[R-390] The radio machine, getting bit by the bug

[Norm n3ykf]

One man slide. Rack has been moved slightly back and the wire hangers
are now behind. Note the position of the cables. AWAY from the door
and little hands.

 Carpet samples work great for hardwood floors and heavy objects. 1$ per unit.

Also work great recovering cat scratching posts.
