Save yourself the headache of trying to figure out why some hammy 
ham-bone goofed the thing up like that, and just put it the way it's 
supposed to be.  Eliminate the stress and enjoy the fact of knowing it's 
done proper when you get done ;-)

I've moved, in the last week, a Viking II, an RCA AR-88, an SX-73 and 
the Heathkit Warrior.  Nothing tests your age like horsing around these 
old boat anchors.  Used to be, I can carry a Viking II under one arm, 
and haul the SX-73 by the rack-panel handle with the other free hand.  
It's all I can do now, to move that chunk of grey iron!  :-/

I'm headed to San Antonio for the Turkey day holiday where all my 
'goodies' are stored.  At one time, I had 8 1625's.  If I can locate a 
pair, are you good on QRZ?
