Lessee... $300K down, $5,500/mo payments... Pass the hat for the "Intercept Home for Ancient Monitors".

I remember when I was in high school and that thing had a radar array antenna on top. If you were cruising Birch Bay with your AM radio on every few seconds it made a buzz come out of the speakers.

If they don't put the antenna back on top (working or not but it *has* to spin), it's a "no go" for me.
