Need the glass for the radio head, Thanks

Jim/Ga, let it be. The guy thought up something that others might find helpfull.

I am also in. I have been impressed by the improved performance of the Marvel over the Zenith or the Tilly.

My Grandpa who lived near Lyndon Washington in the early 1900s told me about two gas stations that had a price war between them. They both got down to 9 cents a gallon. One of them got so upset that he went out and turned his price sign upside down. Yep, 6 cents a gallon.
