I'll pay for shipping if you're up for the hassle of standing in line at the post office...

Probably something I can get thinking about doing. I'll take inventory this weekend -- there's probably 2 in my car -- and let you know if this is do-able, and I think it is. Maybe it's not such a hassle; the P.O.'s right down the block. I'll PM you when I've got things organized.

I finished the cleanup and cosmetic restoration of the T-4X and it looks pretty nice. Now, as long as I can get it to, you know, actually work...

The R-4A will be done pretty shortly.

Very nice. Are you going to replace the filter caps in the P/S? Probably would be a good idea.

Yeah, probably. There's a kit available.

BTW, I realize that I should have included a "before" pic, so here it is:

Or....they seem to be common and cheap ($5 to $10) at hamfests.

Enjoy that gorgeous 4-Line!

Ever find those variacs?

What is your preferred solution of knob wash?

Whipped Cream in a slow circular motion.

Denatured alcohol, then a buff with the Moto Tool followed up by a hand polish with some jeweler's rouge on a cotton cloth. I re-whitened the lines, too, which really made 'em pop.
