the silver metal insert in to the bandswitch knob.
he knows its missing but he of course he lies.
that reduces the value to a collector and it can not be claimed to be MINT
someone who claims to be the worlds largest drake dealer should not be lying
son of a bitch.

Pretty obvious now that you pointed it out.

Actually it doesn't appear to be missing the insert at all!

Looks like a non stock knob. But, he should know that.

Replacement knobs *are* available, and I doubt the knob being non stock would put off
any *true* collector.

I asked Martyn about it and he says "I have it here somewhere."

Not sure if he means the insert or the original knob.

If the backside of that radio is mint, I'm the Shiek of Araby.

Digging through Martyn's sales, I found this buyer:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=bagger
The only negative feedback he got in the last year was from
Radio-Mart(TM). Yet Martyn called him:

" Reply by radio-mart: a real nasty one this, the rig is perfect, still
is, One of the Nastiest Buyers"

Buying from Radio-Mart(TM) can be bad for your ebay rating.

for the whole story, the buyer has a web site:

HTTP://WWW.NEW--HORIZONS.COM

he fought radio-mart and WON !
