<VV> Door guards, now factory AM/FM radio

[Stephen Upham]

	I think I found a solution to the door edge guards.  I found a web  
site that has "chrome" plastic door edge guards.  It would only cost  
about $12 for enough for the four doors and if I don't like them,  
they should come off without damaging the paint... worth a try.  I  
think they add to the look of the hardtops due to the fact that they  
are the top of the Corvair line in terms of sheer elegance.

	I do have a problem with the factory AM/FM radio that I need to  
solve before our H.O.T. meet in Glen Rose on the 18-20 of April.  We  
can use the FM to broadcast the drive-in movie that we are going to  
see as part of the activities during the weekend.  The problem is  
that the radio keeps going on and off.  The problem seems to  
originate in the on/off-volume knob.  If I turn it on, the light on  
the dial comes on, but there may or may not be volume.  If left on,  
sometimes it will come on for a few seconds or a few minutes and then  
the volume goes off again.  If you turn the volume up, it sometimes  
blasts for a second or two and then silence.  The knob is a little  
loose (comes out about 1/8 inch).  Sometimes, wiggling it gets the  
volume to come on for a second or two.  I checked the ground strap  
and it is secure.  Might this be an internal issue, or will  
tightening the knob (and how is it done) remedy the situation?
