>Really? You are breaking this radio into parts and then selling it?
>From my experience on working on a few of the things back in the early 80's,
that's about all they are good for. I still have bald spots from all the

little cousin, the Tempo One.
Vacuum tubes on pc boards = Intermittent pops, noise and flaky operation.
Pure crap.
Those things had to represent about the lowest point ever in the quality of
commercially built equipment.
