Gents,

It is just a feeling that I have, but you seem to be talking about an 
object which was bought and paid for by another.  We aren't speaking of 
an ancient objet d'art.  A radio transceiver produced beginning twenty 
years back is being discussed.

If I purchase such a radio and want to dismantle it and sell it a 
capactitor at a time or if I want to run over it with the family car, it 
is really no one's business but my own.  If we only spent as much time 
worrying about our own behavior, we'd have fewer problems.

73,

Dave K8MN
