[ADXA] leaky caps, bad batteries, etc …..

Tue Oct 27 16:03:08 EDT 2020

I was curious who this fellow was and tracked down his call as W8REW (as best I can figure).

Besides the huge amount of gear, I found it interesting he achieved DXCC on 160 using a random wire from his apartment. Didn’t say how long it took, but bet it was an over abundance of patience and dedication!

I’m not sure I’ll live that long!

Things that do not work could easily sell for parts. The tuners should be no problem, nor most microphones and simple accessories. Don’t forget the 10% auction company fee.

Not sure who does Ten Tec repairs or whatever, but the cost of having a problem and shipping both ways might not be offset by a fairly low price at auction.

I'm told that ANY & ALL of the items will go to the highest bid received by its ending and W/O any minimums or comparisons to current value being of concern!   Fully 1/2 of the listings are BRAND NEW, UNUSED, STILL IN THE ORIGINAL BOX items and the used items are LIKE-NEW.  I'm also told that THIS listing will be the ONLY one that will be made!
