I rather miss sliding the honeycomb wound coils over the wooden dowels
and landing the leads in Fahnestock clips followed by plugging in a new
crystal to change bands. It was made more interesting by forgetting to
turn off the HV but was a great way to wake up in the morning.
By the way (while robbing threads) why does the K3 use a threaded post
and knurled nut to fasten the ground wire when it's obvious that a
Fahnestock clip could do the same job much quicker without even using a
thumb? :-)

Wow - never thought anything as simple as a band select button would cause such
commotion. Back when there were rotary bandswitches you had to go through 40 to
get from 80 to 20. How did we ever manage that? Such silly stuff.........

PS - wonder which button is next on the list? Oh, that's right, the Mode
button.........
