    20mercman, the Elgin is a nice change. Learning something new with it. It has a funky
    "sliding vane" water pump. Looks like a neat idea…… hope it pumps!
    Frank, I remember going to the mall / store quite often with my dad in the 60’s.
    He’d bring a bunch of TV tubes and self test them in some machine, figure
    out which one was bad, buy another and get the Bendex? TV going again.
    Now you just throw them away when they quit!

    Prepare to be boarded!
