@ Ron, Not offended at all! This is one of the problems with writing as opposed to speaking, even using emojis. My neighbor and her daughter stopped talking by phone and texted each other, because "that's what kids do nowadays. They now have a horrible relationship because moods in the typed words are not transmitted like they are in person. They now practically don't communicate with each other. I also found this to be the case in corporate communications. And forget legal communications. When the attorney for someone that you are involved in a lawsuit signs the letter "Very Truly Yours" they usually mean *&^$#)&^%$#@@

My statement "I barely remember the cartoon and didn't remember the cat's name. I wanted to share that article to show what a job the author did on a totally trashed radio." was not meant to be defensive. The last time I saw a Pixie and Dixie cartoon was about 60 years ago, so I can't remember the gender. Apparently, neither did the author of the article. Therefore your historical notes on Pixie and Dixie are wholly appropriate.

I have a bad habit of not completing thoughts in conversation. It probably carries into typed conversations also.

One of the reasons for posting the article is that I think that sometimes mice "hit and run", damaging electronics without living in the device and performing ALL activities of daily living in the device.

I was also totally amazed by the article (I should give the author, Jean Marcotte, credit) on the total turnaround of a radio that some may not have trashed, but actually burned out of fear of contracting hantavirus or the Andromeda Strain (esoteric sci-fi move reference here). I posted it to contract mouse damage with MOUSE DAMAGE.

I always find you, Morzh, Arran, Bob and all the experts and administrators of this Phorum to be great folks and guardians of decorum and a good time.

Thanks so much for what you do on this Phorum and elsewhere in the antique Radio (and our Westinghouse RCs truly meet the definition) community.

BTW, I hope and pray for your health and other folks suffering major illness. I hope that you are doing well and feeling well!

Kindest Regards,

John, MrFixr55
