No cell phone, no AAA card, and I still don't like tow trucks. And I had learned to cut brushes out of battery posts way back in the 5th grade (when I used them for slot car motors). They didn't last as long as the commercial brushes, but the price was right. Necessity is a mother, or something like that. Unfortunately alkaline cells don't use carbon posts, and the carbon-zinc battery seems to be a thing of the past. -- Randall ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
