Seeing as my Sweet Little Wife just spent $6500 on a three-week Mediterranean cruise, I see no "problem" over a $3800 radio. Now if I went whole-hog and spent $7k on a top-of-the-line model she might squawk, but a "#2 level" radio shouldn't raise her eyebrows.....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-15301072538754380542019-10-24T20:20:15.466-07:002019-10-24T20:20:15.466-07:00Some of us are tech-heads, some aren't!Some of us are tech-heads, some aren't!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-22296762388783301562019-10-24T19:49:44.738-07:002019-10-24T19:49:44.738-07:00It's cold here too, DRJIM. 28 outside right no...It's cold here too, DRJIM. 28 outside right now.

I have to access things on both sides, as well as spin it around. Kind of a "gimbal" arrangement rather than just a turntable.<br /><br />I considered building one as I was taking it apart, but to really use it, I'd have to lug the radio downstairs, do the work, and then bring it back up here.<br /><br />One of the problems with having a radio "Built Like A Battleship" is that you might need a dry dock from time to time.....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-807745057938428012019-10-23T19:26:47.949-07:002019-10-23T19:26:47.949-07:00Making a rotating fixture, basically 2 plywood squ...Making a rotating fixture, basically 2 plywood squares with a heavy-duty turntable thingamabob underneath would be a good thing.<br /><br />It will be useful for fixing stuff and for painting stuff. <br /><br />Make it.
