Default slightly OT Favorite technique for removing rusted screws??


wrote in message

Thanks for the tip. I helped my son work on his POS VW bus last
weekend, and we needed to remove a number of very rusted screws. The
philips head screwdriver kept torquing out and buggering the screw, so
I tried your valve grinding compound trick, and it worked great.
thanks again,
tom

Using the term "POS" reminds me that I have a sterling example of truth in
advertising.
I'm using an old CB power supply to power my 2 meter transceiver. I've had
it for about 20 years and , within its limits it works quite well (12 volts
at 4 amps can only furnish 10 watts output with my FT-1500M transceiver but
that gets into the local repeaters just fine). To get back to the truth in
advertising point, the model number of the power supply is POS 124Z. How
could they be more honest than that.(G)
