"Kent, I'm working on a Ph!l@o radio right now, and I've discovered some grounding issues in it as well...some of the methods of using existing screws/bolts, or soldering to other components isn't the best method of grounding, as we…"

"I have one of those installed in my '58 Cadillac. Works good!"

"Definitely look at mica caps...I had two in a Northern Electric "Vimy" hi-fidelity set I recently rebuilt, that were causing microphonic problems. I finally found them while using cold spray on components in the affected area."

"Very interesting!! Too bad we don't know what they are listening to..."
