I am sure ANY radio can be made to work, but this is my personal strategy when I by radios:

My weakness is cabinetwork, so when I buy I look for cabinets I do not have to do anything really heavy duty on in order to make it look somewhat presentable. (to be perfectly honest even though I can make any chassis work, I will not buy (knowingly) overly rusty and otherwise in bad shape chassis. I want t work on electronics but I do not necessarily want to scrub rust and paint).

So, you know where your weak spot is. Why buy radios that will clearly present a problem to you to the degree that you would be thinking of hiring someone?
