Thank you for confirming what I suspected.  A foot operated radio seemed rather silly.  

As much as I 'd like to blame shipping, it was like this when I bid on it.  Not surprising I was the only bidder.  It may have been the victim of poor packing and was returned and relisted or perhaps the damage happened a long time ago.  I'm really not sure. 

I find it very strange how chipped up the edges of the bottom piece are.  As if someone tried to open it with a crowbar Icon_confused
