Did some more yardwork yesterday - pulling more weeds and cutting more brush. Plenty more brush to cut back but I'm making some progress. We got some rain in the afternoon, so everything will continue to grow at a good clip.
The wire, fuse holders and microphone extension cord came yesterday, so I drug out all the wiring stuff and put the power cord together.
I soldered the fuse holders onto the power cord wires. I covered the solder joints with heat-shrink tubing but I'm going to wrap the joints with some electrical tape as well. On the other ends of the fuse holders are female spade terminals. I put a little heat shrink tubing on them as well to help insulate them if they were to happen to touch each other in the junction block. Now I can feed the wire through to the battery, cut the wire to length, install the required terminal and I'll have power.
I still need to cut the antenna cord to length and install the fitting on it. I was waiting on that until I drug the soldering stuff out.
Won't be long now.

How old do you think that soldering gun is? 60 years?
Probably 57 or 58. If memory serves correctly, I got that by cashing in my Top Value stamps that I got when I bought gas at Art's Texaco. Obviously Wen had never heard of the concept of Planned Obsolescence.
