I am sorry that i posted here. I thought that some originality would have been appreciated here. I guess not.

I wanted my personality + the radio as the memento. not some old radio that i would never use and thought that the original finish was ugly.

the screen was 149.99$ shipped to my door. i could not get half of the radio restored or parts for it for that cost. you are crazy and wrong.

You guys should really open up your minds and get creative. Originally should be appreciated instead of semi-flamed.
