Hey Jim, Just let me know if you want one. I have a huge collection of tube audio gear and a few old radios.

I have an extra console radio (a couple, actually).I'm in New Jersey also. Let me know if you want one.

After following your adventures I sort of feel like I've gotten to know you somewhat. Your medical issues really concern me. I suffer from several maladies myself that have had a real negative impact on the quality of life. I do way less with cars and vacuum tube audio then I used to. It's...

The Bug looks great! Can you tell us about it in detail? Just the one photo makes me want to get another to build. The bugs I've had were such great cars to own; inexpensive, fun to drive, reliable, etc. The last few I had were the ones with rack and pinion steering and were a ball to race...

I see the bulging capacitors on your graphics board. They should not be too hard to replace, just be careful to not over heat the board in the process. Bad caps are nearly always the problem with modern electronics equipment, especially anything with a switching power supply (which is almost...
