Wendell,
As I mentioned in my pm I just p/u a model 87.
Being the daredevil that I am I plugged her in
and gave her juice. Everything seems OK but
voltage are way down so it going to get the
filter bank rebuilt. Started in on that but noticed
it takes a lot of heat to get the solder joints
apart. If you cut the wires they'll be too short
to resolder. Just thought I'd mention it to you,
I'll need a least a 60W iron. That will just about
do the job with saying too much bad words.
100W job would be even better. Forget a little
30W shady o rack.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
