I think this is how a certain nice, restorable Crosley ended up being parted out: because it didn't work (and perhaps smoked a little) when it was plugged in. Radiotron--that's what we expect them to do. Some sets may try to work, even surprisingly well, but every sensible collector expects to replace parts before using a set as a daily driver. If the danger to life and property can't be impressed upon you, how about the fact that you are not getting the best possible performance out of unrestored sets...as your signature pic proves....
