I think this is really sad:

Maybe the cabinet was bad...but maybe the cabinet could have been put back together somehow? We'll never know! This thing is really bizarre!

...and no bass with the speaker mounted like that with no baffle behind it. And: "Sorry, ma'am, you don't need a radio tech, you need a plumber."

I dunno... Seem kinda funky to me. I like seeing the guts of a working radio like that. Polish everything up and you'd have quite a show piece.

Assuming the cabinet was a total loss, then I don't think it's so bad. I don't care for the oak trim though. It seems out of place with the rest of the color scheme.

Probably dangerous around kids.

That thing has been floating around for sometime now.

Somehow it reminds me of those wire figure people with the bladder control problem. ;)
