bet the eBay auction where you bought it said something like....

"I'm selling this for a friend and I don't know much about radios, but
it
looks real nice except for a couple missing thingys. I didn't turn it on,
so I don't know if it works, but my friend said he thought it does...."


Probably more like "I'll make sure it is properly boxed for shipment..."
