[ARC5] [Boatanchors] Boatanchor Ennui: Is He Wrong?

[J Mcvey]

Ditto:My personal projects progress more slowly than the customer's though, but they do get done.I generally will restore a piece, use it for a while , then pass it on to the next collector/enthusiast. 
However, I tend to keep the ARC and SCR274 stuff.

 Since I repair, restore, etc., boat anchor equipment for others, I can say that I really don't fit this pattern.  Sometimes, I will even "work in" a project for myself!

Guys, after reading a few of these posts, I'm starting to think we may have to put this entire list on suicide watch!
There is another way to look at it. Think of all the fun and enjoyment these radios have given us and will continue to give us. Remember the fun of haunting the hamfests and laying your eyes on that really special set, good-naturedly haggling with the seller, and bringing that treasure home. Think of the fun restoring and repairing these sets, trying to make them perform as well as they did the day they left the factory (and sometimes succeeding). Remember those tough-dog sets that seemed to defy all of the established trouble-shooting technigues and how good you felt when you finally found and fixed the problem (usually something that was staring you in the face the whole time). Think about all the evenings spent using these sets. Remember the enjoyment of discussing these sets with other like-minded people.
I can't put a price on all of that. Can you?
