Charlie, sounds great! I don=E2=80=99t know if my 67.5 radio works or not, h=
aven=E2=80=99t tried it in about 30 years. Don=E2=80=99t have a speaker & ev=
en if I did it is not important to have it work. My hearing aids are connect=
ed to my phone so I just stream to them. If I ever feel like getting the rad=
io working I=E2=80=99ll get the number.=20


I thought about going up to OKC or Durant OK next weekend for the Route 66 g=
et together or the car show @ the casino in Durant but I don=E2=80=99t think=
 I will. Too far to drive for a day. Besides, I can spend that time working o=
n my car! Starting engine assembly.=20

Peace,
