I think I'll watch this one!

At least I won't have to ship the darn thing.

If you contact the seller, I would advise him to NOT mess any more with replacing fuses and powering it up -- especially just to get a photo of a lighted dial. Nothing good can happen while it's still in their unpracticed hands.

Just my $0.02.

I already contacted them about that. Much to their credit they posted my comments in the listing. Undoubtedly they would have burned something up in that set had they kept putting fuses in it and powering it up. It's sad how many people on Ebay keep powering up long-unused radios and TVs to see if they will do anything, hoping they will work so they can get more money for them. In the process a lot of damage is being done to the old sets.
