no FM Multiplex, only Mono FM. An external speaker is required for stereo and the 2 amplifiers are not equal (EL84, ECL86).
