It's unincorporated and a ghost town (and probably had a pop of 8 people back in the early 1970s) but it's there.<br /><br />The plain brown package bit seems awfully racy for MRFD, but doesn't compare to "Will you quit feelin’ it and do somethin’ about it?!!"

What ever it was (table radio?), it ...OH HELL YEAH. What ever it was (table radio?), it blowed up real good! Strike three, grab some bench, Emmett.<br /><br />Incidentally, not to be pedantic, but I can't resist pointing out that a large mirror actually has a valuable function in the fix-it biz, if it's a TV being fixed.<br /><br />Buried in the back of the TV (back in the day, not so much now) are dozens of little variable resistors (AKA potentiometers or pots) that control various aspects of the TV image appearance, like geometry (height, width, position, bow, trap, skew, and so on), focus, chroma and luma presets, and on and on. Dozens of 'em.<br /><br />Since you need to be behind the TV to get at 'em with a screwdriver, but need to see the resultant change in image on the front as you tweak away, a simple solution is to point the front of the TV into a mirror, and look into the mirror over the top of the TV from the back so you can see what's happening onscreen as you twiddle away.<br /><br />Pretty sure this never occurred to Emmett, though, so yeah, what's the mirror for, Mister?Chris Vosburgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-36946523153206337072012-09-17T17:09:34.427-04:002012-09-17T17:09:34.427-04:00When Emmett was caught using the check I thought M...When Emmett was caught using the check I thought Martha might have thought he was saving up for a hitman ala "Dial M for Murder"basurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10580128565141263640noreply@blogger.com
