[R-390] Cosmos Dis-assembly

Costco also is using Nitrogen for the tires it sells.

They even put a "green" cap on the valve stem.

I only suggested Argon since it is one of the "Noble" gases.  This means 
that it does NOT react with other elements, at least not in a 
detrimental way.

Nitrogen is NOT a noble gas.  It DOES react with things.  To keep items 
protected with a gas "blanket" or such that constantly varies, Nitrogen 
is fine.  Very long exposure periods without BIG variations in temp and 
pressure are "usually" better served with a "Noble" gas, as there will 
not be corrosion.

No one is worried about the steel wheels of your car to be protected 
against corrosion when you see the outside is exposed to temp extremes 
along with salt, sand, and the like.

We've changed since these radios have come out.

Now we are trying to preserve, restore, and use them.  ( A bit of a 
mixed bag! )
