That is a superb idea, Bill. ;-)

Oh, shucks: that means you've wimped out.

You bet, Bill. About 10 years ago, or so, I sold several NIB "ARC-5" 
receivers, so I knew what one looked like. I think our own Ty Ramey bought 
at least one for an airplane he is restoring.

BTW, I had bid up to somewhat over $100.00 on that thing: I see the recent 
bid is well over that.

I expect to see the final bid to be over $200.00.

Oh. Another BTW, did you fellows see the AR-88 some complete fool has up 
on eBay with an opening bid of $4500.00?

Don't these idiots ever check "Competed Auctions" in order to get even a 
remote idea of what something like that is really going for?
