Are there 22.5v. batteries?

You're a pervert, Maynard!

I've heard of Aussie housewives being injured by amorous kangaroos that came
in through doors left open.

There's also a youtube clip of an interview with a kangaroo reserve warden
where the camera catches a kangaroo wanking in the background.

But I think shagging a kangaroo is strictly experts only territory!

So this is what happens when you breath in the smoke while soldering.

I think Maynard taught Phil the 'tricks' of that trade. They do
fight like an old married couple.

"Breath" is a noun. It's the stuff that you breathe.

Hope This Helps!

They have one for sale on eBay for $800. I wonder whether it comes
with battery, and most important whether it works...

   It is a collectable radio. It was Regency's first solid state radio
and it's likely to have one or more bad transistors, plus bad
electrolytics.  Leave it for someone who collects & restores them, if
you don't want to spend another $100 or more in parts & labor to make
sure it works properly.

Michael, I wouldn't worry about Ramon. He and Al Gore invented the

Internet. If you don't believe it just ask him. BWAHAHAHA.

I was wondering where he was going to get the $800 for a 40+ year old
tadio.

The 22.5V battery was quite common at phone companies many
years ago. It was built up as a "brick" from 15 AA carbon
cell batteries in a 3x5 package. Looked hand-wired to me
when I used to use them circa 1970. I would get mine from
the local phone company, for free.

In any event, this is what happened: I did a Google search of a "22

divisible by 1.5 but still wanted to hear the comments of you kind
folks.

My comment is that batteries don't put out 1.5 volts.

I know, I've measured quite a few...

   Yet you don't know what 'Nominal Voltage' means.

Sure I do. I means his voltage doesn't have to be
exactly divisible by 1.5.

**  Ever heard of Google  ??

Do you know the name of the first software to go out and
collect info on the web, for a search engine?

The name was "Scooter" and it was the source behind the first search
engine, Altavista. It took Scooter about a month to index the whole
web.

My buddies at Digital Equipment research (Unix/Ultrix division) in
Palo Alto wrote it, in a Skunkworks type of operation, against the
wishes of management. The funny thing is that when DEC was sold the
first part to go was the most valuable: Altavista. They placed
advertising in a blimp (very apropos) that glided above Fenway Park.

We were already making jokes well before you said this. Why can't we
seem to find anything authoritative ( matter of fact anything at all)
that suggests anything you have said ref. (your Internet development)
as being correct and truthful. Hmmmmm.
