Some quotes i like :)

T. E. Lawrence said:
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Steve Jobs said:
That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.

I have many....

"The only impossible things are those you've never tried"

"The night is always darker before dawn"

"It can't rain all the time"

"Life stinks, and then you die"

"You can take a person out of the sh*twhole but you can't take the sh*twhole out of the person"

"Rocks in my pathway, I gather them all, and with them I shall build my castle"

Love this thread. There's one by Steve Jobs I also like, this may not be word for word correct, but "You just have to remember, that when you look around the world, everything you see has been made by people no smarter than you".

"He did it because he didn't know it was impossible"

"I'm not a complete idiot. There are parts of me missing". --> It is in the signature of someone here in this or another forum, can't remember where I saw it. It is one of my favourites :D

I am now curious ... Did you manage to rebuild the radio ? Was it still functioning ?

Eheh, yes, we (the radio and me) were lucky; it worked for a few years more.
A couple of years later I built a transistor based one from a kit. My first contact with soldering, resistors' color codes and components at a large. My knowledge about those items was absolute zero (and there was no Internet to help) but with patience and observation I assembled it correctly.
A challenge was to decode the color scheme used on resistors. No clues, just a circuit board scheme showing something like "place R12, 4Ohm, next to.."; how to identify R12 was up to me..
