    "How did that receiver get out of the factory??"

    Illegitimately, perhaps? A "lunchtime special" made from failed parts that should have been scrapped but somehow missed the bin?

    If so, then this is a long version of a "suicide special". All pressure-bearing parts must be regarded as scrap.
