This is the puppy in my kitchen. Used to repair car radios part time a looooong time ago and have always liked to mess with them. Installed in school buses too. Anyhow, This is a Buick Regal AM FM cassette and CD mounted in a 5/8 thick piece of Walnut. Has a little wood box on the back to mount it into the wall. Those indicators are for the power charge. Have two Optimas in the basement with a charger maintainer hooked to them. When the power goes out the batteries will run the radio non stop for almost three days straight before the radio will poop out. Just use it like when you are there and I have no idea how long it will run but it is quite long. The best part is the speakers. Two Atlas 883 eight inch hi compliance studio speakers mounted in the celling. The Kitchen really ROCKS. They cost about $80.oo each unless you can pick them up on fleabay but you will need to buy like five or six at a time. The reason I use car radios is the superior recievers and they put out about 5 watts a channel. It is plenty loud just believe it. Use a regular antenna or you can use just a 38 inch piece of wire hooked to a cut off antenna lead from an old car. The BEST set up is to have a 3x3 foot piece of sheet steel like from a heat duct and ground it to the earth. Mount a standard car antenna in the middle of it. This will give you a standing wave antenna and it works even better. That is what your car is. Really not that hard to hook up but they take some time to install. Worth every penny and second.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
