Rob,

Yes, the 45yo Ariens snow blower is still chugging along. The reason I had to get to the snow was a prediction of rain then freeze. My 2020 Camry is low ground clearance and frozen ridges of ice can cause a problem, it is a lease... More rain is predicted today, long range forecast looks good so far, Probably have a cool early Spring, but me bones say it will be a nice Summer coming early...

Thanks for the feedback.

Sure is a shoddy arrangement for the antenna, The tech will have to use a substitute antenna for live bench work...

I'm glad I got both of my Hippo's cheap, the other one is a slightly different chassis in painted ivory, a couple of chips...

Hope you enjoy radio collecting. My thing is don't buy busted, rusted or missing bits and as cheap as I can...

The last wooden table AA5 was two years ago, at the right price of $10, untouched in modern times, finish nicely alligatored....  chas.
