As I become more and more hands on with my radios, I seem to be be accumulating a pile of stuff that I can't come up with a good idea to keep it all organized. I'm talking about small wires, compacitors, soldering tools, and just miscellaneous stuff that's involved with tinkering with these...

Just got this radio from the local flea market still in the box (40.00). It appears to work great. Has the white meter and blue lights. I'd say this radio was not used much. The clarifier has been unlocked. The course knob always wants to go back to the center notch. At center the TX is xx.xxx3...
