I didn't have that problem, but one time I drove through a puddle deep enough to hit the exhaust and it instantly made a bunch of steam come out of the vents which caused the windshield to get completely obscured by fog.



On the TV resto front, I stopped by Bob's place today to get a good pair of 6AQ5's. While there I also picked up a new dial cord for the fine tuning, so now that works again. The old one was completely torn up, it somehow got chewed into 3 different sections. The majority of the replacement caps from Mouser should be here Monday, so I'll be having a pow wow with the chassis. I suppose I might drop it back in the cabinet to see where I'm at after the work is done, so stand by for first screen pics if things go according to plan...
