[Boatanchors] Radiomart part deux?

[John Flood]

Greetings,

While I'm all in favor of a free market system, I also believe even more so in 
buyer beware.  Look at item 300463606665 and at the unmentionable place.  A 
friend of mine sold it at Boxboro.  I had looked at it and the restoration work 
he had done.  This is the same radio.  Nothing has been reworked buy 
the seller other than a possible alingment and his superior tube testing.  It 
is exactly as rebuilt buy the previous owner.  I should know as I considered 
buying it!  Anyone have any dealings with him?  Perhaps he is a Martyn clone?  
His ad copy rivals his!  Neither I nor the previous owner have any grudge 
against someone trying to make a buck reselling something but if you take credit 
for anothers work, how can you be trusted in other matters?  The HQ-170 he is 
selling came from the same seller at Boxboro.  I will note that he makes no 
similar claims on that item.  For your digestion and decision but thought it 
worth passing it on.
