Sawers Has Combination
Repair Shop, HamStation
Drop by Jim Sawers’ home some
ight, and you’ll no doubt find
bim shut up in the attic either
epairing TV sets and radios or
hamming” with one of his many
adio buddies.
Jim claims that there couldn’t
be another attic in the city of
Greensboro or the state, for that
matter, like the one at 1207 Corn
wallis Drive. It looks like a cross
between a Radio-TV repair shop
and a radio receiving room—^trans
mitters, tubes, wires, earphones,
screw drivers, etc. all over the
place.
First Set
Upon receiving a crystal set
when ‘‘just a little boy” he im
mediately developed a keen inter
est in the electronics field, but
never dreamed he’d become the
enthusiastic hobbyist he is today.
That little st was just th first
of numerous boxes, crates, and
sacks full of similar equipment to
pass the Sawers front door and
up the steps to the attic.
Jim didn’t become interested in
really “setting up shop” until last
fall; until then he just used his
equipment and knowledge as a
hobby. Then, however, he decided
to put it to good use. What better
use than opening up an honest-
to-goodness repair shop? The city
zoning committee didn’t agree
with him, though, and it was Feb
ruary, 1957, before he was finally
granted permission to begin his
business.
Repairs Set
Since then he has repaired TV
sets and radios for many friends
and neighbors bringing his earn
ings up into the neighborhood of
$1500. Most of the $1500 has been
pent on equipment. Looking to the
future he says, “I figure the equip
ment will depreciate very little;
therefore, I’ll enjoy it now and
sell it later in order to help get
myself through college.”
Ham Operator
When he isn’t working in the
shop, Jim is usually talking with
other ham operators over the city
and state. He has communicated
with pomts distant as New Zealand
and Australia. More recently he
has picked up the beep-beep of
Russia’s moon satellite.
A versatile person, Jim also is
an ardent oil painter, specializing
in landscapes. His $1500, he hopes,
will see him through college of
fering an extensive science pro
gram where ho will major in phys
ics.
Incidentally—Jim enjoys scien
tifically aided i)sactical jokes—So
beware!
