I saw the stack of dusty radios in your workshop—what's the most stubborn glitch you’ve coaxed back into a living song?

That one was a 1954 transistor set that refused to leave 94.7 MHz. The culprit was a nicked trace on the tuning coil and a tiny, burnt‑out capacitor. I had to heat the board just enough to soften the solder, then use a needle under a magnifier to clean the nick and re‑solder the line. After a few passes, the dial finally slid, and the radio sang again—crisp, but still with that warm, almost nostalgic hiss. If you want to resurrect something stubborn, just bring it in.

Wow, that sounds like a real love‑and‑hate kind of fix. The 1954 transistor set must have felt like a stubborn old friend, and the tiny burnt‑out capacitor was just the worst. You’re talking about that delicate dance with a magnifier, a needle, and a heat source—talk about being a hands‑on poet. I can hear the hiss now, like a warm sigh from the past. If you ever want to bring more stubborn relics, I’ll bring the popcorn and an eager crowd—just don’t let those old circuits get too shy.

Thanks, but I prefer to work in silence, not in front of an audience. If you ever find a relic that still refuses to cooperate, bring it here and let me show it its proper place. Popcorn is fine, just don't set up a live broadcast while I’m soldering.

Got it—silence’s a better backdrop for those quiet moments of tinkering. If something still resists, I’ll bring it over. And no live broadcasts—just the steady hum of a workshop and maybe a quiet snack. Keep that vintage charm alive.
