Bob,

Your radio story reminds me of the following:


1. During half of my student days, I drove a 1972 Sunbeam Sceptre
(similar to a Hillman Hunter, you can google that).

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 That was until 1981, when I graduated and started work=
ing. In those
days, it was not done, as a sales rep, to drive a 10-yr old car.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 So I bought a Peugeot 504, archetypical for a sales re=
p in those days.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Since the Sunbeam's manufacturer had gone belly up and=
, by
consequence, the resale value was very very low,

 =C2=A0=C2=A0 and the car looked still quite good, I decided to not trade =
it in
but just keep it.


 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Fast Forward 30+ years: I got the car running again and now=
adays
make occasional trips with it,

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 like e.g. a camping trip to the South of England with =
my son.


 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Three things that I noticed when I drove this car firs=
t time after
so many years:


 =C2=A0=C2=A0 a. The steering wheel rim is very thin;

 =C2=A0=C2=A0 b. Panorama view: no thick posts between windscreen and door=
s etc.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0 c. The (Grundig, upmarket for its days) AM/FM monaural radio=
 sounds
really terrible when compared to more modern gear.


2. In the late seventies, I worked for three months as a trainee at
Televerket, the Swedish telephone company.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Of course, my internship required that I do some=
thing scientific,
but due to poor organisation by my employer, a state enterprise,

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I could not work for weeks at the project that I=
 came for.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 So, colleagues came by and asked me if I could repair =
their record
players, stereo's, car radios etcetera.


 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Now, this was not a skill I had any experience with, b=
ut at that
age you learn quickly.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 These were the days before Internet or even telefax.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 But, when you grab a telephone and ask the manufacture=
r to send
some circuit diagrams by mail,

 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 they were really very eager to assist such an important ins=
titution
like the Swedish Telecom authority.

 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 So, I repaired a lot of electronics stuff then, and learned=
 a lot
in the process.


 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 One day, I had a small problem with the Sunbeam, no output =
from the
alternator (Lucas 16 ACR).

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Not very nice to=C2=A0 work on, when it is minus 25 de=
grees Centigrade
outside.

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 No problem: I could easily drive the car into the Tele=
verket
laboratory after working hours

 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 and replace the carbon brushes that my brother had sen=
t me by mail
from Holland.


Cheers

Bert

                                  all.... My '76B, which=C2=A0was off the
                                  road for 5 years, was recently
                                  returned to me from the shop. They
                                  added some new gas but did not siphon
                                  out the 5 year old gas (which was just
                                  under 1/2 tank when I had it towed in.
                                  The car is running pretty rough so I
                                  want to siphon out most of the gas
                                  before I fill it up. It is currently
                                  showing as just under 1/2 tank, so
                                  around 6 gallons or a little less
                                  (assuming gauge accuracy).=C2=A0<o:p></o=

                                    the tank is baffled, as I can't seem
                                    to move the hose beyond a certain
