Mineral Spirits works great.

Mike,

The seller stated "EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT" in the listing. That's pretty
clear. If ANYTHING doesn't work, then the item was misrepresented and you
can file a dispute to get your money back. This is one of the reasons I
usually only use Paypal, but eBay's own buyer protection should help.

about half the stuff I buy on eBay has a notable problem, like the
Pansonic DR-49 I just got today that had a DEAD S-meter. I took apart the
radio and the S-meter had been worked on by a previous owner without
success.
the sellers response to my notification is that it was sold as-is and I
should speak to the post office and leave him alone.
the auction said the radio WORKED GREAT, now how can a radio with a DEAD
S-meter be said to work great.

my main question is does "sold as-is" mean "you're screwed, I can lie as
much as I want ! " when in an auction ?

after all if an auction says I am getting something and I don't get it
then how can that be justified ?
