Ya gotta love a guy with a good sense of humor!

I especially liked "It appears to be complete and un tampered with."!

I have some insight into why that thing looks like that.  Back around 
1960, I was working in a 2-way radio shop, and one of the owners also 
had an A & E certificate.  The mobile radio business got slow, and he 
went out and solicited repair and alignment of a fleet of those *%
$#*&+! things.  After working on benign mobile radios, it was a 
shocking experience to find most of the tuning adjustments had B+ on 
them, all unmarked, of course.  Probably some tech had less patience 
than I did and flung the d---ed thing across the room as hard as he 
could.  I sure wanted to.
