I did a reassembly of a vintage console radio after buying all the parts
off ebay and then the cabinet directly from the (local) seller... The
seller genuinely had no idea of what the thing was worth (and I may have
actually paid too much for it anyway). I still haven't had the time to
restore the electronics of that radio, but it is now mostly reassembled :)
I hesitate in telling the actual story of why it was sold as parts, as it
might horrify some folks.
