Yes the radio restoration was cringe worthy and who needs to use a scope to see if a transistor oscillator is operating. The knob fitted to the tuning dial looked good and full marks for the small plastic pot lid for the dial cover. He could have done much better for the volume control knob though!

Hopefully the restorer {a forum member perhaps} was under heavy direction from the producers to ham it up.
