Several people now have tagged me in the Mini arrow-lookin'-tail light thing.

You're correct that it bothers me but you're incorrect if you think the arrow part has much to do with it.

It's bothersome to me only because it's a combined brake and turn indicator!

I am surprised at folks who think the resemblance to an arrow pointing the wrong way is actually confusing: I find it extremely unlikely that people even parse the presence of the arrow over which side of the vehicle is flashing.

@TechConnectify In daylight, it’s obviously a right turn.
At night, it’s up for debate.

Heh, well I guess the Sharp Carousel Multiple Choice doesn't know what leap years are.

@TechConnectify Why does an oven need to know the date? Needless complexity.

If you've been watching my videos for a while, you may have noticed this Silvertone radio in the set. It's an AM/FM set from 1952.

I restored it when I was in high school (I think) by replacing its capacitors but never got into the habit of using it since its FM reception was a bit spotty.

Well I finally hooked up a decent antenna to it and while it's still not able to tune in perfectly well, it's been a pleasure to use this again!

@TechConnectify Did you align it properly after re-capping?
Fiddling with the coils could make a world of difference.
Have a look at “Mr Carlson’s Lab” on YouTube for many demonstrations.
