[AMRadio] WRL Globe king FS on QTH

[Jim Wilhite]

I stand corrected about the 500.  I must be thinking about some Collins 
transmitter then, but as you can see part of my memory lacks.

I have seen Johnson 500s for sale at very big prices, much more than I would 
want to pay and I am a bit taken with some of the Globe King prices.  I have 
a GK in pretty fair  condition that a very good friend sold to me for a 
pittance back in the early 90s.  I has given yeoman's service without 
protest.

One of the main differences in the two is the packaging and the difference 
in price.
