This is a first generation Infiniti FX. The dash was known to bubble and warp so they issued a TSB to replace them with a new version made from an alternate material.

Walmart cut him a check and paid for the replacement. They never got the drain plug off.

I bought about 200 60’s era radios from a newspaper classified about 20 years ago. I sold three as complete units, but the rest were trashed appearance wise.

I made a killing selling the tubes out of them after building a rig to test them.

I’m so glad I’ve never gotten a customer who leaves money out as a “test.” I don’t trust people (sad, I know), but I’m not a dick and try and trick them. Whenever I have to take the TDI to the dealer for recalls I put a sign in the car saying there’s a dash camera, and I do a thorough inspection for any existing damage. I’m not looking to trick anyone, I just want to make sure they don’t lie again.

I have a B&K 707 that does a good job testing tubes. I have quite a collection, some more valuable than others. 200 sets of 60's vintage radio tubes would be a nice profit!
