S-Line again

My aversion to these Collins radio machines was mentioned before:

Saw these photos on the K9YA Face page:

See those RCA jacks (3) and plugs (2), especially in the middle picture ?  All a bad actor has to do is lift the hinged lid and then unplug or swap the RCA plugs around and voila, radio not working.

 

That was a "welcome to the real world" moment :(
