I know it's time to upgrade so....
The next one is going to be a Curtis Mathis!
Hello Tim.
Before ditching your time-honoured B & H cell phone for a Curtis
Mathis. May I suggest you look into the Capehart brand?
Homer Capehart's are obscure, rare, and made to discriminating
standards that one of your calibre could enjoy and appreciate.
However. A person of your vast experience and electrical knowledge
may find it more refined if you built your own. And by doing so, you
can control the quality of your own product.
Yes. It can be done!

Huh!

a motorcycle with it's own boom box.

Hey man! you started a trend!
Used a magnetic antenna and a CB radio in the back bag on longer trips
too... Used to screw with my buds once in a while too until they figured
out I had it on there.

Okay, another story. My cousin was a truck driver. The local bar had a
base station CB radio that was very powerful. The bar also had a crude
version of a video game called Astro Blaster. Well, it just so happened
that when they broadcast through the CB, you could hear them on the
speaker for that game. Okay, so me and my brother come in, and because
we're young hippy types, my cousin figures we're on at least one
substance. So me and my bro are standing by this machine, under the
influence, sipping a beer, and the machine says "Asshole blaster.....put
a quarter in me you son of a bitch"!!!!! I look at my brother thinking,
I wonder if that really happened, then it did it a couple of more times,
until my cousin came out laughing his ass off at us.

Frekin' pranks huh.. My bud pulled the best one ever. He was somewhat of
an evil scientist as it were, fooling with home made capacitors that he
could charge at home on the train transformer and whack somebody with a
charge at school.. Did the kiss thing with the flame with distilled
petroleum, etc...

So one night we are sitting there fishing for buzz fish and I am talking
to my girl. All of a sudden I see Steve on the other side of the room
and he aims a long tube at me and it fires! A projectile comes about
three quarters across the room and fizzles to the ground, scared the
living **** out of me... Turned out the projectile was a bunched up
black plastic garbage bag fired out of three foot pvc pipe with
hairspray propelant... After it was over, we had a great laugh, well,
after I stopped kicking his ass...

Funny you should mention capacitors. While going to school, I worked for
a lawn mower repair place. I worked on push lawnmowers mostly with
Briggs engines. Well, had a capacitor checking machine that would charge
it and test it. Then you could, if you want, hit the button to discharge
it. The guy that owned the place let his six year old kid do just about
whatever he wanted. He'd always come and start fiddling with stuff on
your bench. SO I charge me up a capacitor and sit it there on the bench.
Sure enough, he comes up and picks it up!!!!! He NEVER messed with my
stuff again.

Cool...
