Re: YIPPEE WINCHESTER 9410- USE OF SLUGS
A forty caliber round ball works very well in a Winchester 410 red shot wad inserted in a Magtec all brass 410 shell, with a proper amount of WW296 powder and a nitro card over the powder.
I shoot this in my Bond Deringer 45/410 snakeslayer.

Re: UNIVERSAL BIG 8 AM TRANSISTOR RADIO-HONG KONG
Your Transistors are soldered to the circuit board, no sockets visible.
The do not make them that way anymore, such a shame. Now you have a couple of circuit packages on the board. and the piece is a throw away if it fails.
I like to see components on the board.
