I bought a National NC-300 from him on eBay a few months ago. It was
basically as advertised, although I wouldn't call it "Excellent" as it
was described.

If it wasn't 'Excellent' as advertised; how was it 'basically as
advertised?' Sounds like a contradiction to me.

It definitely needed some work and was badly out of
calibration and alignment. The crystal phasing capacitor was cracked,
so I had to fix that, but I don't know if that happened in shipping or
not.

That doesn't sound excellent at all...in fact sounds pretty bad.

It was packed very well, in two boxes with a lot of styrofoam
peanut things and bubble wrap.

I hate the peanuts; but does sound like it was well packed...all the
more reason to suspect the 'excellent' thing.

It took a while for him to ship it out, but when I asked him when it
was going to be shipped, he did apologize and say he had just hurt his
back badly and that he would ship as soon as possible.

He has a bad reputation among the lists (Boatanchors, Hallicrafters,
Collins) some have had pretty good luck with him, most have not. Buyer
Beware.
