Yup.. Radio was a week old - and totally ruined. Dude comes in to the CB shop I was working at when I was 14; wants a CB right now, and doesn't have the time to have it installed. So, we ran the power and antenna wires and laid it on the passenger seat until he could return to have it mounted. He comes back a week later to 'complain' that the radio no longer works. He had taken some time at his delivery lay-over to professionally mount his new radio to the under side of the dash. I went out and saw the bolt heads (with nice washers I might add) on the under side of the case of the radio. He drilled 2 mounting holes right through both sides of the case (and circuit board) and mounted that radio to the dash. It sure looked good, and it wasn't going anywhere, but the radio failed to operate after he wiped out most of the VCO and audio amplifier components with the 1/2" drill bit. True story - sigh.... Kevin
