LOL!!! That sounds just like Michael Savage talking!

But anyway...

Randal, no bricks here either...but Gary has already said it best for me. I also believe in restuffing bakelite blocks. It isn't that difficult once you get used to doing it. Plus, most of us do not refill the block once restuffed. There is no need to do so. No one will see inside the block unless it becomes necessary in the future to RE-restuff; then, as Gary said, we have made it easier for the next person to replace the caps.

Remember, Randal, you promised your next batch of bakelite blocks to me anyway!!! HA! HA! Icon_lol Icon_twisted
