[Hallicrafters] S-40A Tidbits...

[John Page]

     The original S-40 didnt have knob inserts. And I looked at the feedback 
of this guy. FIVE negatives for "NO SHIP".
     You can ask eBay for his information and they will email you his real 
name and address and phone number.
     If you cant get him, then call the police in his town and file a 
complaint. They should pay him a visit and you WILL get results. Has worked 
for me twice. My shipper couldnt wait to make me happy after the cops came 
to see him. Remember, this constitutes mail fraud.
     I also noticed that radio-man wast a registered user right now. Could 
be he is not paying eBay their bill.
