    Valiant

    The audio in the Valiant went out a last summer, and I final got around to fixing it. Found an open 47K resistor in the B+ line running to the plate of the 3rd audio stage. It's nice to have her back on line again.

    When I saw your subject line, I figured you'd gotten one of these:

    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.

    Sounds like a plan. I have my vertical apart now. When it's back together, we can set up a sked on 20

    Heh, I thought the same thing.

    My mother had a 61 Valiant. My Dad's and eventually my car was a 64. That on is a 62.

    Back in my high school days, a friend of mine had a clapped-out '62 Valiant convertible with the slant-six engine. The top was in such bad shape that he never bothered to put it up even when it was raining, but we had a lot of fun cruisin' the El Camino Real in that thing.

    I saw a '64 Valiant convertible with a "For Sale" sign on it a while back and was sorely tempted...

    We had a 67 growing up with the 190 slant 6. Built like a tank and made several trips to Florida and a couple from New York ... Buffalo. Broadway and Daly.
