Found this on Craigslist out of Laredo. Do the Ruby knobs increase power?

All that bling reminds me of the guys around Indianapolis, yet they ask for 10-20 radio checks and "What am I putting on your meter".

Then there is this one out of Houston Craigslist. It's been there for at least 5 years running with constant update of Craigslist to move it to top of page.
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.
