I'm sorry but the best use of the Internet is when people offer FREE advice. I know this group sells radio's that are repaired, but I was able to fix mine for free by following some advice of people on the internet. If you aren't the type to do-it-yourself then sure it is nice to trade one in for a fixed one. Usually those people aren't looking on the Internet for help. They are at the dealer buying a new one. However, everyone seems to be buying one guys stuff when information should be flowing for free. Am I wrong??

I took pictures when I fixed one today and posted them here...

Hmmm, wonder who this is *really* from.

Hello Billy Manasco, I just had a client contact me in regards to some information that you have posted on the internet supplying information to fix your own radio. It appears that he saw your instructions today on fixing a problem on a radio and proceeded to follow them. Upon reinstalling his radio, it did not fix his problem. He stepped away to get a bite for lunch to come back to find that his Ford Explorer had caught on fire and was burning through his garage in his apartment complex. Could you tell me when you first posted your information to do this radio repair? Regards, Frank Bernstein snipped-for-privacy@bernstein-siler-law.com
