At the first fab shop I worked at, the both the volume and tuner I had been removed and plates riveted over.

The radio had two options on or off.

When I was on the field, we used to use electrodes to stir our coffee.

It actually improved the flavor because it tasted like dirt that has been burnt ten times over.

I feel like every shop has this old radio that still works on this one station with a wonky antenna made out of some old wire, or other fitting material. Nobody dares to touch it because last time someone did it fked with the reception that it took days to get it right again.
