got a call today from a buddy that said someone had an old radio they wanted to get rid of pronto. it was headed for the garbage pile! can you believe that crap?!?!? luck had it the call came through right when i was leaving work and the radio was on my way home!

i got it home and its a zenith console with shortwave and still has the cardboard box rotating antenna in it, radio seems all there. the pushbuttons came loose and its got termites. i think its saveable so im tenting it. literally.

i put it in a tent and im gassing it with a couple of raid dry foggers. one fogger tonight, another in the morning. hopefully that will kill the termites and i can get to working on the radio!

the old timer that lived there was an electronic tech for eastern airlines. the lady said the garage is full of crap and they are gonna call me when they get ready to clean it out. double score!
