Once brought a 60's Grundig console to a shop that specialized in them. We did not know that the changer was not held in by anything other than gravity and the pickup arm got smashed. When we got to the shop in chicagoland the b!tchy german lady that ran the place accused me of breaking it (I was about 12 at the time) a verbal fight insued, and I threatened take it home and put it out at the curb. I then brought it to the shop of the good friend that got me started fixing radios, and he had an acident with it that dammaged the only remaining good part of the set. We were moving at the time and I just had it with the thing and when my friend told me there was a collector that wanted it for parts I told him to sell it to him for as much as the guy would pay.
Some sets just get very unlucky very fast.
