[R-390] confusion

[JAMES T BRANNIGAN]

It is becoming morbid.....look at it this way....

I don't regret selling anything, for that helped provide the capital to buy
the goodies I really wanted.

I don't regret cannibalizing surplus radios.  They were the source of cheap
and interesting parts.  The projects (along with the sparks/smoke) advanced
my knowledge of electronics and now I can fix my own radios.
