Default Wish, I had done this to my S350, instead...

"UN-Reliable Machine for the Price"

"Was I on drugs when I wrote that?? Shortly after I wrote the
paragraph above, I began to have paper handling problems. The feeder
would refuse to take a single sheet at a time and would suck in 2, 3,
10, it didn't have any control at all. The problem got so aggravating
that I ended up bashing the machine to pieces with my fist and
throwing it out the door into the yard. I then got a hammer and
smashed it into little bits. That's how much I hated that machine. I
would like to also point out that I am usually a peace loving and
thoughtful person, more prone to working things out than resorting to
violence. In hindsight, I should have just returned it to Costco, but,
I was so angry at the absolutely poor performance of the machine that
I didn't even think of it at the time."

It's never too late and I have an idea. Why don't you buy a dozen
S350 radios then beat them to pieces with a hammer. Yes, just sit
cross-legged in your driveway and hammer away. It should give you and
your neighbors hours of pure pleasure and then you can report back
with the results and possibly some pictures.
