[ARC5] Boatanchor Ennui: Is He Wrong?

[Jim Falls]

I only have a garage full of stuff, so my odds are much better. 

Got my BC-375 back up and running late April. Bad bypass caps replaced. 

Bad bypass caps in the companion 348 (bad, crackly audio) was a seriously cruddy pot. Judicious drilling with jewelry bit and strong magnet, Caig Fader Lube did the rest. 

Rebuilt the Remler VC in my 1929 Bruce Kelley Twin 27 Hartley. "New" VFO for my WRL 680-A is happy with its patch cable. 

Cheers!
