[Gary Decker]

We feel your pain Eugene. I dropped my PRC-320 once from about 5 feet and only broke the tuning meter which some nice person sent me for free. Good luck replacing your parts.

Not only did I damage the radio, but I damaged the wall and the hardwood floor.. ARRGGGHH. But I’m most concerned about the radio. Amazingly, the tubes did not shatter. Below are some pictures.
