Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

It all began back in the early 70's when I salvaged a Tandy AM Transistor Radio that someone had let the 9v batt. go bad in. I found out that by twisting around on the coils and the cap. that I could make it not work at all and never get it back to the original settings, and to make things worse the coils for tuning and IF transformers are made of very brittle ferrous materials made not to be messed with too often, especially with a iron flat blade screwdriver or butter knife..After loosing several, new, or used but a weeks candy...
