Is This Filthy Radio A Piece Of Art Or Just Junk?

It's a promotional question being asked by something called "Fix Radio" in Britain, a station devoted to tradespeople who listen to the outlet while they're working on projects throughout the U.K. The station held a "filthiest radio" contest and the winner was a dirt encrusted machine that had a golf ball for a lost volume control and a jury rigged antenna to replace one that broke off. 

Is it museum-worthy? The accompanying video tries to answer that question.

Re: Is This Filthy Radio A Piece Of Art Or Just Junk?

My step father once had a neighbour who pulled a hoax on folks on the street.
He made himself out to be a professional artist when all he did was take pieces of junk from  his garage and put them on display in his front yard
One neighbour was so impressed he tried to imitate the man's "art" and even invited him over to view his efforts and ask if he was any good as an artist
The faux artist never let on about his hoax but did tell my step father and they all had a good laugh.
