[ARC5] Survey Question

[Dennis Monticelli]

I have an unhacked BC-459.  However, in complete disregard for my wishes,
the seller put it in a large shipping box with absolutely no padding or
anything to restrict sliding around.  The shock of shipment broke the
ceramic mount on the loading coil and the little ball bearings of the PA
tuning capacitor bounced out of their race.  I managed to locate all but
three of the little ball bearings loose in the shipping box and epoxied the
ceramic.  Later I found a junker and installed an unbroken mount along with
the missing bearings.  So it's back to being a virgin again.....sort of.
