options: one is to put them in the attic, the other is to store them

... seeing two Revell 1/72nd Type VII U-Boats ($35 each with the 50%
discount) and walking out with NEITHER.  To add insult to injury, I actually
spent most of my time on the other side of the store picking up Halloween
stuff I actually needed to pick up.

At the show today and considering my failure to find a decent
secondhand Bridgy, I was tempted by the Chester 836 (Bridgeport copy?).

   I have an old Futaba M-Series radio set including the receiver and
