I bought a Drake R7 a few years ago on eBay and the guy told me it was
mint.
Upon opening the original box I discovered a small hairline scratch on the
bottom plate.

Whatever should I have done? Used a less powerful magnifying glass?

Your input appreciated.

Steve, you got seriously screwed. Let me help you out by purchasing said
defective radio from you for $25. I'll even pay shipping. :-)
