Cool, 30-85.996Mhz in 1kHz steps; FM and MCW. 12 watt RF output.
Schematics. Easy to fix, but I suspect they all need recapping. 1980's radios are notorious for leaky capacitors. ImageImage
Ah, the era of discrete VCOs (voltage controlled oscillators) Image

Interesting article on #flooding and infrastructure in Orange County, #Florida wftv.com/news/local/ora…
neighbors (want) "answers about what’s being done to prevent another flood, after their homes went underwater for the second time in five years."
"There’s a $10 million plan that was drafted after Hurricane Irma in 2017 to address flooding...", however, the "county says this plan would still be limited and it wouldn’t prevent the kinds of flood Orlo Vista saw during Ian."

Repair cost for a broken extension cord: $3 to $8 depending on the amp rating/quality of the new plug. #DIY Image
It's literally a 2 minute operation to fix something like this, I just put two different ends on this to create two new extension cords. Image
Family member 1: "Throw that away! Just go buy a new one"
Family member 2: "Hmm, you should throw that in the trash and buy a new one"
Me: "WHAT?!?! It's so easy to fix these!"
(obviously, I am the handy/DIY person in this part of the family)
