I'm with you, Mike. I, too only buy radios that need work. Yes, to me the fun is getting something that doesn't work or look good and bringing it back to life. Years ago I was a master auto technician. I used to specialize in problem cars for the main reason that I got to use my head and I felt great when I found the problem.
The thing that gets me is that I had it working and it really was working great. Then I messed with the switch and now it looks like I created more problems. So, before I get really aggravated, I'll put it aside. After all, I still have the cabinet to complete. Then after a while I'll get back to it and get it working again.
Oh, by the way, the author of the book explains that his last name should be pronounced Von Brown
