FRAUD WARNING!

This thing is NOT mint. It's a piece of estate sale trash, complete
with rust and gunk, gotten by Charlie Nudo, aka 66fourdoor on eBay, aka
akaim8 on Audiogon, to turn around quick for a HUGE profit. It didn't
work, so he picked the brains of various radiomen over in
rec.antique.radio+phono to get it to barely scrape by. He put fake
Russian 7591s in it to get it going, along with some other tubes and a
few cheap caps and resistors. He has NO electronic knowledge, NO
service background, nothing...this is a scam, plain and simple

You want message IDs or a link to the NG? I'd assume you could get to
the NG on your own, but....

....and browse anything having to do with "CAINE" and "Fisher 500C". If
you want to do some more research on this con artists, browse the email
addys:











You should be able to establish a pretty good pattern of behavior with
those.

Cracking veneer and rust on chassis and an incompetent eBay scammer
equals a $600 doorstop.
