Car radio confiscation sparks heated debate and repairs
The article recounts a disputed car radio case where a unit was taken, evaluated as in poor repair, with suggested repairs at 60.90 by Young's Radio and cheaper options by Mr. Center.

Johnstone asserts full disclosure and availability of repair sheets and correspondence, condemning distortion as slanderous.
