[TowerTalk] Cable Lubricant

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Folks:

Though it's probably obvious from the pix of the "Lube Catcher" on 
Mel's web site, the device is made from scrap pieces of PC board, 
just cut to size/shape and then soldered together. Nuthin' special.

Works great and saves a LOT of lube!!!  A LOT!!!

Thanks Mel!

73,

Tom   N0SS
