I see both sides of the story. I enjoy listening to my old radios....unless they sound like crap. My 70 has been lingering on the shelf with no attention. That's not fair to it either. So an easily reversible mod to improve its sound brings the radio back to life in my collection. I think it deserves that. And for the purist that someday buys it, I can put it back.
