[R-390] Another "Close to Perfect" R-390a

[robert.boyd at servicecanada.gc.ca]

The description is just laughable and certainly the "best of the worst"! After labouring for hours aligning it to "better than Collins specs" he leaves the frame bent. What does this do to critical mechanical tolerances?

Radio-Mart tries to ride the gap between being an expert at how
beautiful
his radios-for-sale are, and at the same time has to feign enough
ignorance
so that he can claim he didn't know that the scratches had been spray
painted over and the radio doesn't really work right. So my belief is
that
he introduces "obvious" factual errors to make those much more apparent
than the facts that he is actually trying to hide.

In other words:

There is a thin line between ignorance and arrogance.
Radio-Mart has erased that line.
