AM/FM Truck Radio
 

This is the BEST one of these I have ever had and I have owned a bunch. This is out of my personal stash. The chrome is Great and would probably be better if polished also has both A/M and F/M decals and complete knobs and cups even the bracket on back. It did play great when removed. $350.00 shipped to the lower 48 First I WILL TAKE IT GETS IT !!!!! Thanks

PICTURES DON'T DO IT JUSTICE!!!!

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

Hey Mike, I received the Radio but they are no knobs what so ever one of the push buttons is broke into and they are a black soot all over it with a bad burnt smell I am posting a couple of cell phone pictures right now will take better ones tomorrow with the digital camera but this is not the condition of the radio when it was mailed to you as you stated in the PM We really need to talk! Thanks

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

Looks like it was worked out 6 months ago to me. I don't believe it's Tim's to sell at this point.

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

Might want to re-read the posts from 4/19 on.... :mm:

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

Hey Tim,

Push Button was not damaged when i shipped. Radio was insured for $400.00...Installed the radio using the original oem speaker with original wiring harness.

Thanks, Mike

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

This is interesting. I can see both sides, but it's the time factor that's the real sticking point. Good lesson, though. The next time I buy anything electronic that's 40+ years old, I'll find a way to test it right away. By the way, where's the knobs?

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

I read the whole thread before commenting and don't see what is to be worked out. Tim Christian sold an excellent condition (cosmetic) working radio 6 months ago. I spoke with Tim about this and he had tested it. Now it's fried 6 months later? Just because an original 402 runs well with no issues when sold doesn't mean it might not spin a bearing or a wipe a cam 6 months later. A lot can happen in 6 months and this wasn't a freshly reconditioned radio. Had it been that I can see where am issue would need dealt with. I also know the radio would have cost more. I've seen non-working am/fms sell for this price. The factor of how it was handled in the hands of the buyer over 6 months needs to be considered.
I think this should be handled as suggested on 4/19 post #6. But,since it hasn't,that's my 2 cents.:cool:

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

1st...I appreciate this hasn't turned into a bash fest which is refreshing.:metal:
I had one experience like this. I bought a starter from WES at Classic Heartbeat a number of years ago and when I received the starter it sat in the box unopened for several months. Once I opened it one I was shocked to see that one of the mounting tabs was broken off. What did I do...I bit the bullet because it wasn't WES's fault and to go back on the shipping company would have been a waste. So what I learned is when you buy something either use it, test it, or check it out for its condition.Best of luck with a proper resolution.

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

I do hope this ends or is resolved to everyone's satisfaction but with that I would add the 6 months time frame, the before and after pictures and working with 40 year old parts all has a bearing on this. Best of luck with this situation.

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

The comment is what confused me ;)

Since from what I'm reading Tim already refunded the money and has the (now damaged) product I didn't see this as resolved....

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

I wish i would of tested the radio rite away but i trusted Tim.

Re: AM/FM Truck Radio
 

Have you tried another radio like an am stock unit to see if your connections are good.? TIM mentioned a burning smell though and that can't be good in any electronic device.Tim has always been honest with me and other people I know and don't believe he would intentionally mislead anyone.

Tim if its yours and you are going to sell it as a core, I would be interested in it. Depends on the price of corse. Hope that the issues don't leave bad feelings.

You dont need to send me any more pictures. Your going to have to go to usps and get a insurance claim on the radio and get a refund. I need a refund back asap $325.00..I payed for the shipping and insurance.Please send me a private msg back..Not on the post..

I said:

Ok Mike, I really want to work with you on this but you have to understand my side also. First off I am not going to argue the working/not working part of the radio with you. Second the knobs and cups go with the radio they are not a $25.00 credit item. Thrid the push button is broke in two pices and it was not like that when you received it. So the First step would be to file a insurance claim with the post office as you stated you have it insured for $400.00 You get that started and we will go from there. I work from Monday to Friday from 7am to 5pm and the post office is closed so I will see this evening if the wife can take it tomorrow. I will not issue a refund untill I hear something from the insurance PERIOD! I do not feel that I am asking for to much. Thanks Tim
