Pace did make some good radios, but that 2300 in your photo had a major flaw. The audio transistor mounted on the back without any heat sink would get so hot it would burn your fingers. We stopped selling those years ago after a few customers complained. Seems they needed to wait till the radio cooled down before tempting to remove the radio from its mount.
I remember a pace doing that we thought it bad and chucked it.
That radio is still for sale in Houston Craigslist. Been there for years. Might be some weirdo cult hidden beacon thing, dunno.
