One of many pleasant experiences with Fair Radio, in 1997 I asked them for 
a "checked, aligned, good-working R-392, which was pretty enough to please 
my girl friend".

The radio worked properly, had the 'correctly emissive' meter, and was 
pretty enough, although the YL was not so impressed as by rights she might 
have been.

("Oh look, [insert YL name here], what I just spent $300 on.." -for some 
reason that seems to ruin it every time.)

It did impress everyone at work where I had it shipped to.. bunch of old 
men engineers.. they drooled and lusted, which brings me to the point that 
there is a terrible shortage of female engineers and radio geeks.
