Colin, I believe that was what the original post for this thread was about.

I figured we should have some pics on here for when the ebay ad runs out.

If you're thinking about bidding... get pics of the inside of the set and psu - all around.

A lot of these sets I've seen from Italy looked lovely on the outside... but had been "demilled" by someone with a hammer on the inside.

Good point: of the ones which went through my hands years ago only relatively few were repairbale; the demilling had been a crude but pretty effective job. As there were so many, sets could be made by combining all the parts into working ones, but still spares needed to be sourced to complete the job. The ones which were smashed beyond repair were scrapped....

Contact Gerard Deibel (see above) for expertise, services and spares. He is the go-to guy when it comes down to radios.

It's only the box, the 19 set is not included.

Explains the lack of internal set and PSU photos here - I did not look at the epay page sufficiently.

The warning about ex-Italian sets is still valid... large numbers of them have been smashed inside.
