I couldnt find the exact cap. But I had a few extra laying around that worked. I love my new phone/pocket heater.

    That is awesome.

    I was thinking about making the move from a SS cell phone to a tube one with NOS tubes too.

    I am looking for a lighter car battery that I can carry on my belt.

    It's hard to describe, but the calls just sound better. More like the phone calls from the golden age of Bakelite desk phones of my youth.

    I could only hope my sprint service sounded as good as a phone call from the 50's.

    I heard you can become a wi-fi hot spot by rolling some tubes

    I think your next step is to try some exotic cables between the screw-type capacitor terminals and wherever it is they go to. The orange, black, and red wire is holding you back SQ-wise.

    You need some rdo198's and MW6500 speakers to replace the stock ones and some of Larry's rings to hold them in place to hear a real sonic improvement! Don't forget the dynamat, you wouldnt want the baskets to ring when the phone rings!

    Be careful how you put that in your pocket. You don't want to burn your um, you know.
