Far as the smell of old radios I love the smell of a nice boatanchor transmitter that hasn't been run in years. The smell of the iron heating up, the dust burning off the finals, the power resistors getting hot. Or the smell of burning urine residue because the dog or cat peed on it at some point when it was not in use.

The smell of the dust burnig off of the finals is wonderful. As for the semll of animal urine, you could be happy that the hollow state stuff still works after fido pisses on it.

some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
It could be worse.

I'll nefver forget the time that a friend of mine brought over a computer that had been sitting unused in a basement for several years to see what was on the hard drive. We put it on the bench, hooked it up, and the second we turned it on several roaches came scurrying out.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Is there a bird butt in that pile?
