      Hi, I wanted to let you know that I totally agree with you about that so called friend.
      I have been watching your videos for years and I have always enjoyed wisdome about all the good stuff you present.
      We don't agree on some stuff, yet we agree on a lot of stuff, too.
      Obviously, you have your opinins and I have, mine and I would never do anything to try to make you change your opinions on any subject.
      For one thing, you have let folks know how you feel on things.
      I titally agree with you on these flippers, etc.
      Let's say that we disagree on some politics, but I have never heard you put anyone down for having an opinion.
      We can state our side of something, then we can just go back to discussing whatever there is to talk about.
      This is still a free country, and I hope it stays that way, at least for the most part.
      I can set here and remember a lot ot things you have talked about, and your insights have alway been right on the money,, so to speak
      I honestly want to see people get along, and either work out their dissagreaments, and if you can't, just stop discussing the topic that is bothering you or the other person. I am totally on your side on that guy you were talking about
      You are an adult and you have every right to your own opinion, and to make it known as you see fit.
      I consider my self liberal, but I think there are things tha sp called liberals say and or do that piss me off, too.
      If there is something we disagree on, if it is something that upsets me, I will just not bother you with myopinion, sine I don't expect we will either one convince the other one to agree with them.
      Let's just enjoy our friendship and not get upset at each other.
      the golden rule works pretty well on most things,
      I wish people would follow it.
      I will continue to enjoy your videos and send any feedback I might have and hope it can help some.
      your Friend,
      Darryl

    If it's truly a violation, the FCC would or should do something.
    Interesting radio and resurrection!
    P.S. you're right about the intolerant.

    The early IF cans with the trimmer caps on top were simple, and *the best!* It was really a step down in quality when manufacturers decided to use those smaller IF's with shoddy internal mica caps along with those more fragile adjustable ferrite inductors. It was less expensive for them, and they were able to pass the savings on to the end user, though. The engineers who designed these receivers didn't envision them operating well into the next century. (It's unfortunate, but many people bring their underlying destructive personality traits into politics. Being somewhat apolitical right-of-center, I try to shy away from discussing that subject to avert conflict with those who may disagree with me.)

    Regarding your political rant, I can recognize that both sides are largely the same in terms of discourse regarding the other side. Just remember that most people are pretty reasonable and it's only a fraction who stand out.

    Politics and religion to me do not need to be discussed on Facebook or anywhere. In America we have the right to our own opinions and I refuse to try to influence anyone to follow my line of thinking on politics. As far as religion goes no one knows who is going to Heaven but God and God only. Neither religion nor politics are anything to argue.

      The hockey or football mentality, needs to stay at the arena or stadium. It doesn't belong at the ballot box or in DC. We have gotten into a terrible habit of treating politics as a zero sum game, while shutting people out, who are on the other side. And it's tearing this country apart.

    Me and my husband are glad to see your videos are back. My husband a collector of vintage electronic likes your vids and your style .
    Everything you experienced on ebay he in one way or another had or has the same problems.
    Living in Blue New Jersey especially in the northern part of my state is not easy political if you don't agree with everything the democratic machine here sprues out. We're independents which also annoys some if not affiliated with a party. If they tell people that painting your face purple and eyelashes yellow will make you save taxes and look great they will do it cause it has a D in front of it. Tell them that is the stupidest idea I ever heard they will ridicule you and try to shut you down if you don't totally agree with them cause their party know better than all. Yes we lost some FB friends and friends that shy away now, even two family members. Two things we taught to stay away in bars, pubilc or family gathering is politics and religion but if pushed to the extreme we will view our independent view on it. Hope your doing fine and my hubby is looking forward to more fix and resurrect vids....

    It would appear with some people it's all about control. They can't handle when other people have opinions they neither agree with or can't silence. Those who, 'unfriend', you were never your friends to begin with. Why people can't just agree to disagree and live and let live, I'll never know. It shouldn't matter what other people's opinions or affiliations are but when they can't telling you what to believe in, what to speak and how to think, then there's going to be a problem.
