Ain't that the truth...maybe they could learn something from fixing old radios--you know--where they had to work together to get it fixed.

Fat chance!

I saw that during my search, sure is ugly though, wonder if it's got a SS glow. :D How's it working for you as I'm not crazy about realigning the radio...it seems pretty good now.

Works perfect with excellent sensitivity across all bands. I know it's ugly, but it works better than the IR5. Mine's an earlier version, and even uglier. It doesn't even have a tube envelope covering it.
