Very commendable on your part, Michael, but I have to wonder if you 
didn't just waste your time. Any idiot who can't LOOK at that radio and 
see that it didn't come from 1905, and obviously doesn't know the 
difference between transistors and...condom packets, and then puts an 
utterly ridiculous starting bid of $80K on it has got to be smoking 
something REALLY strong! An example of the fried brain syndrome...
