I'm cleaning out my storage room (ensuite walk-in robe that we never used, so its full of shelves of radios) because the inlaws are moving in for a while... and lifted my Philips 634A Ovaltiney up to take it out to the container and found this:
That rates right up there as one of the more terrifying (terrorflying?) things I have seen in a while. It is now quarantined in a plastic bag, and all the other radios that were in that room are now in managed isolation. Its a royal pain in the butt because now I'm worried about the rest of the house as well... although the ply bottom of the radio, where they all came from, has a full 'border' so I'm not sure how many, if any, escaped. They all seem to have burrowed down, not up. The dust and dead bugs were fairly well contained to the square hollow under the base. But all cabinets from that room will spend 2 weeks each in the freezer when I have time. Until then they are all living in a 20' container away from all other radios.
I guess its a hazard of the trade... anyone else ever get a nice surprise like this?
