Default Re: Radio Servicing 1935

I liked the parts where the service engineer was working on sets with that huge, high wattage soldering iron. You can imagine him clumsily touching wiring and components as he delves in to pull out the offending 'bad tooth'. In fact, isn't that just what you see when you open some sets; evidence of a huge soldering iron being waved about like a star wars light sabre. No-one in the film seemed to stand on ceremony when it comes to looking after the cabinets either, chuck em down on the gritty pavement, into the back of the car etc.
