Well, get a big rope, a strong tree, and a wide chair, cause I am seriously 
thinking of joining you... :-(

It even still had that port down low on the left side of the front panel where 
the loading coil connected... WITH its cap.

The "window" was missing, as was the loading coil, but everything else 
appeared to be there...including that extra-long capacitor near the front 
underneath.

The center capacitor looked as though it had had plates pulled, but that one 
looked like the normal ones.
