I bought an early 50s Sylvania table model TV complete with a hidden family of about 6 rats in it this past spring. Does that count?

I opened a radio that had several dozen baby spiders living in it. No pic of Uncle Joe, however. Spiders mighta eaten it.

Wow...so where are you from, boora, and where did you find this radio with a loaded gun inside??!?

[toxcrusadr]

Oh, on second thought, never mind.

Hmm. A radio with quite a bang. Good thing you are safe.

Boorish Boorish is gone now-BooHoo- but I remember the story back when we were still part of AK, some guy bought a highboy late 20s-early Thirties radio, loaded in this van, & got underway good, & was attacked by the Angry Residents of the big-@zz Wasper Nest that had gone previously unnoticed..

Twenty-two years in the U.S. armed forces and never heard a shot fired in anger. Now I have to worry about death by radio. Maybe I should go back to golf.
