All the good stuff is getting away from us. On the good side, those Swedes will put a proper coil on it!

Yeah, sent over the 239 with it as well..was kinda neat, a Swede came and inspected it, next day made an offer and told me where it was going (the inspector lives in Sacramento).

Why I say it's kinda neat, I'm 1/4 Swede...so really (being half Sicilian) it's "staying in the Family"

Dis-assembled an old Atwater-Kent radio transformer the same way about 6 months ago. Lots of wet hot tar came out. Did the operation over an aluminum pan so not much mess. They seemed to do things right in the good old days! Built for long life. Wished we had this mentality today.

I called Apple support. Told them I needed some wet hot tar for my iPhone.
