[AMRadio] Huge Radio and Tube Collection up for Grabs

[Kim Elmore]

We bring a lot of this on ourselves because, well... We don't plan on 
dying.

Yet, we need to think about these things. Most of us have (or darn well 
should have) a Will. We should also leave behind a pretty complete list 
of the "stuff" we have and designate a friend (a real friend, not merely 
an acquaintance or some Hammy Hambone) with knowledge about the gear and 
its market to help sell it off.

We're all penny pinchers and cheapskates until we see the Good Stuff. 
But somebody needs to know where and how to most effectively market our 
Good Stuff when we no longer need it.
