I believe that little device on the back of your front shell is the antenna for your radio, which I think I can barely see in one of your interior photos (the radio is optional on TMs as I recall). Not sure about the glowing light, mine doesn't have that but the radio does work well (a Sony w/CD player was installed in mine already when purchased). If I'm wrong someone here will surely tell us both.

That would indeed be a tiny solar trickle charger!! Those dealers, what a bunch of jokers!

Looks like a nice unit though and I hope you have a lot of fun with it! Wish I had your wood floors, taking out my carpet to replace with something like yours is on my list for this summer.
