I agree, but you should have seen it before I put it into the condition it NOW is!!! Mising 
audio transformer, no BFO transformer, all caps hanging out by their wires, previously 
converted to 12V filaments, front box missing, crappy "adapter" in front, missing paint, no 
bottom plate, etc. The only thing that wasn't ripped out was the power connector on the rear.

As I have repeatedly metioned here, ALL the receivers I have left are literally hacked to 
ribbons...and the few transmitters I have are even worse.
