Lighten up Guys !

That wreck is if nothing else a parts source for other sets in better condition but which would benefit from its usable pieces.

That dial pointer and surround alone is worth the selling price if you have an exceptionally good restorable radio - especially if you are in an area where such bits are virtually unattainable.

I applaud the seller for rescuing a collection of usable parts rather than punting it into the nearest landfill.

So the seller gets a few bucks out of this deal....and most likely the buyer has gotten the parts needed to bring another beater closer to restoration.
