I received a “very good” condition Magnum Jr. today just to have around. The one I have is the one I owned back in the day. It shows the many battle scars of heads up balls out racing. Drops, throws, Mello Yello and Cheetos. Electrical tape here, piano wire there… traces of tarmac from drops of disbelief - and bits of drywall from throws of disgust. I, a young maverick that spent as much time holding his radio as he did his penis; well almost as much. Basically not pretty and I wanted a pretty one for the shelf.

Anyhoooo… I never really noticed the serial numbers or FCC I.D. on these radios. Is there any way these can be used to track the manufacturing date of a particular radio? I don’t care, but I’m just curious. Did each unit have it’s own FCC I.D.? I would think to be given an ID it would have to be registered in some way. Some tucked away government document. X files style. Curious minds want to know.

ugh huh....... you said penis.

Yes, and you are being tracked. They also know as a child you spent too much time staring at your Farrah Fawcett poster.

I think the IDs were specific to groups of electronics. I will check a couple old TXs and see.

I think you're right on both accounts. I'll have to compare the one I'm holding with my old one...

Yeah, I like to slip that in whenever possible.

OK, now read that back to me...

Nope, no double entendres in either of my statements so we're good to go.

Never heard of anyone looking for a pretty penis before.... but if you do want one for the shelf, best to get married.

Mine's been up there for 13 years! We keep it next to my grandmother's urn.

Great post!

Great post!

So is it a pretty penis or a great post?

It ain't pretty, but it'll get the job done! ...or at least most of the way done.

See how I like to hi-jack my own threads with my very first post?? It saves everyone else the trouble.

So now you're jacking hi on your great post? Your FIRST post..... as opposed to what???





Okay, that one was a stretch.....

No Alex, I meant yours was a great post!

Wait... I'm not sure if "post" is the best way of putting that...

You do crack me up though. Maybe this is why none of my questions ever get answered.

You're looking for answers? On a Sunday morning? Probably more luck getting your thumb back.....

Sorry...

Saturday afternoon here. If I could get some of the scores from Saturday night's college football games that would be great though. I'll cut you in for 30%.
