Now, Bill -- you know what's going to happen now. Somebody's going to 
lecture you sternly about the danger posed to you personally and society 
in general if the rubber grommets isolating the cabinet from the chassis 
fail. (And to think, we waste time worrying about radical Islamists and 
the growing power of China).

Perhaps you've forgotten about the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of 
needless deaths of freckle-faced boys in the '50's and '60's because of 
compromised S-38 grommets.  Sure, Bill Halligan and his powerful 
lobbyists attempted to cover up the incidents and -- for a time -- were 
successful.  However, the truth finally leaked out, so to speak, -- at 
least here in Washington. Why do you think Hallicrafters went out of 
business? 

Be careful, m'boy. Be VERY careful...

73,
