[Roadsters] If you ever want your radio restored . . .

[John Stromgren]

Hi, Linda.

He replaced a bunch of capacitors, returning the old ones to me in a baggie
(perhaps I'll make a sculpture out of them) and replaced the speaker, which
I knew was shot.  In his e-mails, he wrote about each one, as if I knew
what he was talking about, which was flattering, if not illuminating.  He
pointed them out in his video, too.
