<VV> Excessively Frugal

[Dave Thompson]

Tony,
That's not "excessively frugal"! It's being a repairman, not a replacement
artist. Back in the 70's and 80's, as a telephone man, we used to tease the
new guys for replacing phones. We "old timers" would open up the phone and
repair the problem. Now days, business phones are all one or two circuit
boards with no field repairable parts. That's one reason I like the Corvair;
you can repair most of the parts.

I drilled out the rivets to fix the one given to  me that had been 
cooked... because I was cheap.   I did fix it  (bad transistor and 
shorted zener).   It's on one of the 'Vairs  here now and still working.
