@ Joseph, get off the porch and run with the dogs. You fixed one, grab another. @ Morzh, I think that we are the same ones. The insane ones throw out history and family heirlooms instead of engaging in a hobby that sharpens skills and is relatively inexpensive (unless you want A-K 10s, Westinghouse RA-DAs or RCs, Radiola IIs, crystal sets, RCA 128s, Philco Predictas, etc.), but, hey, it's still cheaper than boats (B.O.A.T = Bust Out Another Thousand) collectible cars, in ground swimming pools, etc.
